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.

Generally, noise in a reciprocating compressor is attributed to the driving force of a pump. However, close examination shows that the noise heard by customers finally results from radiation of a shell in a compressor, the noise caused by both transmission through a shell and resonance with the natural frequency of a shell. Therefore, the peak frequencies contributing to the overall level of a compressor' noise are closely concerned with vibration of a shell. That's why radiated noise by vibration can be reduced by changing the mode of a shell and by shifting the peak frequencies to other ranges, which are not globally related with the overall noise level. In this paper, the main peak frequencies are analyzed to reduce the radiated noise of a shell, and the vibration characteristics of a shell are examined through Frequency Response Function and Finite Element Analysis. Moreover, the Operational Deflection Shape for a shell is measured with consideration of real driving force of a pump. Finally, the optimum position on a shell, closely related to the main peak frequencies, is found, and the overall noise level caused by radiated noise of a shell is noticeably reduced by mass or stiffness modification of the position.

A solution procedure of vibration and radiated noise of the plate covered with damping material has been studied. To predict the vibration level and the radiated noise level of the plate covered with damping material, FEM and BEM have been utilized, respectively. A property of damping material has been measured by using a composite beam. Two different kinds of measuring procedure for the composite beam have been introduced by comparing its characteristics. The numerical prediction of vibration level of the Plate covered with damping material has been proved with experimental data.

The vibration generated by the machinery on board is transmitted to the hull and into the water. At the early design stage, the prediction of the hull vibration and the radiated noise level is very important to reduce their levels. In this study, SAE(Statistical Energy Analysis) technique is applied to predict structureborne noise level of the hull considering fluid loading. Rayleigh integral is applied to predict the radiated noise level. The results of comparision between the predictions and measurements for the reinforced cylindrical shell have shown good agreements.

The noise level of refrigerating units is becoming more important to the manufacturer and the user of the product. Invariably, the compressor is a significant contributor to the overall noise level. Especially a major portion of the noise radiated by the vibration of the compressor shell. This paper presents an approach to relate the dynamic characteristics of the compressor shell with the noise radiation properties and the methods of redesigning the compressor shell to reduce the noise radiation. To relate the dynamic characteristics of the compressor shell with the noise radiation properties, the vibration and radiated sound were measured with the running compressor. Based on the results of these tests correlations between the shell vibration characteristics and the noise radiation properties are identified It was found that the vibration on the compressor shell and the noise radiated from the compressor were stronglycorrelatedincertainfrequencybands.

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.

Unit cabin means room, which is installed in the high value ship such as drill ship and FPSO, after pre-assembled. In order to develop the noise control design for a unit cabin, a variety of acoustic tests such as sound absorption, transmission, and radiated noise measurements were carried out by using the mock-up of living quarter. From the tests, it was found out that the combined noise level of a unit cabin could be dominated by the radiated noise from wall panel in low frequency range and the design guidelines for the noise control of unit cabin were fully established, such as the improvement of sound transmission loss between the cabin and corridor, and radiated cabin noise reduction.

In this study, a numerical estimation method for 3D underwater radiated noise pattern using hull vibration and total acoustic power of the vibrating structure in the far-field is proposed. The underwater radiated noise pattern is known to be predicted using the vibration signals and radiation efficiency of each surface patch. But it is very difficult to know radiation efficiency of each surface patch which is one of important factors to calculate the 3D underwater radiated noise pattern. Instead of using radiation efficiency of each patch, the underwater radiated noise level is modified with the total acoustic power of the vibrating structure. The suggested estimation method for underwater radiated noise pattern is discussed with numerical model.

For the satisfaction of the high engine performance and the low radiated sound pressure simultaneously, the duct length in the vehicle intake/exhaust system should be tuned carefully in the design and development stage of a vehicle. This study was concerned about the effects of intake duct length in clean and dirty sides on the radiated sound emitted from an inlet. An index derived from the existing prediction model of radiated sound pressure was employed to determine which duct was more influential to the radiated sound. Comparing the experimental and predicted results, we found that the change of dirty-side duct length caused a larger change than that in the clean side in the radiated sound level from a tested intake system.

Speed-up and mass reduction of railway vehicle usually causes increased of the interior noise. One of the best ways to control the interior noise is to identify the noise level radiated from each of parts in the cabin. In this paper, we describe the method to estimate the interior noise nad evaluate the noise contribution to each of parts. This method is based that the sound pressure can be calculated by using the frequency response function and acceleration. According to analysis of the noise contribution, we validated that the noise radiated from the floor is the higher in the cabin. We also measured the noise distribution for the side and floor by using the microphone array in order to analyze the effect of the noise flowing into the cabin from the outdoors. Finally, we presented the plan of the interior noise reduction based on the noise levels radiated from each of parts.
