The ship radiated noise level fluctuates by the difference of interference and reverberation according to measurement methods and environmental conditions. These phenomena cause error of the source level estimation even in the same environment conditions. This paper describes a quantitative analysis and a reduction method for an error value to the source level estimation in spatial and temporal interference environment. The design criteria of the radiated noise measurement array composed of omni-directional hydrophones and the source level accuracy in the deep water range are given. The source level accuracy in the shallow water range is also derived based on the statistical model of the multiple reflection paths. The results are verified using the water tank experiment and the sea trial.

An experimental study on firing noise of K2 rifle was performed. Firing noises of K2 rifle were measured at close distance to rifle. Firing noise of K2 rifle which made in Korea, has not measured before. The measurement of firing noise at close distance is not simple, because the amplitude of firing noise is much bigger than the measuring limit of ordinary sound level meter even though it uses a signal attenuator. The measurement of firing noise at close distance is necessary for noise source positioning and for obtaining the sound power of K2 rifle. By this experimental study, the firing noise levels of K2 rifle at different positions are obtained and these data can be used to Predict the sound pressure level at any distance from muzzle of the rifle. Also these data can be used to calculate the threshold shift of gunner's ear.

Underwater acoustic noise measurement is an essential element for vulnerability assessment of modern naval platforms. But during the last few decades environmental conditions have drastically changed due to the gradually increasing sea ambient noise level and decreasing submarine radiated noise level. A real-time underwater acoustic measurement system with vertical line array is designed for the quiet submarine radiated noise assessment in challenging environment. This system has a constant directivity index in measurement frequency range and accurate tracking capability for the transmission loss compensation and navigation aids inside the submarine. This system has been validated at sea and used several times for the submarine noise measurement.

Elevator noise in apartment houses is one of the factors which prevent the residents from quiet and comfortable life. The elevator noise measurement method [KS F ISO 16032] is introduced from the matching ISO standard, however, it has problems in the application to the actual measurement. To visualize the problems, measurements in an apartment house are conducted, which has been suffering from the elevator noise for a long time. The measurement itself is extremely difficult due to the low sound pressure level of elevator, which is lower than 35 dB (A), and the even higher background noise level. However the vibration levels measured at the same time are relatively less disturbing As a result of vibration measurement, it was found that the vibration is clearly measured on the wall, and presents a high correlation coefficient of over 0.8 with the noise levels measured This shows that the vibration level measured on the elevator walls may be rather reliable numbers than the elevator noise levels in the actual noisy condition of elevator halls and the vicinity.

Recently, many apartment houses were built in nearby road and railway. Road traffic noise level and railroad traffic noise level are important factors on apartment houses inhabitant's acoustic comforts. The measurement methods which noted by Ministry of Construction & Transportation, Ministry of Environment and Korean Industrial Standard are used for measurement of exterior noise at apartment houses. The purpose of this study compare the noise level characteristic by the measuring methods and evaluating methods. The results show that road traffic noise in the daytime appeared by not greatly noise level difference by the measuring method and evaluating methods. But railroad traffic noise appeared by greatly the noise level difference by the equivalent noise level(1hour) and continuous time.

The breaker noise is one of the main noise sources of construction site. It is very important to assess and measure the breaker noise accurately, because the noise labelling will be in effect January 2008 in Korea. Therefore, It is necessary to measure the sound power level of breakers and use a appropriate test method in accordance with international standard. In this study, we measure the sound power level of breakers by using the breaker noise measurement system. This system makes it possible to measure the breaker noise more accurately than to measure the noise of that attached with excavator, because this system can control main factors affecting breaker noise such as hydraulic input power, hydraulic supply pressure, breaker inlet oil flow and so on.

Road traffic noise level and railway noise level are important factors on apartment inhabitant's comforts. The measurement methods which noted by Ministry of Construction & Transportation(MOCT) and Ministry of Environment(ME) are used for measurement of exterior noise at apartment houses. But these methods are out of date because the height of apartment houses have increased dramatically and owing to the sampling methods of the measurement time interval, rating values are induced differently due to sampling methods. In this study, the sound level of each floor of apartment houses is measured and compared. And rating value due to sampling methods are compared. As a result, the KS outline of 'Field Measurement of Exterior Noise at Apartment Housess' is suggested.

The purpose of this study is to present a guideline to design a short-term manual measurement of environmental noise level, which is more economical and flexible, but less representative than long-term automatic measurement. The proposed guideline can provide the number of measurement times and the length of measurement term required to secure the extent of the representativeness. The data was collected at 4 sites located in Seoul and at 4 sites located outside of Seoul. The probabilities for five-minute equivalent noise levels, Leq, 5min, to stay in an error range from the quarterly representative noise level were used to evaluate sampling techniques. The probability analysis of the daytime period showed that the noise levels measured between 10 am and 2 pm and between 9 pm and 10 pm have the probabilities higher than 60 %. On the other hand, even for the same length of total measurement time, increasing the number of random samplings results in higher probabilities than increasing the length of measurement term.

Noise is one of the major environmental problems in human life. To reduce the noise emitted from the control valve it is necessary to develop the measurement method, measurement system, analysis method applicable to the field. In this study IEC and ISO standards were investigated and measurement method for the valve noise was proposed. Noise from the valve was measured in the reverberation room and sound power level was calculated. The sound power level increased as the flow rate and pressure difference increased. The noise characteristics are useful to predict valve noise for given conditions, to compare the performance of different valves and to develope low-noise valves.

This article evaluates the accuracy of noise measurements for 37 noise measurement applications for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs. Noise levels were measured using simultaneously a precision sound level meter and iPhones installed noise measurement applications at the levels of 70 dB, 80 dB and 90 dB at 1,000 Hz. Measurement errors were estimated by subtracting two measurements between iPhone and sound level meter. It was found that measurement errors of 34 applications(89.2%) were greater than ${\pm}2$ dB which is the maximum allowable error range for the Type II sound level meter. It was only 4 applications that measurement errors lie within ${\pm}2$ dB error range. There was no significant differences among measurements with four iPhone 4s. However, there were significant differences between the measurements with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs using the same application. It was due to the different hardware specifications such as microphone. Therefore, noise measurement applications, for example, which has to utilize hardware of the smartphone, should be programmed to identify hardware specifications and to adopt appropriate correction factors upon hardware specifications. In conclusion, it is necessary to check accuracy and validity before using the noise measurement applications for iPhones. Also, it was suggested that it should develop an evaluation guideline or protocol on accuracy testing for the measurement applications using a smartphone.
