본 연구에서는 선행음과 후속음의 영향이 음상정위에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 실험을 하였다. 음원은 양귀간 시간차(Interaural Time Difference ; ITD)를 0.5ms로 한 기준음을 사용하였다. 이러한 기준음과 5종류의 레벨차를 가진 방해음(선행음 및 후속음) 및 기준음과 방해음의 시간차(Inter-Stimuli Interval ; ISI) 4종류를 조합하여 피실험자에게 제공하였다. 그리고 주파수에 대한 의존성을 알아보기 위해 기준음과 방해음을 2kHz, 4kHz, 백색 잡음을 이용하였다. 피실험자는 헤드폰을 사용하여 기준음이 좌우 어느 쪽에서 들리는지를 판단하도록 하였다. 그 결과 음상정위에 미치는 영향은 후속음보다는 선행음이 크게 나타났다. 이것은 시간 마스킹과 같은 경향이라고 생각되어 진다. 음상정위에 있어서는 기준음과 방해음 사이의 주파수 의존성은 적게 나타났다.

최근 PC의 성능이 향상되고 디지털 신호처리 기술이 발달함에 따라 복잡한 계산을 필요로 하는 입체음향처리를 PC 상에서도 구현하는것이 가능하게 되면, 멀티미디어 분야에서 입체음향에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 특히 2 채널 방식의 입체 음향 기술은 공간활용성과 경계성에서 우수하여 많은 연구가 진행되고있다. 2 채널 재생 방식에 있어서 위치음 효과는 비교적 단순한 반면에 이동음 효과는 특정점에서만 측정된 머리전달함수를 이용하여 이동하는 음을 생성해야 하기 때문에 해결해야 할 문제점이 많다. 본 논문에서는 입체음향을 2채널로 재생할 때 이동음 효과가 부드럽게 생성되도록 하는 방법에 대해 다루고자 한다. 특히 부드럽게 궤적을 생성하는 방법, 그리고 이동음의 출력이 이산적인 공간에서 부드럽게 연결되도록 하는 방법에 대해서 제안하고 실제 테스트를 통해서 그 유용성을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 사용자의 음장 선호도를 이용하여 오디오 콘텐츠를 사용자가 원하는 음장으로 변환하는 기술에 대하여 설명한다. 오디오 신호가 재생되는 공간의 음장을 사용자가 원하는 음장으로 변환시켜주는 음장효과 기술은 실감있고 현장감있는 음악재생에 필수적인 요소이다. 그러나, 음장효과를 실시간으로 처리하기 위해서는 막대한 연산량이 필요하므로 MP3 플레이어와 같은 휴대용 오디오 단말에서는 구현하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 사용자로부터 전달된 음장 선호도를 이용하여 서버에서 음장효과를 처리하도록 하여, 단말의 성능에 구애받지 않고 음장효과를 제공할 수 있는 기술을 제안한다. 사용자가 선호하는 음장을 표현하기 위하여 선호하는 음장을 실내응답신호의 URI 주소를 이용하여 표현하는 방법 뿐만 아니라 음향공간에 대한 심리적 파라미터를 이용할 수 있게 하였다. 또한, 실내응답신호와 복적분 연산을 통한 음장효과 처리 방법을 실시간 응용에 적용하기 위하여 고속 복적분 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 실험을 통하여 실시간 응용에도 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 음장 선호도 서술구조의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여, 일반인을 대상으로 음장을 구분하는 능력과 음장효과가 처리된 음악에 대한 선호도에 대한 주관듣기평가를 실시하여 제안된 음장 선호도가 일반인들에게 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study is to investigate the sound insulation performance of windows according to the sound source in the field test. For this purpose, an experiment was performed by KSF 2235(method for field measurements of sound insulation of windows and doors). Based on this code, the sound insulation performance fo the windows was measured for different incident angles of the sound and the effect of incident angle was obtained and discussed. Finally, it was found that the sound insulation performance of the windows was affected by the incident angle of sound source, and the sound insulation rating scale was different for the same window. The main factor changing insulation rating scale is considered to be the sound transmission through the carck of the folding part between the two pieces of wndows. Therefore, when evaluating the sound insulation performance of the windows for the field test, first of all the place of the sound source should be identified and generalized.

