Noise radiated from pile driving operation is one of major sources of community noise pollution and thus its operation method is strictly restricted by regulations. Although the drilling method is now used been commonly used in urban areas because of its activity, the benefit of low noise decreases due to high working cost. In the present work, noise characteristics of pile driving operation are carried out. Based on the study result, a low-noise pile cap for driven piles is developed in order to satisfy both the noise level restriction and the economical efficiency. Effects of pile cap are investigated by a scale model experiment, which is focused on the variation of impact force and sound pressure level. The results show a good possibility of noise reduction by an appropriately designed pile cap.

In a small territory like South Korea, the only alternative to accommodate people in a big city is building apartment house. Exterior traffic noise is not inevitable as the apartment house is set up on wayside or main road is newly established near the area. As the request for quiet environment increases for a better quality of life recently, the exterior noise is considered to be resolved. This study shows the present condition of exterior noise of apartments and reviews a need for the improvement by comparing and analyzing the regulations of main country. Finally, considered the evaluating the interior noise in the apartment house.

In the previous studies on railway noise analysis, the main purpose of noise analysis is concerned with the reduction of A-weighted sound pressure level in order to satisfy noise regulations. However, more important facts on noise reduction are the subjective feelings of the human being on noise because people might be annoyed from the noise caused by train. In this paper, railway noise from different type of train are compared using the calculation of sound quality metrics with using strength related method that is calculation of A-weighted sound pressure level.

The floor impact noise in apartment buildings has been known as the most sensitively recognized environmental noise. Therefore. inhabitants perceptual evaluation of floor impact noises was investigated by a questionnaire survey. It was found that the respondents perceive the floor impact noises from the upper nor as a constant noise level. However, if there is any child on the upper floor. the respondents felt Its noise as a harshly grating level. It was also found that the larger the respondents house is. the higher their wanted level of noise isolation is. Moreover, it was revealed that the main source of the floor impact noise from the upper floor is a child at the age from six to seven. The results could be used as fundamental data for the research on impact sources and new regulations that fit to Korean perceptual aspects and characteristics.

In order to satisfy the regulations concerned with the noise emission of fork-lift trucks and thereby increase export to the western countries, a noise reduction technique should be developed in the early design stage. In this paper, several noise sources are identified using the sound suppression method and sound intensity measurement, and their contributions to the sound levels at the operator's ears and at the distance of 7m from the vehicle are studied. For each of the major noise producting components, noise abatement alternative are suggested and their effects are analyzed.

This paper is a case study for the reduction of excavator Radiated noise. The main purpose of the study is to reduction noise for the cooling fan and hydraulic line which is main noise source of the excavator. Recent, noise regulations for the construction equipment is becoming stricter. Compare to past excavator drivers requirements for noise level demanding are becoming more and more. Therefore, this progress is an important role in determining the quality of the excavator.

As the density and height of the buildings nearby subway lines get higher, the unprecedented residents' appeals for noise are on the rise. Furthermore, in accordance with the revision of enforcement regulations on the Noise and Vibration Control Act, the night time noise standards have been reinforced by 5dB effective on January 1st 2010 and the appropriate measures shall be taken accordingly. For the settlement of the public grievances against noise and vibration generated on tracks in at-grade and elevated section, the installation of continuously-welded-rail, rail lubrication system, improved fastening system and higher noise barrier is currently executed. Nevertheless, the noise and vibration levels in some areas are still exceeding the limits required in the regulation. Among the measures, an installation of higher noise barrier or noise tunnel seems to be the most effective way; however, it has limitations owing to the structural stability of existing elevated structures. The paper in consideration of the local conditions and foreign practices discusses the installation of fairing system under the train body as an noise insulation panel in order to reduce the rolling noise and under-carriage noise. Based on the result of this study, a performance verification test during actual train operation is in progress for further study.

An Elevator is a very important equipment in high-rise apartments. The noise generated by an elevator is causing inconvenience to residents. However, there are no laws and regulations on elevator noise, and moreover it is not clear how to measure and evaluate elevator noise. For these problems, the first priority should be given to grasping the characteristics of noise and vibration generated during elevator operation. In this study, noise and vibration generated when operating a rope-type elevator in a high-rise apartment are divided according to the number of floors and the type of room, and the noise and vibration are simultaneously measured to understand the characteristics of noise and vibration. The correlation coefficient according to the experimental conditions was determined. As a result, it was found that elevator noise was mainly composed of components in the 125 Hz to 500 Hz band, and the correlation with vibration in the 125 Hz to 500 Hz band was also significant. For the top layer, it was confirmed that the correlation coefficient was very high at 0.8 level.

This study analyzes the problem of environmental impact assessment for building steam power plants, particularly that of noise assessment for building the Dangjin steam power plant. It concludes that the laws and regulations for noise assessment and its methodology should be amended, and offers certain proposals.

Since the apartment was built in 1961, the amount of its supply has been increased greatly, especially from the late 70's. The ratio of apartment housing to detached housing was already over 65% in 2000, and now the apartment becomes the most general type in domestic dwellings. But from 90's, the residents of apartment housing have been dissatisfied with the indoor noises and have issued civic petitions. Some national assemblymen front new towns where a high rise apartment is common are interested in This problem, and promise that they try to solve it. The government has also enacted the related regulations. This paper presents the present state and action plans of indoor noise in dwellings. Details on these will be demonstrated at the presentation.
