In this research, the relationship between physical measurements and subjective evaluations of floor impact noise in apartment building was quantified by applying the neural network analysis due to its complex and nonlinear characteristics. The neural network analysis was undertaken by setting up L-value, inverse A index, Zwicker parameters and ACF/IACF factors, as input data, which came from the measurements at real suites of apartment building having various sound insulations. The subjective responses from the psychoacoustic experiments were extracted as output data. Then, the reliability of the quantitative prediction for the subjective loudness was evaluated.

최근 멀티미디어 분야 중에서 가장 중요한 기술 중의 하나가 압축이다. 오디오 파일들은 인터넷을 중심으로 급속히 전파되어가고 있으며, 그 중에서 가장 유명한 것이 MP-3(MPEC-1 Layer3)인데, MP-3는 128Kbps에서 CD음질을 얻을 수 있지만 64Kbps 이하에서는 음질이 급속히 떨어진다. 반면에 MPEG-2 AAC(Advanced Audio Coding)는 MPEG-1과 호환성을 무시하지만 MP 3보다 1.4배의 높은 압축 율을 갖으며, 최대 7.1채널과 96KHz의 샘플 율을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-2 AAC 인코더 부분에서 막대한 연산 량을 갖는 심리음향 모델을 최적화하여 AAC 인코딩 연산 량을 감소시키며 처리속도를 증가하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 심리음향 모델 최적화 응용 프로그램은 C++언어를 이용하여 구현하였으며, 실험결과 심리음향 모델은 SMR(Signal to Masking Ratio)을 위하여 44.1KHz의 샘플 율을 갖고 2048포인트의 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)연산을 수행하며, 인코더 블록의 제어를 위하여 서브밴드 필터에 각각의 엔트로피 값들이 입력된다. 제안된 심리음향 모델은 비 예측성 값의 최적화로 인하여 빠른 속도로 수행되었다. 또한 비 예측성 값을 순음지수로 변화 시, 고 주파수 영역의 순음지수 값의 최적화로 연산처리 속도가 증가하였다.

근래 에어컨, 냉장고 및 세탁기와 같은 가전 전기제품에도 전력소비의 저감, 저속운전에 의한 소음저감 및 인간에게 보다 안락한 기능을 제공하기 위하여 인버터 시스템의 적용이 증가되고 있다. 그러나 인버터 시스템은 PWM에 의해 불필요하게 발생되는 전자기소음의 저감과 소음의 질에 대한 감성소음의 개선이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 브러쉬없는 직류전동기로 구동되는 왕복동식 압축기에 대하여 고정 PWM과 랜덤 PWM의 전자기소음 분석을 통하여 인버터 냉장고에 랜덤 PWM을 적용함으로써 전자기소음의 저감 및 감성소음의 개선효과가 있음을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

Psychoacoustic characteristics of automobile hems influence subject's subjective evaluation and psychophysiological reactions on the sounds of car horns. However, differentiation of physiological responses to commercially availablenfluence subject's subjective evaluation and psychophysiological reactions on the s horns is a complicated task due to the small contrast in technical features of horns and the influence of habituation. Using 10 college students, comparative analysis of physiological reactivity was carried out in order to identify the effect of habituation on decrement of psychophysiological responsivity, assess the ability to differentiate subjectively most and least preferred/appropriate horns according to physiological manifestations. EEG and autonomic responses to 7 automobile horns were analyzed during 3 blocks of trials (each block was varied in order for presenting stimuli and acoustic parameters of horns). It was shown that electrodermal and cardiovascular responses had different reactivity patterns to repeated stimulation. Skin conductance variables (SCL, SCR) were habituated as a function of trial. Cardiac reactivity (HR, RSA) showed no signs of habituation. In contrast, sensitization was shown in the vascular component of response (pulse volume). The temporal EEG exhibited marked habituation of fast beta band power, while alpha-blocking effect did not habituate during the course of experiment. Differentiation of physiological responses of most and least preferred/appropriate horns was possible in this study. That is, some cardiovascular reactivity variables (HR, RSA, pulse volume, etc.) were differentiated between the least and the most preferred/appropriate horns during the experiment. However, EEG and electrodermal parameters showed significant differences only during first block of trials and were later affected by habituation.

