심리음향모델을 기반으로 주파수영역에서 잡음을 형상화하여 오디오 신호에 부가하였을 때 부가된 잡음이 지각되지 않는 방법을 제안하였다. 신호의 마스킹 문턱값으로부터 지각되지 않는 잡음의 준위를 구하는 것은 심리음향모델에서 확산함수와 관련된 디컨버루션을 수반하는데 난제(ill-conditioned Problem)로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 최적화 기법을 적용하여 잡음의 여기준위를 신호의 마스킹 준위에 일치시킴으로써 신호에 부가된 잡음이 청각적으로 지각되지 않는 한도 내에서 최대한의 잡음준위가 되도록 형상화하는 방법을 제시하고 실험적으로 그 타당성을 증명하였다.

In this study, a speech enhancement is presented based on the utilization of well-known auditory mechanism, noise masking. The speech enhancement approach adopted here is to derive an modifier that achieves audible noise suppression. This modification selectively affects the perceptually significant spectral values, and is therefore less prone to introduction of unwanted distortions than methods that affect the complete STSA and produces more enhanced results at low SNR as well as at high SNR. The speech enhancement method adopted here needs exact estimation of the minimum specteal value per critical band because it uses only the minimum spectral value per critical band. For this, the method adopted here uses the modified spectral subtraction that is more flexible than power spectral subtraction. So, the result in experiment represented better SNR than before.

In this paper, we supposed teller following algorithm that using sound localization for developing dialog type humanoid robot. A sound localization is studied for develop the techniques of an efficient 3-D sound system based on the psychoacoustics of spatial hearing with multimedia or virtual reality. When a robot talk with human, it is necessary that robot follow human for improved human interface and adaptive noise canceling. We apply this algorithm to robot system.

When we heard the sound of waves, we can feel stable and comfortable. I'm going to analysis the cause of comfortableness. The period is about three seconds when we breathed in relaxed state. The frequencies which in waves sound and meditation or heavy sleep are alike. Furthermore we can see that frequency is distributed in all over band width like white noise. In this paper, we confirm the fact that waves sound give comfortableness to us with Frequency Following Response.

In our life, we have used many digital appliances. They helped us to improve the quality of lift but sometimes gave us unsatisfactory result because they produce specific noise. Especially a vacuum cleaner produces a great deal of noise that is very annoying. So we need to study what sound metrics affect human sensibility. In this paper, we will study sound quality index for vacuum cleaner. The subjective evaluation of vacuum cleaner sound can be indicated to objective parameters by sound metrics of psychoacoustics. The artificial neural network can estimate the nonlinear characteristics of relation between subjective evaluation and sound metrics. We applied the artificial neural network to the development of sound quality index for vacuum sound.

Customers want to have more convenient and comfortable vehicle. Motor-on-caliper EPB(Electrical Parking Brake) System is one of the new systems for customer's convenience. It is applied for Midsize vehicle for reducing weight/price compared to cable puller type EPB. In this paper we studied sound quality improvement of motor-on-caliper EPB system. We developed the sound quality index and suggested the interior sound quality target value. To meet the target value cascading target was also suggested. EPB motor vibration level & sound radiation level, vibro-acoustic transfer function level from EPB to interior was defined. To find out effective way of sound quality improvement and find cascading target, TPA(Transfer Path Analysis) was carried out.

Now days, as the consideration of sound environment is getting important, method of physical measurement such as reverberation time and sound pressure level becomes common. However, such method cant include subjective sensation such as personal emotion and feeling, evaluation. So there is a limitation to make the most optimized sound environment. Therefore, in the present experiment, I improve big indoor gymnasium that has sound defect because of too long reverberation time. After that, I conduct the auditory sense evaluation of human psychological response. From the experiment, I will make research into sound satisfaction rate about the subject space and response of each item. As well as, I will present the result as basic database of sound environment improvement experiment of indoor gymnasium.

The vehicle's waning sounds are used for the purpose of informing the specific situation to the driver. In the past, the warning sounds were developed in terms of a simple notification. With the increasing importance of the emotional quality of vehicle, the research in terms of sound quality has been actively conducted. The desired sounds are dependent upon customer expectation and usage requirements. And it based on cultural or regional difference and personal preference. In this paper, the preference study considering the sale region and personal preference is introduced. Jury test for subjective evaluation are carried out and the difference in preference is analyzed.

In our previous study, we have developed sound quality index for steady rumbling sound of passenger car. In this paper, we will study sound quality index for transient rumbling noise. The subjective evaluation of rumbling sound can be indicated to objective parameters by sound metrics of psychoacoustics and principal rumble component. And artificial neural network can be estimated complexity and nonlinear characteristics of relation between subjective evaluation and sound metrics. We applied to sound metrics and artificial neural network to development of sound quality index for transient rumbling sound of passenger car.

The purpose of this study is to identify the significant sound quality metric and compose the sound quality index of motor driven roller blind which is part of vehicle sunroof. Before subjective evaluation, sound characteristics of roller blind was analyzed and set the target operating sound for subjective evaluation. Thus, transfer sound of roller blind which has the characteristics of sound modulation was used for subjective evaluation. Linear regression was carried out by chosen Zwicker's metrics which are pointed by comments of jurors. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are prime metrics in sound quality index we composed. Effect of roller blind assay when it is attached to real vehicle was identified to evaluate the validity of index.
