An air-conditioner has various noise sources such as a fan noise, a motor noise, and a vibration induced noise. To reduce these noise effectively, noise sources must be identified. Especially in this paper, the structure borne sound radiated from the motor bracket of the indoor air-conditioner is considered. To do this, the operational deflection shape, which is used for understanding of the behavior of the motor bracket at a particular frequency, is obtained and compared with the sound intensity, which is used for the noise identification. Through this study, the noise sources of indoor air-conditioner are defined and the effective noise reduction method is proposed.

In this paper, it is presented that the effect of air gap insertion in testing the transmission loss of sound barrier using structural vibration system. In this study, we use the APAMAT based on the structure-borne-noise. The measured results show that air gap insertion improves transmission loss as results of test based on the air-borne-noise. The measured results are compared with the predicted transmission loss using the transfer matrix method. The predicted results were found to be in reasonable agreement with measured results.

The structure borne sound is one of the most important factor in building acoustics. Nevertheless, there is not yet sufficient knowledge to predict its behavior in preparing the acoustical design of a building. We are concerned with the concrete floating floor construction, which is one of the most promising ways to control floor impact sound. This study is to develop floating screeds isolated from the conventional concrete floor structures, to improve the concrete floor systems for the purpose of the good sound insulation performance which protects the propagation of the structure borne sound. Floor impact sound in many apartment house buildings and developed floating floors was measured, and we can save many floor impact sound data.

A modeling is developed to predict the isolation performance of sound barrier systems under the sound pressure radiated from excited by point impact. The predicted results are compared with the measured results obtained by using APAMAT II. This instrument provides a combination of structure-borne noise and air-borne noise, which corresponds to rolling noise, by applying the excitation system projected steel balls against the steel sheet.

Floating floors, which are mainly used for reducing interior noise levels of railway vehicle, are known to be superior to single structure in respect to sound transmission loss and vibration reduction performances. The stiffness of isolator is one of the important design variables in floating floors. From modal tests, modal properties of underframe, top floor and isolators are derived. They are used as input parameters for predicting structure-borne noise using AUTOSEA.

Whenever a noise problem of a product is concerned, a first step is to identify the energy transmission path whether it is an air-borne or a structure-borne. Depending on the characteristic of the noise path, tools on the noise reduction are different. In this paper. an important aspect of the “mass law” in a noise transmission has been investigated. Since an air-borne has 20 dB/Decade, and a structure-borne 10 dB/Decade of a sound transmission loss due to a mass, an engineer who aims to have a light product design should have an enough knowledge on the mass law, especially, the sensitivity of the weight itself. A honeycomb plate is examined as a sample of a light structure to implement a mass law.

A comparison between theoretical and measured transfer function, which relates structure-borne noise source level to underwater radiated noise, of a naval ship is presented in this study. Transfer functions are obtained by dividing far field underwater noise by the value of structure borne noise source levels below machinery mounts. In prediction, statistical energy analysis of the whole ship structure is used to get vibration levels of wetted hull plates below water line. Then, far field radiated noise is calculated by summing up contributions from each plates using vibration levels and radiation efficiencies. And 1/3-octave band underwater sound pressure at the distance of 1 m away from the hull were measured to get experimental transfer functions. The two transfer functions are compared to show resonable agreements in spite of the subtle physical differences between each other.
