The purpose of this study is to suggest the correlation of single-number ratings for sound insulation by floor impact. As a assessment method of impact sound insulation. we selected the IIC contour of ISO, A weighted sound level. Inverse A-weighting curve and L-Index of japanese industrial standard. And we estimated the single-number ratings by application the measured data of impact sound level to each method. The results showed that the coefficients of determination between each two single-number ratings were very high (more than 0.9169). And In the condition of same assessment method, the coefficient of determination for light-weight impact sound was higher than that for heavy-weight impact sound.

Recently, the audible sound level of power transformer has been reduced due to development of new material and enhancement of manufacturing technology. There is lack of research on the audible sound of winding and cooling fan because the research on reduction of audible sound is concentrated on the core sound. Therefore this paper describes 3 kinds(core, winding and cooling fan) of transformer sound source. Also this paper analyzes the effect of load sound and cooling fan sound on the total transformer sounds. As the results, total sound level of 79dBA class transformer rises 0.2～0.3dB due to effect of load sound and rises 2.1～3.5dB due to effect of cooling fan sound. Also, total sound level of 55dBA class transformer rises 2.3～2.9dB due to effect of load sound and rises 1.9～3.5dB due to effect of cooling fan sound.

Purpose: The balcony in the apartment is important space not only as a fire escape but also as a buffer for heat and sound insulation. However, with the legalization of balcony expansion for residential apartments in Korea in 2006, many households have eliminated the balcony space altogether to increase the inner space, often without sufficient consideration for the effects on the indoor environment. This study examined the sound insulation performance of exterior-facing windows in enclosed balconies and the changes in the indoor acoustic environment due to expansion to provide a basis for appropriate balcony expansion. The apartments for the field test were chosen where two balcony types can be compared, and the sound insulation performance for the eighteen balcony windows was measured. The windows installed were typical double window with thickness 16 mm or 22 mm. Measurements of the weighted standard sound pressure level difference showed a decrease of about 3 dB in sound insulation performance due to expansion. For common exterior noise levels of 70-85 dB(A), the indoor noise level can exceed 45 dB(A), the limit level regulated in Korea. However, it was found that the sound insulation performance of the window and the quality of the construction have more influence on indoor noise levels than balcony expansion itself.

This paper describes an algorithm that calculates Absolute Sound Level (ASL) for contents platform. ASL is a single volume representing individual sound sources and is a concept designed to integrate and utilize the sound level units in digital sound source and physical domain from a speaker in practical areas. For this concept to be used in content platforms and others, it is necessary to automatically derive the ASL without having to go through a hearing of mastering engineers. The key parameters of which a person recognizes the representative sound level of an individual single sound source are the areas of "frequency, maximum energy, energy variation coefficient, and perceived energy distribution," and the ASL was calculated through the normalizing of the weights.

The objective of this study is to investigate experimentally the effect of surface conditions of the plate on the impinging jet noise. The experimental results about the spectrum, the sound pressure level and the directivity are pressented and discussed in relation with the surface conditions. Regardless of the surface conditions, the pure tones of high level are generated at the same frequency band and the overall sound power level of impinging jets is much higher than that of the free jet. However, the velocity dependence of the sound pressure level and the directivity are different between smooth surfaces and rough surfaces. The dependence of sound pressure level on the jet velocity shows that the smooth surface generates quadrupole-type sound like free jets. However, the perforated or the rough surface radiates sound power exactly proportional to the sixth power of the jet velocity, indicating that the source is fixed dipole type. The directivities of 1/3 octave band sound pressure level for both the free and impinging jet show the peak directivity at 115$^\circ$ upstream, probably due to the refraction associated with velocity gradient.

Recently the impact sound insulation performance is regarded as one of the most import factors in determining the quality of housing environment. In order to reduce the impact sound level transmitted through the floors and structures, establishing the standard level of impact sound insulation performance is needed. In this consideration, The effecting facts for the standard insulation level is reviewed.

The people who are in the noise factory are difficult to hear and recognize about fire and to evacuate quickly when a fire occurs. This study was conducted to analyze workplace's background noise of 31 factories in Incheon and to know the workplace noise level comparing to fire alarm sound level. The measured average noise level was 96.8dB(A). Noise level of measured result was exceeded as 6.8dB(A) comparing to NFSC (National Fire Safety Code) noise level of 90dB. NFPA suggests that when background noise exceeds 85dB or more than that, other methods should be considered to know alarm sound. Also fire alarm sound should exceed more than 15dB(A) comparing to background noise level. Therefore it was concluded that the design of the fire alarm systems should not be applied to the workplace without considering background noise and it needs to be improved with regulations and the systems.

This treatise measures and estimate sound insulation performance of apartment house. Sound insulation performance measured to the floor and wall. Measurement object is apartment occupancy ago of 100㎡ scale built to higher story in Taegu city. Floor Slav's light impact sound level interception performance interacted by benevolent person who carrying out availability of finish material important. Floor Slav's heavy impact sound level interception performance amounted estimation by being good more or less then light impact sound level interception performance. Because sound insulation performance of partition between adjoined generation is gad seldom, privacy infringement becomes anticipation. There was discussion about these results, and presented various kinds future research task to prove sound insulation performance of apartment house.

The heavy-weight floor impact sound field of the receiving room in a testing building with bearing wall structure was investigated using bang machine and impact ball. The sound field was investigated through the impact sound pressure level distribution by the field measurement and computational analysis. Predicted sound field using the computational analysis agree with measurement result in the low frequency band. Result shows that standard deviations of the single number rating value are about 2dB in each impact source. Particularly, impact sound pressure level at 120cm height in 63Hz octave band was 5dB lower than spatial averaging value. It was found that receiving positions in the ministry of construction and transportation notice should be reconsidered.

Machines installed in various structures emit airborne sound and structureborne sound and are major source of noise and vibration. Especially when machines are installed upon a flexible foundation, most of noise and vibration are due to transmission of structureborne sound. Therefore, characterization and measurement of structureborne sound source level are necessary for controlling noise and vibration. But structureborne sound from vibrating machine is strongly coupled to the supportingstructure. This paper proposes the method of estimating the supporting sturcture's dynamic character- istic and structureborne sound source level for machine installed system without separating the machine, resilient mount and foundation.
