A Strategy of Refrigerator Noise Control by Using Subjective Assessment

The conventional methods for noise control attempts to simply reduce the level of product noise. This has been common practice in noise control industry. However, it is very straightforward common sense that we have consider human perception on noise. In this paper, we propose a noise control strategy which takes into account the subjective perception of product noise. We especially has concentrated on a refrigerator noise. The proposed method is composed of 3 steps. Firstly, the actual refrigerator noise signal is measured. Then, to make the sample noise set for subjective assessment the noise signal is edited in 1／3 octave bands. Finally, we establish a strategy of refrigerator noise control by using the results from subjective assessment of these noise signals
