It is statistically analyzed the underwater ambient noise measured at 13 sites less than 200 m deep in the shallow water surrounding the Korean Peninsula for 9 yews from 1990 to 1998 in various environmental conditions. Frequency spectra were obtained with the 1/3-octave band center frequencies from 25㎐ to 20 ㎑. The analyzed shallow water noise spectra were some different from the deep water blown as the Wenz spectra. We could know that the ambient noise level shows higher than it in same condition by effect of various ship activity and the coastal noise, surface waves, and so on. As a result, we produced the coastal ambient noise spectra curve based on these results in shore of the Korea Peninsula.

층간소음의 대부분의 원인이 아이들 뛰거나 발걸음으로 나타나고 있어 층간소음 저감을 위한 선행 연구로 층간소음의 주요 충격원인 보행 행위에 대한 정밀한 연구가 필요하다. 성인 보행 충격력과 그에 따른 바닥충격음을 계측하여 보행하중이 바닥충격음에 영향을 주는 요소를 분석하였다. 보행하중 중 발 뒤꿈치 충격력은 전체 충격하중을 주파수 특성을 대변할 수 있는 임펄스 형태의 하중으로 충격력은 뱅머신 또는 고무공보다 낮지만 1 차 영점(First zero)이 80Hz 정도로 높아 유효 가진 주파수 대역이 표준 중량충격원 보다 높았다. 구조물과 수음실의 고유모드 특성으로 인해 외부 충격에 대한 구조체 진동 및 음압의 공진 현상이 발생되기 때문에 공진 성분이 포함되는 바닥충격음 레벨은 순수 충격력 특성인 보행 또는 표준 중량충격원의 옥타브 밴드 충격력 폭로레벨과는 전혀 다른 주파수 특성을 나타내었다.

Jet noise of propulsion systems is major source of acoustic loads of launch vehicles and sounding rockets. The investigation of characteristics of jet noise is inevitable for successful missions. In this paper, the mechanism of generation of acoustic loads due to jet noise was investigated. The major parameters that change the characteristics of acoustic loads were also suggested so that effects of the parameters could be investigated. The temporal and spatial characteristics of acoustic loads of KSR-III was demonstrated. The results show that the maximum value of the acoustic loads is found in the octave bands whose center frequencies are 250 Hz and 500 Hz. Finally, the methods and the facilities for the further investigation of acoustic loads were proposed.

The sound measurement procedures of IEC 61400-11 are applied to field test and evaluation of noise emission from 1.5 MW wind turbine generator (WTG) at Yongdang and 660 kW WTG at Hangwon in Jeju Island. Apparent sound power level, wind speed dependence and third-octave band levels are evaluated for both of WTGs. 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang is found to emit lower sound power than 660 kW one at Hangwon, which seems to be due to lower rotating speed of the rotor of WTG at Yongdang. Equivalent continuous sound pressure levels (ECSPL) of 660 kW WTG at Hangwon vary more widely with wind speed than those of 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang. The reason for this is believed to be the fixed blade rotating speed of WTG at Yongdang. One-third octave band analysis of the measured data show that the band components around 400-500 Hz are dominant for 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang and those around 1K Hz are dominant for 660 kW WTG at Hangwon.

This paper proposes a method of time-scale modification of polyphonic audio signals based on a sinusoidal model. The signals are modeled with sinusoidal component and noise component. A multiresolution filter bank is designed which splits the input signal into six octave-spaced subbands without aliasing and sinusoidal modeling is applied to each subband signal. To alleviate smearing of transients in time-scale modification a dynamic segmentation method is applied to subbands which determines the analysis-synthesis frame size adaptively to fit time-frequency characteristics of the subband signal. For extracting sinusoidal components and calculating their parameters matching pursuit algorithm is applied to each analysis frame of subband signal. In accordance with spectrum analysis a psychoacoustic model implementing the effect of frequency masking is incorporated with matching pursuit to provide a resonable stop condition of iteration and reduce the number of sinusoids. The noise component obtained by subtracting the synthesized signal with sinusoidal components from the original signal is modeled by line-segment model of short time spectrum envelope. For various polyphonic audio signals the result of simulation shows suggested sinusoidal modeling can synthesize original signal without loss of perceptual quality and do more robust and high quality time-scale modification for large scale factor because of representing transients without any perceptual loss.

