Standard sound source currently used in heavy-weight floor impact sounds that cause many social problems has excessive low-frequency energy within a range from 63 Hz to 125 Hz, and is difficult to evaluate and measure. To solve these problems, studies are widely performed using a new impact source, the impact ball. In this study, the sound fields in a receiving room were compared and analyzed according to the current impact source, the bang machine, and the impact ball. And deviation of sound pressure level according to the impact source positions were compared. In case of impact ball, the sound pressure level was lower at 63 Hz and below and higher at 125 Hz and above. The same trend was observed at the low-frequency range on the horizontal and vertical planes, regardless of the type of the impact source, which showed the influence of the room mode. There was a problem with the variations in the sound pressure level according to the size or shape of the receiving room. And it also shows that change of source positions may effect the single number rating scheme.

A theoretical model has been developed to analyze the jet-edge interaction and the sound radiation. The edge responding to the sinuous impinging jet is regarded as an array of dipoles and their strength is determined by the boundary condition on the edge surface. The surface pressure distribution and the edgeforce are estimated using these dipoles. Then the pressure amplitude and directivity of the sound field is obtained by summing the radiating sounds from the dipole sources. It is found that the effective source is located a little distance downstream from the edge tip. And the directivity of the sound radiation is cardioid pattern near the edge but dipole pattern far from the edge. The theoretical model is confirmed by comparing the theoretical prediction of the edgeforce and sound pressure level with available experimental data.

음상의 거리정위에 있어서 중요한 물리적 요인으로는 알려진 음압레벨, 반사음, 양 귀간 차, 음원의 종류, 머리전달함수(HRTF) 등의 여러 요인들이 중요한 판단 자료로 이용되어진다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 거리판단에 사용되어지는 물리적 요인 중 음압레벨의 크기가 거리정위에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 반사음이 존재하지 않은 무향실에서 음원의 출력 음압레벨을 일정한 경우와 귀 입력 음압레벨을 일정하게 한 경우에 대하여 청취실험을 통해 거리판단에 있어서 음압레벨의 영향에 대하여 고찰했다. 그 결과. 음원출력 음압레벨을 일정하게 한 경우와 귀 입력 음압레벨을 일정하게 한 청취실험에 있어서 제시한 음원거리보다 지각한 음상거리를 가깝게 정위하는 경향이 있다는 것이 관찰되었다. 또, 귀 입력 음압레벨이 일정한 경우에는 약 2m 정도까지의 거리에서는 실제 제시한 음원거리의 증가에 따라 지각한 음상의 거리가 음원거리에 대응하여 증가하지만, 그 이상의 거리에서는 음원거리의 증가에 따라 지각한 음상거리가 증가가 거의 없음을 알 수 있었다. 반면 음원출력 음압레벨이 일정한 경우에는 지각한 음상거리가 귀 입력 음압레벨이 일정한 경우보다 보다 더 먼 3m 정도의 거리까지 증가하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 청취실험 결과로부터 반사음이 존재하지 않은 조건에서의 음상의 거리정위에는 음압레벨이 거리판단의 중요한 요소로 작용하고 있음이 확인되었다.

In this study, we compared and analyzed the floor impact sound insulation performance produced by the rating methods. The rating methods are using reversed A-weighting curve, A-weighted sound pressure levels and arithmetic average. On-site floor impact sound pressure levels of living room and room are measured. The results of this study are 1)the rating using reversed A-weighting curve for heavy-weight impact sound's standard deviation is lower than that of light-weight impact sound, 2)the number of rating using A-weighted sound pressure levels and arithmetic average is larger than that of using reversed A-weighting curve, and 3)the number of rating using reversed A-weighting curve mainly depends on impact sound pressure level of 63Hz in heavy-weight impact sound.

As the noise of ship engine room is too loud, the engineer who works in a ship engine-room has the trouble of hearing. In this paper deals the investigation of the noise of ship engine room and cabins with the internationally allowable noise exposure level and noise exposure time. Recently, the problem of engine-room noise is more serious because of shipowner wants to make small number and larger size of cylinder. Therefore, engineers work in a ship engine-room for a long time have the trouble of hearing when they are exposed the high noise level. In this study, two kinds of vessels were used to investigate the noise of engine room, engine-control room, bridge, offices and cabins. As criteria of sound levels, A-weighted sound pressure level and octave band pressure level were used.

In order to find out impact insulation properties, various types of current radiant floor heating systems and light-framed floors that are used in light-framed residential buildings were evaluated for two types of impact sources at the same time. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) was different from each impact sources for those spectrum patterns and peaks. In case of light-framed floor framework, the excitation position and the assumed effective vibrating area have effects on sound pressure level but it is not considerable, and Normalized SPL was reduced for each frequency by increasing the bending rigidity of joist. The mortar layer in the radiant heating system had relatively high density and high impedance, therefore, it distributed much of the impact power when it was excited, and reduced the Normalized SPL considerably. Nevertheless, Increasing a thickness of mortar layer had little influence on SPL. Ceiling components reduced the sound pressure level about 5~25 dB for each frequency. Namely, it had excellent sound insulation properties in a range from 200 to 4,000 Hz frequency for both heavy and lightweight impact sources. Also, there was a somewhat regular sound insulation pattern for each center frequency. The resilient channel reduced the SPL about 2~11 dB, irrelevant to impact source. Consequently, current radiant floor heating systems which were established in light-framed residential buildings have quite good impact sound insulation properties for both impact sources.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was carried out to investigate exhaust gas flow and acoustic characteristics in the exhaust system of a passenger car. Transient 3-dimensional flow field in the front and rear mufflers was simulated by CFD and far-field sound pressure was modeled by a simple monopole source method. Engine performance simulation was also performed to obtain the boundary condition of instantaneous fluid flow variation at the inlet of the exhaust system. Detailed exhaust gas flow characteristics such as velocity and pressure distribution inside the mufflers were presented and the pulsating pressure amplitude was compared at several positions in the exhaust system to deduce sound pressure level. The present method of the acoustic analysis coupled with CFD techniques would be very effective for the prediction of sound noise from vehicle exhaust systems although the effects of the inlet boundary condition and heat transfer on the accuracy of the prediction have to be validated through further studies.

Booming sound is one of the most important interior sound of a passenger car. The conventional booming noise research was focused on the reduction of the A-weighted sound pressure level. However A-weighted sound pressure level cannot give the whole story about the booming sound of a passenger car. In this paper, we employed sound metrics, which are the subjective parameters, used in psycoacoustics. According to recent research results. the relation between sound metrics and subjective evaluation is very complex and has nonlinear characteristics. In order to estimate this nonlinear relationship, artificial neural network theory has been applied to derivation of sound quality index for booming sound of a passenger car.

Noises from ceiling mounted air-conditioning units were recorded in various actual situations such as offices, classrooms and libraries. Eight specimens of air-conditioners from major domestic and foreign manufacturers' were investigated in this study. A head and torso simulator was located 1.5 m beneath the air-conditioner panel for the measurements and sound pressure levels of the recording sounds were varied from 28 to 55 dBA with 3 dB steps for subjective evaluations. A total of 88 stimuli was randomly presented to subjects using a headphone system in semi-anechoic chamber. Two-categorized (noisiness and amenity) nine-point scale was used as evaluation method. The third scale ('point 3') among the nine-point scale was set as the threshold of allowable level of the air-conditioning sounds in consideration of the real situations. The results indicate that the allowable sound pressure level is around 34 dBA for both noisiness and amenity categories.
