There has been an increasing demand for the noise impact assessment by the high-speed trains due to the expansion of high-speed rails. This paper provides procedures for the evaluation and the assessment of the potential noise impact resulting from proposed high-speed rails. Firstly the official specifications for the railway noise have been reviewed, and the procedures for the initial noise evaluation and the detailed noise analysis have been described.

Recently, among those general contractors and construction material production companies in korea, this concept is lively obtained to reduce the floor impact sound. This attempt is continuously tried for developing the floor impact isolation material. However the assesment of the isolation performance is often ignored and even there seems no differences in comparison with the general the isolation performance of the floor impact. This is often occurred for their only respect with the material of the floor impact isolation performance. Therefore, this study analysed the expected problems for site application of currently applied the isolation material and its capacity which as the floor impact reducing material, and presented several major assesment items and checklist which should be inspected in advance of their development or site application.

This paper describes the methodology for environmental assessments of traffic noise sources. An attempt is made to establish evaluation scale relationships between noise quality Parameters and subjective degrees annoyance. Subjective experimental was conducted to determine the subjective degrees annoyance that scaling score compare with reference and varieties noise source about modified traffic noises with $40{\sim}85dB$. Also a correlation analysis between noise rating index and satisfactory percentage of the noise dose response curves varied with response was conducted. As a result of study, subjective annoyance degree has not correlation of proportional linearity to the A weight noise level, but has correlation of proportional linearity to the index composed to loudness and tonality. It is suggested to be resonable level 4.9 (equivalence about 53dB) index on the out door noise limits for traffic noise and to be 6 step scale base on the linearity for evaluation traffic noise.

Turnout system is a mechanical installation enabling trains to be guided from one track to another which is consists of point blades, common crossing and guard rail etc. These structural feature causes vibration, noise and damages while railroad car wheel is passes by. A tilting train is a train with a tilting mechanism that enables increased speed on regular railroad tracks. The aim of this paper is to study a characteristics of the shock-vibration and noise of tilting and existing train passes by turnout systems. To analyze and assesment, noise and vibration measurement was carried out at the Naesu-station of Chungbuk-line which equipped with cast manganese crossing and built-up crossing and Illo-station of Honam-line which equipped with cast manganese crossing.

Ambient noise as a background noise in the ocean has been well known for its the various and irregular signal characteristics. Generally, these signals we treated as noise and they are analyzed through stochastical level if they don't include definite sinusoidal signals. This study is to see how ocean ambient noise can be analyzed by the chaotic analysis technique. The chaotic analysis is carried out with underwater ambient noise obtained in areas near the Korean Peninsula. The calculated physical parameters of time series signal are as follows: histogram, self-correlation coefficient, delay time, frequency spectrum, sonogram, return map, embedding dimension, correlation dimension, Lyapunov exponent, etc. We investigate the chaotic pattern of noises from these parameters. From the embedding dimensions of underwater noises, the assesment of underwater noise by chaotic analysis shows similar results if they don't include a definite sinusoidal signal. However, the values of Lyapunov exponent (divergence exponent) are smaller than that of random noise signal. As a result we confirm the possibility of classification of underwater noise using Lyapunov analysis.

This Study was designed to investigate Traffic condition, Traffic Noise level, Traffic Noise Index (TNI) and Response for dissatisfactions of residents as part of assesment of Noise by 12 Sites in Seoul from July 1st to the end of August 1981. As the resut of this Study, the following Conclusion were obtained 1. The mean traffic Volume of Seoul was 3076/hour ranging 1440/hour to 5772/hour. 2. The range of Road Traffic Noise Level in Residential area was from 73.0dB (A) to 80.2dB (A). The highest level was 80.2dB (A) on Heugseog-dong and the lowest level was 73.0dB (A) on Suyu-dong. 3. Comparision of Road traffic noise level in the day and evening, the range of traffic noise level in day was from 73.9dB (A) to 80.2dB (A), and evening was ranging 73.0 to 79.9dB (A). 4. The range of TNI in Residential area was from 77.5 to 100.0. The highest TNI was 100.0 on Suyu-dong including Heugseog-dong, the lowest TNI was 77.5 on Hyuikyung-dong. 5. Respose of Noise by 360 householders has been examined in Residential Area: Sourse of Noise Causing bothersome to residents was 52.5% of traffic, the types of road traffic Cousing annoyance to residents residents were 84.8% of passing cars and 81.1% of horns, and 71.7% of reading interfered and 68.1% appeal dissatisfactions due to the sleeping disturbance by road traffic noise.

Housing is demanded to convert simple dwelling space into delightful one by improving of standard of living by economic development It is interested in the impact noise of the apartment housing that is revised to housing construction criteria at 29 March 2005 and then regulated the level of floor impact noise by the rule. The plan, which is actively investigated by counterplan for the reduction of impact noise, is application of sound insulation. In generally, first target by using insulation is the reduction of floor thermal transmittance in floor heating system of apartment housing. It is recently proposed soft materials that reduce the impact noise. However, it is a fact that the application of soft sound insulation includes some problem about structural performance. In this study, we made wet-heating specimen with various sound insulations, and carried out structralexperiment for evaluating the structural safety of it.

This study intends to develop a GIS-based environmental assesment technique for environmental friendly road route plan using a spatial analysis function. After embodying an impact range based on the analysis of factors which cause the environmental damage by the road construction, a literature survey on a diverse grading cases and legal regulations was conducted. As a quantitative model for the spatial analysis, AHP was selected. As the environmental assessment, 8 items such as topography & geology, animals & plants, soil ecology, water quality, air quality, noise, land use, and landscape were selected. and then finally classified into three-grades using a pairwise comparison of the alate collected by a questionnaire surveying, weighting values were applied to there 8 items. The highest weight value, the grade 1 among eight was 0.191 for animals & plants. As the result of verifying the above method for the case region, the most environment-friendly road route could be generated.
