생활수준의 향상으로 실내용 가전제품 개발의 초점은 제품의 성능 뿐 아니라 소음, 디자인과 같은 요소에 맞추어지고 있다. 청소기는 가전제품 중, 큰 소음을 발생시킴으로써 소음 감소를 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 청소기의 체감 소음 측정 방법에 대한 연구는 청소기 소음 제어에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 청소기 체감 소음 측정을 위하여 청각 시스템을 기반으로 객관적 음질 특징을 제시한다. 인간의 청각 시스템은 특정 주파수 대역에 민감하게 반응하므로, 청각에 민감한 주파수 대역의 소음에너지를 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 녹음된 소음의 특정 주파수 영역의 평균 에너지를 계산하여 이를 청소기 음질 측정을 위한 새로운 객관적 특징 값으로 제시한다. 제시하는 객관적 특징 값의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, 14개 청소기의 소음을 녹음한 후, 100명을 대상으로 PCM 및 ACR 주관적 평가 법을 실시하여 주관적 점수를 획득하였다. 제시하는 객관적 특징 값은 주관적 점수와 높은 상관관계를 보여준다.

It is well known that a long-term exposure to a loud noise environment affects performance, since it distracts attention, and also is able to evoke stress accompanied by negative emotional states. The purpose of this study was to analyze dynamics of subjective and physiological variables during long-lasting (30 min) exposure to intensive white noise (85 dB[A]). Physiological signals on 23 college students were recorded by BIOPAC, Grass Neurodata systems and AcqKnowledge 3.5 software. Autonomic variables, namely skin conductance level (SCL), non-specific SCR number (N-SCR), inter-beat intervals in ECG (RR intervals), heart rate variability index (HF/LF ratio of HRV), respiration rate (RESP), and skin temperature (SKT) were analyzed on 5 min epoch basis. Psychological assessment (subjective rating of stress level) was also repeated on every 5 min basis. Regression and correlation analyses were employed to trace the time course of the dynamics of the subjective and autonomic physiological variables and their relationship. Results showed that intense noise evokes subjective stress with associated autonomic nervous system responses. However, it was shown that physiological variables endure specific changes in the process of exposure to loud white noise. Discussed are probable psychophysiological mechanisms mediating reactivity to long-term auditory stimulation of high intensity.

Long-term exposure to loud noise affects performance since it changes arousal level, distracts attention, and also is able to evoke subjective stress accompanied by negative emotional states. The purpose of the study was to analyze dynamics of subjective and physiological variables during a relatively long-lasting (30 min) exposure to white noise (85 dB[A]). Physiological signals were recorded on 15 college students during 30 min of intense auditory stimulation. Autonomic variables, namely skin conductance level , non-specific SCR number, inter-best intervals in ECG, heart rate variability index (HF/LF ratio of HRV), skin temperature, as well as respiration rate were analyzed on 5 min epoch basis. Psychological assessment (subjective rating of stress level) was also repeated every 5 min. Statistical analysis was employed to trace the time course of the dynamics of subjective and autonomic physiological variables and their relationships. Results showed that the intense noise evoked subjective stress as well as associated autonomic nervous system responses. However it was shown that physiological variables endured specific changes in the process of exposure to the loud white noise. Discussed were probable psychophysiological mechanisms mediating reactivity to long-term auditory stimulation of high intensity, namely short-term activation, followed by transient adaptation (with relatively stable autonomic balance) and then a subsequent wave of arousal due to tonic sympathetic dominance.

The heavy-weight floor impact sound field of the receiving room in a testing building with bearing wall structure was investigated using bang machine and impact ball. The sound field was investigated through the impact sound pressure level distribution by the field measurement and computational analysis. Predicted sound field using the computational analysis agree with measurement result in the low frequency band. Result shows that standard deviations of the single number rating value are about 2dB in each impact source. Particularly, impact sound pressure level at 120cm height in 63Hz octave band was 5dB lower than spatial averaging value. It was found that receiving positions in the ministry of construction and transportation notice should be reconsidered.

