The purpose of this study is to obtain the basic data of existing light-weight Drywall through the evaluation and analysis of the light-weight drywall in reverberation chamber and to improve sound insulation performance of drywalls. Sound transmission loss of the total 11 types were analyzed in each frequency a-third octave band and evaluated sound insulation performance for each frequency. From data by analysis and calculation, STC value plotted on STC contour. We found that the improved light-weight drywall specimens ⓑ, ⓒ and ⓖ were satisfied with the domestic standard of sound transmission loss.

This paper investigates the characteristics of analytical models in prediction of sound transmission loss for the multi-layered panels with high density mineral wools. The results show that the sandwich model is more adequate to account for sound insulation performance of those panels than the poro-elastic model. In order to improve STC(Sound Transmission Class), the effect of fiber directions of mineral wools is examined, analytically and experimentally. From the comparison of the measurements with the predictions, it is evident that the vertical fiber directions of mineral wools enhance STC value up to 6 dB, compared to that of the horizontal fiber directions.

In the case of the front door of the apartment, which functions as an entrance, the study about noise has been less active than corridor type plane in the past, since stair room type plane was generalized. Hence, this study shows the survey about residents' thoughts of noise transmission through the front door, and after researching sound insulation of the present apartments, we figured out what the problem is. Moreover, we did an efficiency test as developing the front door, which increases sound insulation. As a result, it turned out that residents think that the noise transmission through the front door is as serious as floor impact noise, and also, the efficiency of the front door is as poor as STC 22-30. Therefore, in the developed front door, we should improve the efficiency to the level of STCSS. It will be a good way preparing for a demand of residents.

In USA and UK, the standards of both reverberation time and background noise level have been established for the appropriate aural environment in classrooms. In order to realize this, guidelines for architectural planning and interior finishing have been also suggested. However, in Korea, there has hardly been any guidelines for satisfying background noise criteria and investigation about sound insulation performance of current walls of classrooms. The present study investigates the structure of outer wall and walls between classrooms of two middle schools in order to analyze the sound insulation performance against both exterior and interior noises. Acoustic parameters including transmission loss, standardized sound level difference, and signal to noise ratio have been measured and analyzed for sound insulation performance of walls and flanking noises. As a result, concerning the walls in between classrooms, it was found that walls of dry construction have greater sound insulation performance rather than the walls of wet construction especially in mid and high frequency bands. Also, It was revealed that thermopane, insulated pair glass, of outer walls, has greater sound insulation performance than the double window consisted of two single pane glass. Regarding flanking noises, the standards were exceeded when all windows, or windows and doors front onto corridor were opened. It denotes that students could be disturbed with the sound transmission by the interior noises.

건설 공사장에서 발생하는 건설장비의 소음을 저감하여 공사장 인근 지역의 생활환경에 미치는 소음영향을 최소화할 수 있도록 건설업체에서는 최대한의 노력으로 가설방음벽을 설치 운영하고 있으나, 설치된 가설방음벽의 효과분석 및 운영방법에 대한 검토가 부족하여 효율적인 소음저감대책으로서의 가설방음벽 운영이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 가설방음벽의 기초데이터의 확보와 소음해석을 통한 효율적인 운영방안을 제시하며, 설치기준에 관한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
