As is commonly said, music is 'language of emotions.' It is because sound is a plentiful modality to communicate the human sensibility information. However, most researches of auditory displays were focused on improving efficiency on user's performance data such as performance time and accuracy. Recently, many of researchers in auditory displays acknowledge that individual preference and sensible satisfaction may be a more important factor than the performance data. On this ground, in the present study we constructed the sound sensibility dimensions ('Pleasure', 'Complexity', and 'Activity') and systematically examined the attributes of sound on the sensibility dimensions and analyzed the meanings. As a result, sound sensibility dimensions depended on each sound attributes , and some sound attributes interact with one another. Consequently, the results of the present study will provide the useful possibilities of applying the affective influence in the field of auditory displays needing the applications of the sensibility information according to the sound attributes.

This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristics of impact sound of golf driver according to impact points of its face. In order to get the consistent impact sounds, the apparatus for free golf ball drop was prepared and used. Timed amplitude patterns and maximum spectral peaks of the impact sounds were variant according to the impact points of driver face. As an alternative method of impact sound analysis, cumulative sum of spectral power (cumsum) was used to distinguish between impact sounds according to the impact positions. From the comparison of frequencies representing 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of cumsum of impact sound, 40% cumsum frequency of the center of driver face was lower than that of the toe and the heel. This finding suggests that the impact sound from the center of driver face has higher spectral power of low frequency component than that of the toe and heel.

In order to investigate the sensation of the fabric sound simulating the real wear-condition, the fabric sound simulator using reciprocating friction was developed. Fabric sounds from 5 specimen were generated by the fabric sound simulator and recorded using high performance microphone. Physical sound parameters of fabrics including level pressure of total sound (LPT), level range (${\Delta}L$), and frequency differences (${\Delta}f$) were calculated. For psychological evaluation, seven adjectives for sound (softness, loudness, sharpness, clearness, roughness, highness, and pleasantness) were used as the semantic differential scale. Fabric sounds by reciprocating friction of nylon taffeta and polyester leno had the highest value of LPT and evaluated as loud, sharp, rough, and unpleasant while polyester ultra suede and silk crepe de chine haying the lower LPT and ${\Delta}f$ were perceived as soft and quite. Comparing with fabric sound by one-way friction, fabric sound by reciprocation friction was perceived as more sharp, loud, and rough. LPT was also the most important factor affecting the sensation of the fabric sound by reciprocating friction.

Todays, many young people suffer from noise-induced hearing loss by using wearable hearing devices, such as Bluetooth headset. This paper present hearing loss reduction and more natural volumn control algorithms considering individual hearing characteristics and threshold of feeling for Bluetooth headset. Experimental results using CSR Bluetooth headset example design board(DEV-PC-1645) show that individuals maybe able to perceive without the inconvenience at the less sound intensity and the more sensitive frequency bands. As a result, we may prevent hearing loss to reduce excessive sound energy in each frequency bands.

스테레오로 생성된 음향을 헤드폰을 사용하면 좌,우의 소리는 각각 좌,우의 귀로 상호 혼선 없이 전달된다. 그러나 2개의 스피커를 사용한다면 좌,우의 소리가 혼합되어 들린다. 이러한. 혼합현상을 크로스톡이라 하며, 이 경우 본래의 소리는 변질되어 들린다. 이러한 현상을 방지차기 위해 스피커로 재생하기 전 신호를 크로스톡 제거기를 통해 한번 더 처리하는 방법을 사용한다. 여기에 사용되는 크로스톡 제거기는 2개의 스피커와 청취자간의 상대 위치, 그리고 스피커와 청취자가 있는 방의 음향특성에 의해서 적절히 변화되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 방의 음향특성이 무향실과 같다고 가정하고 2개의 스피커와 청취자간의 상대적인 위치가 주어졌을 때 효과적으로 크로스톡 제거기률 생성해주는 알고리듬을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 머리전달함수를 기반으로 하여 스피커가 청취자로부터 표준반경에 위치하였을 때의 크로스톡 제거기률 데이터 베이스화 하여 일반적인 거리에 위치하였을 경우에도 실시간으로 확장 적용할 수 있다.

센서 네트워크를 구성함에 있어서 센서 노드들의 자기위치 인식은 가장 기본이 되며 중요한 부분 중 하나이다. 이런 자기 위치 인식 기법 중에서도 소리를 이용한 기법은 정확도가 높은 장점이 있어 많은 연구가 있어 왔지만 기존의 방법들은 추가적으로 고가의 하드웨어를 이용하거나 중앙 집중식 연산을 함으로써 시스템의 부하가 크며 소리의 발생시간을 미리 계획하여야 한다는 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 일반 음원감지 센서를 장착한 노드들을 이용하여 임의의 시간에 소리를 발생시키고 이를 감지한 각 개별 노드들이 독립적으로 자기위치 인식의 연산을 수행함으로써 에너지 소모를 줄이고, 시스템 설계의 비용은 낮추며 소리의 특성 또한 사용자의 요구에 맞게 설계하여 실용성을 높이는 자기 위치 인식 기법을 제안하고, 실제 구현을 통한 성능 분석을 제시한다.

Many voice recognition systems use methods such as MFCC, HMM to acknowledge human voice. This recognition method is designed to analyze only a targeted sound which normally appears between a human and a device one. However, the recognition capability is limited when there is a group sound formed with diversity in wider frequency range such as dog barking and indoor sounds. The frequency of overlapped sound resides in a wide range, up to 20KHz, which is higher than a voice. This paper proposes the new recognition method which provides wider frequency range by conjugating the Wideband Sound Spectrogram and the Keras Sequential Model based on DNN. The wideband sound spectrogram is adopted to analyze and verify diverse sounds from wide frequency range as it is designed to extract features and also classify as explained. The KSM is employed for the pattern recognition using extracted features from the WSS to improve sound recognition quality. The experiment verified that the proposed WSS and KSM excellently classified the targeted sound among noisy environment; overlapped sounds such as dog barking and indoor sounds. Furthermore, the paper shows a stage by stage analyzation and comparison of the factors' influences on the recognition and its characteristics according to various levels of noise.
