  • Underwater ambient noise level was measured at two points near the Youngil Bay. The environmental characteristics depend upon oceanographic conditions of sound propagation ana its implication on the source of ambient noise. Some noise sources were estimated, and the effect of the oceanographic conditions on the noise level variation had been considered. The results were as follows : 1) At the nearshore station of Youngil Bay, the ambient noise level in the near bottom(45m) was lower than that of the near surface(10m) by 15dB. This difference was due to spherical spreading from the upper to the lower layer. 2) At the open sea station which is located outside of the thermal front existing near the Youngil Bay, the ambient noise level of the upper layer(20m) was higher than that of the lower layer (100m) by $8{\sim}12dB$ below 50Hz and $15{\sim}23dB$ above 50Hz. 3) Above 60Hz the ambient noise level at the nearshore station was higher than that of the open sea station, while below 60Hz, the result was reverse. It appears that a boundary layer existed between the two stations.