Personal hearing devices, such as hearing aids, may be fine-tuned by allowing the users to conduct self-adjustment. Two self-adjustment procedures were developed to collect the listener preferred gains in six octave-frequency bands from 0.25 kHz to 8 kHz. These procedures were designed to allow rapid exploration of a multi-dimensional parameter space using a simple, one-dimensional user control interface (i.e., a programmable knob). The two procedures differ in whether the user interface controls the gains in all frequency bands simultaneously (Procedure A) or only the gain in one frequency band (Procedure B) on a given trial. Monte-Carlo simulations suggested that for both procedures the gain preference identified by simulated listeners rapidly converged to the ground-truth preferred gain profile over the first 20 trials. Initial behavioral evaluations of the self-adjustment procedures, in terms of test-retest reliability, were conducted using 20 young, normal-hearing listeners. Each estimate of the preferred gain profile took less than 20 minutes. The deviation between two separate estimates of the preferred gain profile, conducted at least a week apart, was about 10 dB ~ 15 dB.

The speech privacy of closed office rooms located in a university campus was measured and assessed in terms of SPC (Speech Privacy Class) values. The measurements of two quantities, the LD (Level Difference) between a source and a receiving room, and the background noise level ($L_b$) at the receiving room were carried out in 5 rooms located in 3 different buildings in the university campus. Each of the 5 rooms was adjacent to both offices and corridors through walls. The TL (Transmission Loss) between the source and the receiver room was also measured to compare the difference of two standard methods, ASTM E2836-10 and KS F 2809. The present results show that the speech privacy of the 5 office rooms is not met the requirement for a minimum SPC values of 70. A minimum LD value of 41 dB between the source and the receiver room should be achieved for having a SPC value of 70 when the mean measured value of $L_b$ at the receiving room is 29.2 dB. That is, the TL(avg) value averaged over the octave bands from 160 Hz to 5000 Hz between the source and the receiver room should be or greater than 40 dB. The most important architectural factor influencing the LD value is the presence of openings, such as doors, and windows, on the adjacent walls between the source and receiving room. Therefore, if the opening of the adjacent wall is replaced by an opening with high sound insulation, the appropriate SPC value of the research and office rooms can be achieved.

The noise levels on board ship recognized at Europe in the early 1970s and the noise regulations on board ship began to put in a statutory form. After that, in 1982 "International Code on Noise Levels on Board Ships" adopted by IMO and it became standard to the newly built ship and remain so to this day. Especially, the ship engine room, which have huge main engine and various kinds of subsidiary machines, is under an extremely loud condition and so the worker who works in it is easy to lose his hearing. Recently, each nation regulates the allowable noise exposure time by law to protect the industrial employee from the occupational hardness of hearing. In our country, the allowable noise exposure time is regulated by the labor standard law but the international provisions regulated by IMO have been applied in case of the ship engine room. In this paper, the cabin's noise levels of cargo-passenger ships plies south-west coast line were investigated.

This paper describes the analysis of vibration characteristics through the human body as the research for voice therapy and diagnosis. The oscillation signal is not external forces but the self-voice to be pronounced the vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'). The experiment system consists of microphones, accelerometers and amplifiers. The input data are stored by the computer. At the same time, the voice is stored by the microphone and the vibration signal of the human body is stored by accelerometer. The 63 points are appointed in head, neck, trunk of human body. The positions and number of times are changeable by the purpose. The analysis parameters are amplitude, phase, fundamental. frequency, formant and the correlation of vibration signal and voice is measured by coherence function. The results show that the vibration signals have characteristic vibration in the positions of human body.
