Numerical analysis was performed to investigate the heavy-weight impact noise of apartment houses. The FEM is practical method for prediction of low-frequency indoor noise. The results of numerical analysis, the shape of the acoustic modes in room-2 are similar to that of acoustic pressure field at the fundamental frequency of acoustic modes. And the acoustic pressure was amplified at the natural frequency of the acoustic modes and structural modes. The numerical analysis result of sound pressure level at 63 Hz and 125 Hz octave-band center frequency are similar to the test results, but at 250 Hz and 500 Hz have some errors. Considering most of bang-machine force spectrum exists below 100 Hz, the noise at 250 Hz and 500 Hz are not important for heavy-weight impact noise. Thus, the FEM numerical analysis method for heavy-weight impact noise can apply to estimate heavy-weight impact noise for various building systems.

A Rijke tube which has an electric heater and a flow controller was designed and thermo-acoustic instability was induced by the Rijke tube. The thermo-acoustic instability was damped by a resonator and the damping characteristics were investigated and compared to room temperature acoustic test. Results show that decay time of the thermo-acoustic condition was increased by about 40% compared to that of room temperature acoustic test.

Measurements of RT, EDT, $D_{50}$, $C_{50}$ and STI carried out in three different unoccupied University classrooms. For acoustic measurements, various sound sources are used (white noise, pistol shot, MLS and sweep signal). In this study, It found that interaction exists between sound source and place. Also there was high correlation between STI and various acoustic parameter.

The present article evaluates a performance hall, which improves sound efficiency. In general, the sidewall of the music hall is plane circle. thus there happens a focus phenomenon. To overcome it. the music hall improves its sound efficiency by making its sidewall irregular. After measuring impulse response from the performance hall, evaluation indices on the temporal distribution of sound energy such as RT, EDT, D50, C80, RASTI and BR were obtained, and based on them, indoor acoustic characteristics and the generation of echoes were determined. According to the results, evaluation indices showed that the acoustic condition was satisfactory in general. This study is to provide fundamental data for acoustic design of music hall with round form by analyzing the room acoustic characteristics of music hall.

The purpose of this research is furnishing of basic material for acoustic planning hereafter, after understanding the acoustic merits and demerits through measuring and analyzing on room acoustic of small performance hall. As the result of the measurement, those physical evaluation indexes such as SPL, RT, EDT, $D_{50}$, $C_{80}$, RASTI have being kept the satisfiable acoustic condition for the service of performance hall. Therefore, as small performance hall is regarded as equipped with sufficient volume of sound, reverberatory feeling and diffusive feeling, it judges as an excellent performance place, also it is considered that it could be utilized as a useful material when design so similar performance hall, hereafter.

Recently, two reverberation rooms were built up of 300mm thick concrete walls in non-parallel pentagonal shape to measure the sound absorption, transmission, radiation, and impact insulation of acoustical materials, panels, doors, etc. Various acoustic tests, including the sound transmission test, were carried out to investigate their acoustic performances. In order to improve the performance, several modifications on these acoustical parameters, such as the acoustic mode, the position of specimen, the formation of diffuse field, the location of sound source, and flanking transmission, have been conducted. Through a series of tests, the reverberation rooms have been effectively improved so that it could perform a variety of acoustic tests with the international standard. And then, it is expected to be very helpful in developing the low noise design technology for ships.

The aim of this study is to provide fundamental data for acoustic design by analyzing the room acoustic characteristics according to the PA system used in the school gymnasium. The measurements were carried out accordance with the ISO 3382. The sources used in this study were four types; omni-directional, centralized, distribution, the combination of centralized and distribution sound source system. Omni-directional system is recommended by ISO for the acoustic test and the others are installed on the wall, column and ceiling in the school gymnasium for sound reinforcement.

In case of the hydraulic turbine dynamo room at Dam, due to its big volume and reflexible finishing material, since the noise of electricity-generation is amplifying, it influences the difficulty of mutual communication among the workers, also it is causing both mental and physical damages to those workers in the neighboring office. Accordingly, after presentation of the optimized renovation model of the hydraulic turbine dynamo room using the acoustic simulation, this Research has compared and evaluated them using the auralizational technique between the present condition of "before improvement" and the acoustic condition of "after improvement". As the result of psycho-acoustics experiment, as the acoustic conditions at both "before & after Improvement" were apparently compared, it appeared that there is a considerable amount of noise-reduction effect at psycho-acoustics. It is considered that such material could be utilized as the valuable data hereafter for the time when any construction and renovation of the hydraulic turbine dynamo room and other similar workshop.

Various room acoustic parameters and their optimal values were proposed and verified as proper interpretations to the listeners' preference of concert hall sounds. However the listening environment has been changed since they were developed, and the listeners' preference may not be the same among countries of different cultural backgrounds. Actual listeners' preference should be applied to the design of a new concert hall. A survey on the listening preference was carried out for 22 music experts. A room acoustical design process was proposed which made the acoustical environment of a concert hall as close to the listeners' preferences.

In stereo acoustic echo canceller scheme, coefficients of adaptive filter converge very slowly or misconverge to real acoustic echo path in receiving room. This is due to cross-correlation in stereo signals. In this paper, a new preprocess algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of stereo AEC(acoustic echo canceller) without computational burden. The proposed algorithm reduces cross-correlation using Gram-Schmidt orthogonality principles and nonlinear filtering. Computer simulations demonstrate that this algorithm performs well compared to conventional ones. When the acoustic path of transmitting room is changed, stereo AEC using proposed algorithm is well performed.
