According to the advanced study, Increase of ceiling air space could cause increase of floor impact sound by air-spring effect. So in this research, we studied the increase of floor impact sound caused by ceiling air space in apartment buildings. At first, we evaluated the change of floor impact noise in the condition of with or without ceiling air-space. And then we installed perforated ceiling systems and glass wool at ceiling area. we expected that perforated ceiling systems could prevent air-spring effect in ceiling space. As a result, ceiling air space caused increasement of floor heavy impact noise about 2~4dB. But perforated ceiling & sound-absorbing materials system could give us reduction of heavy floor impact noise about 3dB. So this systems could be a good alternative to obey national regulations, because it can reduce heavy impact noise additional to floating floor systems.

Until now, a home appliance mostly has revealed physical quantities created by the standpoint of engineers, by using the A-weighted sound pressure level and the sound power. It is, however, obviously impossible to characterize a complex sound with a single number. Many parameters must be considered. In addition to loudness, we must take into account frequency and amplitude variation over time, spectral balance, tonality, and many other attributes. Thus, in this research, the general tendency of consumer psychology was investigated for the refrigerator's sound. The noise from the refrigerator was evaluated by not only the simple sound pressure levels but also the consumer's sense of hearing. And also, in order to improve the quality of sound through the design change, the consumer's evaluation was analysed and related to the engineering quantities. With the several design changes, finally the most silence refrigerator in the world was developed with considering the consumer's hearing of sense.

This paper focuses on the numerical prediction of airflow-induced sound in DVD drives. As a first step, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is conducted to evaluate flow field characteristics due to the high-speed disk rotation, and to support the acoustic analysis. Acoustic analogy based on Ffowcs Wi1liams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation is adopted to predict aeroacoustic noise patterns. The integral solution for quadrupole volume source is included to identify the turbulence noise generated inside the DVD tray. The strength of sound pressure revel with respect to rotating speed is discussed to meet upfront demand on the high fidelity product development. The present study also focuses on the noise directivity and examines how much the sound noise is sensitive to change in rotating speed. Near-field noise is strongly affected by the flow field characteristic, which is caused by the complex shape of the tray. For a mid-field, the quadrupole noise play as a counterpart of thickness noise or loading noise, so it generates different sound noise Patterns compared with those in the near field.

Sound has been rated negatively in many industrial areas as the noise to be removed. In the agricultural process such as rice milling based on grinding the surface of the rice, however, it may be anticipated that the sound can contain the some information on the process. In this research, on the assumption that variation of the shape of the rice kernel during milling may bring the change in frequency characteristic of sound signal, we tried to investigate the relationship between the milling degree in the grinding test mill and the resonance and anti-resonance frequencies (the frequencies at which the sound power has the extreme values).

Floating floor structure, which is mainly adopted for reducing interior noise of railway vehicle, is known that it is superior to single wall in respect of sound transmission loss. The dynamic characteristic of the support in the floating floor that is one of the important design variables in floating floor structure can change the sound and vibration insulation properties of it. From excitation test, the dynamic stiffness and loss factor of the support are evaluated. They are used as input parameter for analyzing the sound transmission loss of floating floor. Predicted transmission loss is compared with the prototype-car test results.

In order to investigate the characteristics of sound-structure interaction plate having a cut-out, we modeled a rectangular cavity and the flexible plate of the cavity. Because the particle velocity of air is the same as that of plate on the plate, we could easily redefine vibration equation using the velocity potential. We calculated the natural frequencies of plate using orthogonal polynomial functions which satisfy the boundary conditions in the Rayleigh-Ritz method. For the change of vibration characteristics, the effect of sound-structure interaction is more dominant than that of cut-out size.

The Helmholtz resonator is one of noise control elements widely used in many practical applications. However the resonator array system, which is sometimes used to reflect or absorb low frequency noise, has not been well studied. We have investigated the difference in sound absorption of the Helmholtz resonator array panel caused by change in the resonator arrangement. Experiments and numerical calculations for various Helmholtz resonator array panels are carried out and the results are compared each other. The comparisons show that the acoustic coupling between closely located resonators affects the performance of the sound absorbing system. Particularly, the distance between resonators has a significant effect on the broadness of the sound absorption coefficient.

An axisymmetric supersonic jet is simulated at a Mach number 2.1 and a Reynolds numberof 70000 to identify the mechanism of Mach wave generation and radiation from the jet. In orderto provide the near-field radiated sound directly and resolve the large-scale vortices highly.high-resolution essentially non-oscillatory(ENO) scheme, which is one of the ComputationalAeroAcoustics(CAA) techniques, is newly employed. Perfectly expanded supersonic jet is selectedas a target to see pure shear layer growth and Mach wave radiation without effect of change injet cross section due to expansion or shock wave generated at nozzle exit. The sound field ishighly directional and dominated by Mach waves generated near the end of potential core. Thenear field sound pressure levels as well as the aerodynamic properties of the jet, such asmean-flow parameters are in fare agreement with experimental data.

This paper addresses a new technique of measuring the mean flow velocity over the cross sectional area of the pipe using sound field reconstruction. When fluid flows in the pipe and two plane waves propagate oppositely through the medium, the flow velocity causes the change of wave number of the plane waves. The wave number of the positive going plane wave decreases and that of negative going one increases in comparison to static medium in the pipe. Theoretical backgrounds of this method are introduced in detail and the measurement of mean flow velocity using the sound field reconstruction is not affected by velocity profile upstream of microphones.

This study aims to investigate and evaluate the room acoustic designs of a multi purpose gymnasiums which do not use adjustable treatments in order to change the acoustical characteristics. Considering the main uses of gymnasium and auditorium, experiments were carried out using both nondirectional speakers on the stage and loudspeaker installed on the ceiling. The result from the study are as follows; Measured RT under unoccupied condition was a little longer than the expected value, therefore, in the case of occupied condition RT would be close to the optimum value. However, parameters that evaluate intelligibility and speech transmission property appeared to be low and have large differences depending on the measuring points, therefore, more effective sound reflecting surfaces and sound reinforcement systems should be considered.