The purpose of this study is to identify the significant sound quality metric and compose the sound quality index of motor driven roller blind which is part of vehicle sunroof. Before subjective evaluation, sound characteristics of roller blind was analyzed and set the target operating sound for subjective evaluation. Thus, transfer sound of roller blind which has the characteristics of sound modulation was used for subjective evaluation. Linear regression was carried out by chosen Zwicker's metrics which are pointed by comments of jurors. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are prime metrics in sound quality index we composed. Effect of roller blind assay when it is attached to real vehicle was identified to evaluate the validity of index.

Previously, we have analyzed Vehicle interior noise by dBA based analysis. However, dBA based analysis can not describe the various sound phenomenon that consumer hear. Sound quality matrics can describe various sound phenomenon that dBA based analysis could not explain. In this paper, we will demonstrate the difference of between dBA based analysis and real sound feeling, and analyze sound examples by sound metrics and Principle Component Analysis. In this way we can analyze vehicle interior noise more effectively.

Although sound intensity is considered as one of important factors in auditory processing, its neural mechanism in auditory neurons with limited dynamic range of firing rates is still unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of sound intensity adaptation on the change of glucose metabolism in a rat brain using [F-18] micro positron emission tomography (PET) neuroimaging technique. In the experiment, broadband white noise sound was given for 30 minutes after the [F-18]FDG injection in order to explore the functional adaptation of rat brain into the sound intensity levels. Nine rats were scanned with four different sound intensity levels: 40 dB, 60 dB, 80 dB, 100 dB sound pressure level (SPL) for four weeks. When glucose uptake during the adaptation of a high intensity sound level (100 dB SPL) was compared with that during adaptation to a low intensity level (40 dB SPL) in the experiment, the former induced a greater uptake at bilateral cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complexes and inferior colliculi in the auditory pathway. Expectedly, the metabolic activity in those areas linearly increased as the sound intensity level increased. In contrast, significant decrease interestingly occurred in the bilateral auditory cortices: The activities of auditory cortex proportionally decreased with higher sound intensities. It may reflect that the auditory cortex actively down-regulates neural activities when the sound gets louder.

Sound pressure levels in the receiving room while testing airborne sound insulation performance are varied by the measuring points. This may increase the measurement error, then decrease the measurement reliability. With this reason the research has carried out on the method to reduce deviations of sound pressure level in the ISO type rectangular laboratory focusing on the measurement of airborne sound insulation performance. Tests were made to see the effect of sound absorption in the receiving room, loudspeaker locations, microphones locations and flanking transmission path. Consequently, it was resulted that sound absorption in the receiving room and the loudspeaker location have influence on the sound level deviations especially in the low frequency. The microphone location was very important to get measurement reliability. The effective measuring point, which the sound level difference with average sound pressure level is within 2 dB, could yield most reliable average sound pressure level. Therefore it is necessary to find the effective measuring points in the receiving room. Flanking transmission path should be sealed using sound absorber or magnet etc. to prevent from lowering the sound insulation performance.

Aluminum extruded panel used in a high speed train shows high stiffness, however, its sound insulation performance is remarkably decreased by local resonance phenomena. In this paper, improvement strategy of the sound insulation performance is proposed for the floor extruded panel used in HEMU-400x, 400km/h class next generation high speed train under development, and the improvement effect is verified by experiment. Aluminum extruded panel specimen for the floor is manufactured and urethane foam is installed in the core of the panel. Based on ASTM E2249-02, intensity transmission loss is measured and the improvement effect in local resonance frequency band is verified. Finally, improvement effect of the sound insulation performance is estimated on the layered floor structure including the foamed aluminum panel.

The photophone, Alexander Graham Bell's device for transmitting sound through light was patented in 1880. It included the transmitter modulating and reflecting strong light like sunlight to a distant receiver which produced sound. In this working of the photophone, the discovery of the sound-emitting effect under illumination was very essential. Longing for being famous in the scientific community, Bell focused on presenting various methods for producing sounds and for maximizing the loudness by performing intensive research on the photoacoustic effect. Bell's scientific research on photoacoustics was successful in establishing himself as a scientist and laid a foundation of photoacoustic analysis. And his invention became a basis for other researchers' subsequent technologies like fiber-optic communication.
