This study examines the traffic noise reduction effects of the diverse efficiency features of a sunken square, and investigates the reduction effects and characteristics of noise alterations according to the construction conditions in order to verify its possibility as a new noise reduction facility. The measured data were analyzed. As a result, (1) the traffic noise from the roads around the sunken squares exceeded the regulatory standards; (2) the sunken squares were protected from noise; (3) the sunken spaces yielded a greater reduction by 6∼7dB than the flat ground thanks to the diffraction effect; and (4) there were fine changes to noise according to the conditions of space construction. In short, a sunken square has the potential to afford new applications as a noise reduction facility in a highly concentrated downtown with the existing defects solved. In addition, its use for effective noise control is evident based on the noise characteristics of a space. Future studies need to include efforts to provide clearer quantitative data, as well as research on shape, layout, and materials.

The study was performed as reduction plan on drainage noise in a toilet, which of noise in plumbing systems was being indicated the major point at issue in apartment houses. The reduction plan is four items, which are water closet, isolating system for the base of water closet, low noise drainpipe, and a ceiling tex. Through the result of experiment, it was showed that noise reduction is about 9dB(A) within a toilet and above 5dB(A) in a bedroom.

In this report, Experimental analysis for main factors and analyzing methods of electro-magnetic noise and no loading noise was conducted because of noise of AC generator, which is peripheral equipment by reduction of engine noise that would be the main cause of vehicle radiation noise. In addition, This is intended to suggest the noise reduction development basis of AC generator for actual fan and electro-magnetic noise by making-analyzing-testing it's sample.

There have been lots of studies on noise transmission analysis and noise reduction In ducts. In order to reduce the noise transmission in ducts. active noise cancellation techniques have often been employed and a rotation shaft with blades has sometimes been suggested. These Ideas were not successfully commercialized because of the limitation of real life such as size or application difficulties. This study investigated how a rotational shaft with blades could reduce the noise transmission in a duct. To do so, an assembly of the shaft and the $haft housing was built In the middle of a duct. and the clearance between the blades and the housing was 0.2 mm. The noise reduction was experimentally evaluated with respect to the number of blades. the rotation speed, and the rotation or stop. This paper showed that the noise reduction resulted in about 14∼19 dBA regardless of the three test conditions only If the blades always blocked the duct. And. the noise reduction increased due to the higher number of blades and the lower speed of the shaft.

The purpose of this study is to develop a noise reduction device installed at the top of noise barrier for further decreasing of noise level of 400 km/h class high-speed railroad. For this, the frequency spectrum of 400 km/h class high-speed railroad was analyzed through the field noise test, and the tuning frequency was determined to design a noise reduction device. The noise reduction device was designed to have noise reduction performance of at least 3 dB(A) using the prediction method(2D BEM) and through the laboratory test with the prototype. Finally, the outdoor test showed that this device could decrease noise level of 400 km/h class high-speed railroad even more than 3 dB(A).

The noise of an running industrial fan or blower depends on the type of a fan, the machining accuracy and assembled conditions of each element, and buffs. Many studies have been carried out to reduce the noise through silencer in blower. In this study, 3 types of buffs which have different hole are employed in pipe of blower to study the influence the number and arrangement of buffs on the noise reduction at inlet and outlet in pipe. Commercial engineering software ANSYS was employed to analyze the characteristics and reduction ratio of pressure. Experimental results shows that optimal one can reduce the reduction ratio of noise as much as 16 percents in the laboratory. Good agreement was found between the analysed ratio of noise reduction and those obtained from the experiments.

A new concept of piezoelectric smart panels for noise reduction in wide band frequencies is proposed and their possibility is experimentally investigated. Multi-mode damping is studied by using a newly proposed tuning method. The proposed panels are based on passive shunt damping methods. This method is based on electrical impedance model and maximizing the dissipated energy at the shunt circuit. four PZT are attached on smart panel for improving performance of transmission noise reduction. 0 prove the concept of piezoelectric smart panels, an acoustic measurement experiment was performed. The smart panels exhibit a good noise reduction in middle and high frequency ranges due to the mass effects of absorbing materials or/and the air gap. The use of piezoelectric smart panel renders noise reduction at resonance frequency. Noise reduction at multiple resonance frequencies is experimentally investigaed.

This paper deals with the noise evaluation and noise reduction of a reciprocating air-compressor. The reciprocating air-compressor is widely used in the small and medium sized industrial firms, many employees exposed and irritated by their noise in the workplace. Thus, appropriate noise control actions should be taken to prevent hearing loss due to the its noise exposure. Lead-wrapping techniques are employed to identify the contribution of principal noise sources which are generally known to be motor, belts, suction valves, discharge valves, moving parts, and flow-induced noise caused by edges or discontinuities along the flow path including expansions, contractions, junctions and bends. As a result, the main noise sources of the air-compressor are categorized by the suction and discharge noise, valve noise, and compressed air tank noise. Based on the investigations, mufflers are designed to reduce both the suction and discharge noise and the compressed-air tank noise. Instead of the conventional valve plate, polyethylene resin is used the reduction of valve impact noise. In addition, attempts are made to reduce the valve noise propagation to the cylinder head and the compressor tank by using the insulation casings. As a result of the countermeasure plans, a noise reduction up to 10dB(A) could be achieved for the air-compressor.

Sound absorbing materials are applied to the exposed surfaces of curvet subway tunnel for the reduction of curving noise level. Before the treatment, acoustical engineering simulation is performed to predict the noise level reduction for different kinds and amounts of absorbing material. The principle of geometrical acoustics is utilized to perform the simulation efficiently and accurately. The noise bevels of the inside and outside of running car body are measured to find the noise level reduction. The average noise level reduction of 8 dB has been attained. It has been shown that the simulated results are comparable to the measured ones.

Experimental analysis has been carried out on noise reduction of subsonic jet flow with chevron nozzle to investigate relationships between geometry variation of chevron nozzles and jet noise reduction. Including base nozzle, seven nozzles are tested at Mach number 0.9. Parametric variables are chevron count, chevron length, and chevron shape. From these experiment, the more chevron count increase, the more jet noise reduction gain. Varying the chevron length, short chevron nozzle increase the jet noise at certain direction all the more. Chevron shape is also considered as important factor to reduce the jet noise.
