Low frequency noises (up to about 200 Hz) mainly occur due to particular modes, resulting in booming noises, and in general the solutions may be found based on mode controls where conventional methods such as FEM can be used. However, at higher frequencies between 0.3~ 1 kHz, as the number of modes rapidly increase, radiation characteristics from structures, performances of damping sheets and sound packages may be more crucial rather than particular modes, and consequently the conventional FEM may be less practical in dealing with this kinds of structure-borne problems. In this context, so-called 'mid-frequency simulation model' based on FE-SEA hybrid method is studied and validated. Energy Transmission loss (i.e. air borne noise) is also studied. A dash panel component is chosen for this study, which is an important path that transfers both structure-borne and air borne energies into the cavity. Design modifications including structural modifications, attachment of damping sheets and application of different sound packages are taken into account and the corresponding noise characteristics are experimentally identified. It is found that the dash member behaves as a noise path. The damping sheet or sound packages have similar influences on both sound radiation and transmission loss. The comparison between experiments and simulations shows that this model could be used to predict the tendency of noise improvement.

The noise radiated by the rotary compressor for a room air-conditioner was investigated experimentally. Noise characteristics and structural eigen modes of the compressor were identified through sound tests and modal tests each other. From these tests. we found that the accumulator has a big contribution to the noise radiation. So, various structural modifications for the accumulator were performed and these modification methods were found efficient to the noise reduction from verification tests.

Exterior noise generated by the aircraft induces a serious noise pollution near the airport. For the prediction of an exterior noise radiation of aircraft an empirical formula is employed to model the acoustic sources. It is shown that the fan/compressor noise is the most dominant part of the acoustic sources in all cases.

In research vessels or naval ships, airborne noise from machineries such as diesel engine is the major source of underwater noise at low speed. In this paper, effect of engine noise on underwater noise is studied by considering two paths; sound radiation from hull plate and direct airborne noise transmission through hull plate. SEA (Statistical energy analysis) is used to predict hull plate vibration induced by engine noise, where SEA model consists of only two subsystems; engine room air space and hull plate. The pressure level in water is calculated from sound radiation by plate. Engine noise transmission through hull plate is obtained by assuming plane wave propagation in air-limp plate-water system. Two effects are combined and compared to the measurement, where speaker is used as a source in engine room and sound pressure levels in engine room and water are measured. The hydrophone is located 1 m away from the hull plate. It is found below 1000 Hz, prediction overestimates underwater sound pressure level by 5 to 12 dB.

In this study, numerical analysis is performed to investigate the sound radiation characteristics of an apartment house according to the type of the slab system. In order to satisfy the boundary condition of the apartment house, the whole floor is modelled with FEM model for three different structural system: wall, RC, flat slab system. From the analytical results, it Is shown that heavy weight floor impact noise of wail type slab is larger than that of the other slab systems and the noise radiated from the wall have great effect on the sound pressure level. The results also show that the vibration energy of RC or flat slab system is widely distributed over the whole slab, which is main reason that the noise induced by the slab systems is reduced in comparison with wail slab system.

It is well known that the major noise source of Refrigerator is compressor, and due to the tendency of higher quality and more lighting of manufactured goods, the importance of prevention and reduction of a noise is increasing. In this paper, in order to prevent and reduce such a noise, sound pressure level and acoustic intensity are measured for compressor, and the result of these measurements, the noise radiation characteristics of compressor are reconized. And the experimental modal analysis is applied to the compressor to identify the noise sourcce. As the results of this study, we come to know that the spring, which is used to reduce vibration, does not reduce vibration efficiently, and compressor shell and its mounting system effect the noise radiation.

MDCT is used to determine how the noise changes as the slice thickness changes. Noise according to thickness of 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mm was analyzed using the Siemens (Somatom Definition Flash, Germany) equipment and calibration conditions such as tube voltage and tube current using the calibration QC phantom. 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mm, respectively. The mean HU was 1.5 mm (7.7 HU), 3.0 mm (4.9 HU) and was reduced by 59.5% from 1.5 mm. 5.0 mm (3.9 HU) and 97.6% compared to 1.5 mm, 10.0 mm (3.1 HU) and 148% less than 1.5 mm. It was found that as slice thickness increased, noise decreased, while slice thickness decreased. In conclusion, setting the appropriate slice thickness for each site may be useful for obtaining appropriate noise and image quality.

Noise emitted by driving cars affects our daily life, penetrating wherever man lives or works. There are three types of possible sound emitting processes that are aerodynamic sources, air pumping and tire vibration. In this paper, a theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation by the surface vibration of running tires and experimental verification has been conducted to evaluate sound radiation characteristic due to tire vibration.

The presented investigation of shift clonk in a vehicle with front-wheel drive shows how a detailed analysis of the complete acoustic system with respect to excitation, transfer and radiation foremost enables possibilities of noise reduction to be worked out. One of the most important basics for the shift clonk analysis was a synchronous measurement of both, torsional vibrations in the drive train on the excitation side as well as airborne and structure-borne noise signals on the transfer and radiation side. Thus, root causes could be identified and improvement measures of the internal shift system could be worked out. An analysis of the transfer paths by means of airborne and structure borne noise measurements made evident that the side shafts were responsible for the disturbing frequencies in the transfer paths. With the help of the FE-simulation it was possible to develop measures of structure optimisation for the side shaft system. The realisation of these measures clearly reduced the shift-noises in the vehicle interior.
