High level of tractor noise may reduce operator's work performance and cause a hearing problem. This study was carried out to investigate the cab noise of a selected agricultural tractor. The noise was measured and analyzed in terms of sound and sound intensity levels. Form the results it was known that a structure-born noise was induced from the feet-rest and rear floor panel of the cab. The air-borne noise caused mainly by the engine was transmitted into the operator's position through the small openings of cab structures in the operator's lower front area.

Shell vibrations of the rotary compressor, which account for considerable portion of the noise from compressor, are caused by various sources. Among them is the vibration of the in nor part or cylinder assembly, which undergoes severe compression process and rotational motion. But little researches have been carried out about the behavior and effect of the inner part because of its structural complexity. Furthermore, the shell of the rotary compressor is hermetic type that experimental approach is very difficult. This research studied the structure-born noise of the Rotary compressor using FE an analysis. The comparison between sound pressure spectrum and natural frequencies of the shell vibration implies that shell vibrations contribute significantly to the noise. It is found that inner part vibrations are responsible for those through the FE analysis. Design modification of the inner part, which shifts the target frequencies, reduced overall noise level of the compressor.

Noise complaints among neighbors in apartment building are mainly caused by floor impact noise that is structure born noise due to occupant induced floor vibration. To control this noise problems many researchers have investigated floor systems and finishing materials. Light-weight impact noise affects by finishing materials, but heavy-weight impact noise induced by heel impacts during normal walking or jumping of children is concerned with structural system and floor vibration. To figure out the characteristics of floor impact noise and transmission of floor vibration due to human activities, vibration tests were conducted in apartment buildings. Impact hammer, heel drop and walking activities were loaded at center of upstairs living room, and accelerations of slabs for both upstairs and downstairs and sound pressure levels for downstairs were measured. The acceleration ratio of transmitted floor vibration to downstairs and human induced vibration in upstairs was between 0.5 and 1.0 according to slab size, wall, and load type. And floor impact noise occurred in the range of natural frequency of slab.

In the present study, the influence of car body structures to the noise and vibration characteristics has been sought. The numerical modal analysis for the body-in-white is employed to predict the vibratory response of structure, and then followed by the experimental modal testing to confirm the validity of the model. Using the results of numerical simulations with the designated modal parameters, the optimal structural configuration has been deduced. Special interests have been paid to the sensitivity of sound quality to the structural integrity. Since the structural integrity has a close relationship to the structure-born noise, the substantially low frequency range, which is far below the frequency range almost barely sensible by human auditory organ but still quite influential to overall impression, is especially examined. The subjective assessment agrees with the objective evaluation by means of traditional sound measures as well as psychoacoustic metrics.

As high performance and high speed have been accomplished by technology of optical disk drive. optical disk drives have gradually high percentage of the market share in market of storage devices. This technology helps to improve the quality of record/reproduction. However, simultaneously it causes various problems in the structural aspect and increases noise largely. Especially at high speed, dominant noise is more influenced by fluid noise than by structure-borne noise. The purpose of this study is that reduce the air-born noise in optical disk drive as it decreases a quantity of flow by using a micro muffler. The micro muffler is a miniaturized muffler. The muffler is used widely by solution to reduce air-borne noise which is generated by flow. According to frequency band of the noise source, it can be applied by muffler of various forms. In this study, we examined the acoustic characteristics of the micro muffler and applied it to reduction of the ODD noise. It could get an excellent noise reduction in high frequency band through the decrease of an inner flow. But it could not get a noise reduction in low frequency band.

Driving of the engine makes unbalance forces which induces vibration to the engine mount system. Active vibration control must be performed to reduce the vibration and the propagation of structure-born sound. In this study, the engine system is modeled as 3-dim. vibration system including flexible structures and an effective active noise control method is proposed. Also, appropriate actuator and sensor locations and types are selected. The miniature of the engine vibration system with multi-input multi-output is built and an active vibration control with multiple filtered-X LMS algorithm is applied to it. The applied control method was effective to reduce the transmitted vibration power through the rubber mount It showed the feasibility of the control of the engine vibration systems with flexible structures.

Vibration caused by railroad vehicle including subway train running raises a lot of problems to the neighboring buildings. Therefore lots of methods to isolate the railway vibration have been studied and practically applied to sites. As one of them, specially designed vibration isolation device was installed in the some section of Seoul subway. This device is installed between the rail and track slab. Because the process of installation is relatively simple, this method can be applied to the existing railways in servicing. We measured the vibration and noise to check the effectiveness of this device before and after the installation. The result showed that the vibration level of the slab and platform was reduced to 7 - 10 dB. Expecially high frequency component was reduced to a large amount. From this result, we can conclude that these kind of devices are useful to the reduction of the railroad vibration, expecially the high frequency vibration which can cause structure born noise.

아파트의 층간소음저감을 위한 다양한 기술이 개발되고 있다. 콘크리트 건물의 단일층을 경계로 한 소음저감을 위한 공기음의 투과손실을 증가하는 방법이 주로 적용되고 있으나, 철골조 초고층아파트 스포츠 시설 운영시 이에 대한 대책으로 공기음의 대책과 구조음의 대책을 두단계에 걸쳐 수립하였다. 초고층 아파트 내부에 스포츠 시설의 배치는 이를 이용하는 사용자에게 편리성의 주지만 철골조의 특성상 충격성 진동원이 발생하는 스포츠 시설은 상하부층인 아파트에 소음진동의 연향으로 인해 이를 방지하는 설계가 요구된다. 일반적인 아파트의 충간 소음진동문제는 이를 발생시키는 상부거주자의 예절과 충간 소음진동 저감 기술이지만 아파트내부의 동일층을 경계로 위치한 스포츠 시설은 시설의 사용성에 반해 하부층에 미치는 영향을 기술적으로 저감하여야 한다. 입주한 초고층아파트의 스포츠 시설에서 발생하는 소음진동 민원문제를 풀기 위하여, 하부층 민원인이 느끼지 못하는 수준의 소음과 진동 허용치를 상호 결정하고 이를 만족하기 위한 차음 및 구조소음 설계를 수행한 사례이다.

To reduce the structure-born sound by floor impact source in an apartment building, it is necessary to identify the relationship between floor impact sound and vibration. Various impact sources which were made by a bang machine and an impact ball were used for measurement of impact sound and vibration. The experimental results show that the linear relationship between floor impact sound and vibration was in existence despite of various floor impact sources.

Sub-frame is a key component to damp the vibration of engine-born and isolate the input force from a ground. To enhance the performance of the sub-frame of vehicle, its structure should be designed to be a high performing mechanical filter that exclude the low frequency vibration elements. In this paper, a contribution analysis based on the frequency response function(FRF) is introduced to detect a high sensitive position of the target sub-frame and its results are validated with a SDM(structural dynamic modification) analysis.
