사람이 소리를 듣는 것은 다분히 감정적이고 주관적으로 이루어진다. 따라서 소음 측정의 척도로 주로 사용되는 dB(A)와 같은 청감을 고려한 수치로 표현하기 어렵기 때문에 때와 장소, 차량에 따라 주관적이고 사람의 감정에 맞는 주관적 척도가 요구된다. 즉, 평가하고자 하는 음질인자 항목들은 독립적 관계가 아닌 서로 상관관계의 특성을 고려하여 음질 평가를 수행해야 한다. 그러므로 인간의 청감에 가깝고 정확한 음질 평가를 위해서는 음질인자 별 다변량 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 차량 주행 소음을 대상으로 특성인자간 상관관계를 고려해 시스템을 분석할 수 있는 마할라노비스 거리(Mahalanobis distance,MD)를 통해 음질 인덱스를 구축하고자 한다.

This paper presents the psychoacoustic analyses on the vehicle interior, noise generated when accelerating. Following the objective quantification for vehicle noises of different classes, the subjective decision process by the jury test is adopted to interrelate these results based on two different approaches. In particular, the paired comparison method is employed in assessing the sound quality in terms of the quietness, the powerfulness, and the pleasantness of the human auditory sensation. Special attention is paid to the physical interpretation of psychoacoutic parameters and their interrelation to the subjective assessment scores. In order to ensure the integrity of statistics of the survey, various tests are performed. The results show that the consistency of the "quiet" sensation is far higher than that of the "powerful" and the "pleasant" sensations. Also, it is found that the most significant parameter determining these feelings turns out to be the inherent loudness of the noise instead of the conventional indicators such as the weighted sound pressure level. It may be concluded that the psychoacoustic analysis offers more realistic evaluation for vehicle noise and assists the improvement of NVH more efficiently.ement of NVH more efficiently.

In this study, there is an investigation about the sound quality of automotive horn that attached to luxury sedans. In order to define a questionnaire of horn sound quality the factor analysis is conducted. Ten automotive horns are selected for this research and ten passenger cars(nine is luxury sedan and one economy class car). Luxury is used for the questionnaire as an attribute for the sound quality of car horn. The interior noises for ten test cars are recorded and used for the subjective analysis of car horn sound. In the paper, new sound metric for the car horn sound is presented. The new sound metric is used for the objective sound index for the prediction of subjective sound quality of car horn.