This study aims at identifying the effect of preferred visual and auditory stimuli on the road traffic noise perception through the series of psychoacoustic experiments. The first experiment was designed to find the addition effect of a sound reproducing system in a square where lay adjacent to roads with road traffic noise, provide appropriate music corresponding to the varying conditions of weather in the given space. In result, it was found that the rating around the square improved toward more positive adjectives. The second experiment was designed to assess the visual effect of twelve roadsides with different landscapes on the road traffic noise perception. As a result, approx. 3 to 5 dB(A) of psychological reduction was seen in places where natural landscape was preferred, compared to the others, although the noise levels were similar. The third experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of visual screen from adjacent roads on road traffic noise perception by means of ME method in a laboratory. In result, the effect of psychological reduction was observed at 65dB(A) or lower. Especially, complete screening from adjacent roads led to 5 to 10% of loudness reduction effect, compared to non-screening cases. Finally, the fourth experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of visual and auditory information with ME method and 7-point SD rating scale in a laboratory. In result, up to 10% of loudness reduction and about 2dB(A) of noise perceptional reduction were seen at 65dB(A) or lower.

Automobile horn's psychoacoustic characteristic and significance as a anturalistic signal of danger makes it a valuable auditory stimulus to study such psychophysiological responses as startle, orienting and defense reactions. However, comparison and differentiation of physiological responses to commercially available horns is a complicated task due to small contrast of technical features of horns and influence of such processes as habituation on physiological outcome with increased number of auditory stimulation trials. In the study on 10 college students we performed comparative analysis of tonic and phasic reactivity of physiological responses mediated by autonomic nervous system in order to identify role of habituation and decrement of autonomic responsivity, as well as possibility o differentiate subjectively most and least preferred and subjectively more appropriate horns according to physiological manifestations. It was showed that electrodermal and cardiovascular reactivity have concurrent patterns of adaptation to repeated stimulation, namely skin conductance variables habituated, cardiac reactivity failed to show signs of habituation, while vascular component of response were facilitated demonstrating marked sensitization. Differentiation of Physiological responses to horns with respect to their subjective rating scores was possible, however electrodermal reactivity was effective only at the first block of trials, while phasic and tonic cardiovascular reactivity differentiate responses during whole course of experiment. There are discussed possible autonomic mechanisms involved in mediation of observed results.

Psychoacoustic characteristics of automobile horns play significant role in resulting subjective evaluation and psychphysiological reactions. However, comparison and differentiation of physiological responses to commercially available horns is a complicated task due to the small contrast in technical features of horns and the influence of such processes as habituation on physiological outcome with the increased number of auditory stimulation trials. In a study on 10 college students, there was performed comparative analysis of reactivity of physiological responses mediated by central and autonomic nervous systems in order to identify the role of habituation on decrement of psychophysiological responsivity and assess the ability to differentiate subjectively most and least preferred, as well as most and least appropriate horns according to physiological manifestations. The EEG and autonomic responses to 7 automobile horns were analyzed during 3 blocks of trials, with varying order of stimuli and changed acoustic parameters of horns in each block. Thus, responses were analyzed for totally 21 trials of auditory stimulation. It was shown that electrodermal and cardiovascular responses have different reactivity patterns to repeated stimulation: skin conductance measures habituated, cardiac reactivity showed no signs of habituation, and the vascular response demonstrated sensitization. The temporal EEG exhibited marked habituation of fast beta band power, while alpha-blocking effect did not habituate during the course of experiment. Differentiation of physiological responses of most and least preferred and appropriate horns was possible in our study, however, some cardiovascular reactivity measures differentiated during the entire course of the experiment, while EEG and electrodermal parameters showed significant differences only during first block of trials, and were later affected by the habituation.