표준 중량 충격원의 실제 충격원 재현성에 대한 논란이 있음에도 현재 기준에서는 뱅머신 방식만 사용하고 있다. 현행 기준의 평가방법 및 등급 기준이 충격원 특성을 고려하지 못하고 있어 충격원의 선택에 따라 바닥충격음 차단 성능 등급에 차이가 발생하기 때문이다. 본 연구는 충격원 특성 외에 바닥 진동 거동 특성을 함께 고려한 현행 기준의 바닥충격음 평가 방법 고찰을 목적으로 한다. 공동주택 mock-up 실험동에서 표준 중량 충격원과 실충격원에 대하여 바닥충격음을 측정하고 이를 이용하여 해외 평가 방법과 우리나라의 평가 방법을 비교 검토하였다. 또한 현행 바닥충격음 평가 기준의 대상 주파수 범위를 벗어나는 저주파수 대역의 음압레벨은 네텔란드의 저주파 소음 인지 곡선과 국내 연구자가 제안한 저주파 소음 기준안을 이용하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 기준 및 평가 산정 방법에 따라 성능 평가 결과가 상이하며, 바닥 진동의 지배 주파수 범위에서 모든 충격원에 대한 바닥충격음 가청 소음으로 인식하여 성가시게 느낄 가능성이 매우 크다. 현행 평가 기준의 단일수치 평가량 산정 방법은 충격원에 따라 상이한 음압레벨 스펙트럼 특성을 제대로 반영하지 못하며, 바닥의 진동 거동 지배 주파수를 포함하는 저주파수 대역의 음압레벨을 고려하지 않고 있어 바닥충격음에 대한 평가 결과와 사람의 인지 수준에 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 충격원에 따른 음압레벨의 스펙트럼 특성과 저주파수 대역의 음압레벨을 반영할 수 있도록 현행 기준의 평가 방법을 보완할 필요가 있다.

Standard sound source currently used in heavy-weight floor impact sounds that cause many social problems has excessive low-frequency energy within a range from 63 Hz to 125 Hz, and is difficult to evaluate and measure. To solve these problems, studies are widely performed using a new impact source, the impact ball. In this study, the sound fields in a receiving room were compared and analyzed according to the current impact source, the bang machine, and the impact ball. And deviation of sound pressure level according to the impact source positions were compared. In case of impact ball, the sound pressure level was lower at 63 Hz and below and higher at 125 Hz and above. The same trend was observed at the low-frequency range on the horizontal and vertical planes, regardless of the type of the impact source, which showed the influence of the room mode. There was a problem with the variations in the sound pressure level according to the size or shape of the receiving room. And it also shows that change of source positions may effect the single number rating scheme.

방음벽은 도심구간의 도로 및 철도에서 환경소음 저감을 위한 가장 효율적 대안의 하나이다. 도로교통소음 등에 대한 방음벽의 삽입손실은 방음판의 음향투과손실, 흡음손실 및 방음벽의 회절감쇠에 의한 음에너지 저감량의 합으로 이루어진다. 방음판의 음향투과손실은 방음벽의 삽입손실을 결정하는 중요한 요인 중 하나로 방음벽의 성능을 결정하는 기본적인 지표이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직까지 우리나라는 방음판의 음향투과손실 측정방법에 관한 별도의 규격이 없다. 방음판의 일반적 재질에 대해 규정하고 있는 KS F 4770 시리즈의 한두 항목으로 가볍게 다루고 있을 뿐이다. 이 논문은 방음판의 음향투과손실 측정 및 평가 규격의 필요성에 대해 고찰하고, 실내 건축부재와 달리 외부공간에 설치되는 방음벽의 특성을 감안한 자유음장(무향실) 수음실에서의 측정방법을 모색하였다. 아울러 도로변이나 철로변 등 다양한 설치장소에 따른 방음효과를 간단히 표시할 수 있도록 기준 스펙트럼을 활용한 단일수치 평가법을 제안하였다.

To investigate the risk perception of environmental issues, two consequtive surveys were conducted to environmental professionals using a standardized questionnaire from September to October in 1999. The number of subjects were 72 for the first survey and 68 for the second one. The questionnaire was consisted of items such as the degree of environmental pollution in Korea, risk perception of some issues on human health and ecosystem, and seriousness of the problems in the real situation in Korea. For the degree of environmental pollution in Korea, the average risk rating in the second test (7.4 point) was significantly higher than that in the first test (7.2 point). The risk perception on the general human health and ecosystem, and the seriousness in Korea situation were analyzed in the order of ′air pollution′, ′water pollution′,′soil contamination′,′waste′,′toxic chemical pollutants′,′food contamination′,′ocean contamination′, ′odor pollution′, and ′noise pollution′. Also ′toxic chemical pollutants′ problem was perceived to be the highest risk on general human health or ecosystem, and on present situation in Korea. ′Automotive vehicle exhaust′ problem was perceived to be the most severe environmental problems among specific 30 items. ′Industrial source air pollution′,′toxic air pollutants′, and ′domestic and industrial source pollutants to surface water′ were relatively severe environmental problems comparing to other problems. The pollution issues were classified into four categories by two aspects of perception; risk in general setting and seriousness in Korea situation. If the issues were highly serious in Korea and low risk perception in general setting then it is named "the Korea-specific group". Those that were all high score in two aspects, named "the Common group". Those that were all low in two aspects, named "the Nonsignificant group". And the issues were high risk perception in general setting and low seriousness in Korean situation, named "the Latent group".
