The printer sound has many aspects which define its quality because the printer has lots of components and its operation is very complicated. These sound qualities are related to the international competition in printer markets. Recordings inside anechoic chamber were analyzed and a large number of sounds were stimulated using digital signal processing technique. First subjective tests of the printer sound were conducted using semantic different method. By applying factor analysis to the subjective response, two important factors of sound quality were extracted. Second subjective tests were conducted to evaluate the quietness and the impulsiveness of the printer sounds. On the other hand, sound metrics are calculated applying psychoacoustic theories. In this paper, the nonlinear relation between subjective evaluation and sound metrics was identified using artificial neural network and the printer sound quality index was developed. Later, subjective sound quality evaluation will be estimated and evaluated using this index.

Vehicles experience the impact due to harsh road conditions. Contact with a barrier on a road induces vehicles to vibrate, which brings about an impact sound. The attenuation of the impact sound is an important issue since passengers may complain about the impact noise. However, the perfect removal of impact noise is not possible as most of impact noise is caused by external conditions. It is thus necessary to make vehicles to possess more desirable sound quality characteristic of impact sound. More research is needed on objective attributes of impact sound; it is not a simple matter since impact noise is transient in nature and has a high level of sound at an instantaneous moment. A new objective attribute of impact noise is designed by using wavelet transform. Wavelet transform is appropriate for the analysis of transient signals such as impact noise. The usefulness of new objective attribute, which is a sound metric, is examined by comparison with the mean subjective rating for real impact noise of passenger cars. The new sound metric has better correlation with the mean subjective rating than already existing sound metrics

This study is a fundamental investigation for standardization of the heavy-weight floor impact measuring method by the impact ball. The distribution chrematistics of floor impact sound level and reverberation time in a receiving room of the testing building for floor impact sound were measured with variations of number and arrangement of the sound-absorbing materials. Total 8 cases were investigated. The distribution of the floor impact sound level($L_{i,\;Fmax}$) was measured at 30 points with same intervals. The absorption coefficient of the room is 0.10 in case of installation of 6 absorbing materials and 0.02 in case of non-installation. The distribution shape of the impact sound pressure level was similar to the result of the bang machine driving at the measured frequency range. However, the overall reduction of the impact sound level investigated in the 125 to 500 Hz shows that the sound absorption characteristics of the receiving room actually affects the result of the heavy-weight impact measurement.

AV시스템에서 현실적인 사운드 효과를 만들기 위한 연구가 계속 진행되고 있다. 스테레오 AV시스템의 스피커의 간격은 좁고, 공간감 있는 효과를 내기 위한 넓은 음상이 필요하다. 음상의 방향은 두 채널 사이의 음압 레벨 차와 위상 지연에 상관성이 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 음원의 주파수와 관계 있는 음상의 방향과 위상 지연의 관계를 해석한다. 또한 순음이 정취자의 전방에 대칭적으로 배치된 두 개의 스피커를 통해 재생될 때, 한목 채널의 신호의 음상과 위상을 기준으로 하여 다른 채널 신호의 음압과 위상을 변화시켜 스피커의 위치보다 넓은 방향에 음상을 정위시키는 모델을 제안하고 모의 실험을 하였다.

The sound insulation performance is one of the important factor that determined the amenity of housing life in residential building. Especially, Apartment house represents a korea habitation. So the importance of privacy and noise problems between habitable rooms are emphasized in these habitation. This study investigates and find a problem of sound insulation performance of partition wall of the apartment house in current state. The measurements were carried out in apartment house with and without a stair hall. And the measurements also carried out in current state and installing a sound absorbing material in receiving room and changing a front door and installing a inner door. In spite of the same partition wall, difference results were showed according to the stair hall. It is appeared that sound insulation performance without stair hall is 6-7dB(Dw) higher than that with stair hall. In case of without stair hall, sound insulation performance is Dw 49 for single number quantity for airbone sound. And In case of changing a front door and installing a inner door sound insulation performance is Dw 57 for single number quantity for airbone sound. The Results of measuring on the changes a front door and installed a inner door indicated that the flanking sound through front door influenced the sound insulation performance.

In our life, we have used many digital appliances. They help us to improve the quality of life but sometimes give us unsatisfactory result. Because they produce specific noise. Especially vacuum cleaner produce much noise that is very annoying. So we need to study what sound metrics affect human sensibility. In this paper, we develop sound quality index for vacuum cleaner using the sound quality metrics defined in psychoacoustics. First, we carry out the subjective evaluation of vacuum cleaner sound to verify what vacuum sound feels good to human. And then artificial neural network estimated the complexity and the nonlinear characteristics of the relations between subjective evaluation and sound metrics. Finally the ANN is trained repeatedly to have a good performance for sound qualify index of the vacuum cleaner. As a result, the sound quality index of vacuum cleaner has a correlation of $93.5\%$ between the subjective evaluation and ANN. So, there exist three factors that Is loudness, sharpness, roughness which affect the sound quality of vacuum cleaner.

Recent development in multi-channel surround is emerging in various formats to provide better stereoscopic and sound effects to consumers in recent broadcasting. The ability sound localize the sound sources in space is most considerable design factor on multi-channel surround system for human earing perception model. However, this paper propose the change of the sound localization according to the spacing of the speakers, which is not covered in the existing research focus on sound system design. Presently the sound system uses the position and number of the speakers to localize the sound. In the multi-channel surround environment, the proposed design uses the sound localization is caused by the directional characteristics of the speaker, the distance between the speakers and the distance between the listener and the speaker according to the directivity is required. The proposed design is simulated using virtual measurement with MATLAB simulation environment and performances are measured.

The 1st assessment(performance test) was applied to assure the floor impact sound performance for developing the dry double-floor with the change of rubber hardness of the upper panel's support and the ceiling structure of the sub-floor. Depends on the change of the rubber hardness in sub-structure, the heavy-weight sound impact value is improved up to 3 dB, and the light-weight sound impact value is moved up to 21 dB, comparing with the bare-slab. Also, the improved value for the floor impact sound conjugating with the sub-floor's ceiling was 5 dB. Based on this result, the 2nd assessment(performance test) was made the state that the rubber hardness of the sub-floor support was ranged between 50 and 70 for considering the stability of walking patients. In addition to this process, the assessment was carried out with a variety of ceiling structure applied to the dry double-floor structure with the air flow system on the sub-floor's ceiling. The result for the 2nd assessment proved that TYPEII-3 had the better sound reduction performance in the heavy-weight impact sound test than other types, and also for the light-weight impact sound TYPEII-3 had the 29 dB sound reduction performance overall. Henceforth, based on the result the research for the sound reduction performance from the floor impact sound shall be ongoing process as well as the development of a double-dry floor and a sound reduction ceiling to suitable on the field.

본 논문에서는 가상환경에서 사운드 몰입을 개선시키기 위한 회절 기반의 사운드 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 물리적 환경에서 사운드의 파동과 흐름 그리고 회절과 유사한 패턴을 실시간으로 표현할 수 있다. 우리의 접근 방식은 사운드 근원지로부터 장애물이 있는지 판단을 한 뒤, 장애물로 인해 굴절과 회절된 새로운 사운드의 위치를 계산한다. 레이트레이싱 기반으로 장애물과의 충돌 여부를 판단하고, 충돌에 의해 반사와 굴절된 벡터를 이용하여 장애물 너머에 있는 에이전트에게 들리는 사운드의 크기를 예측한다. 이 과정에서 반사와 굴절된 레이의 개수에 따라 사운드의 크기를 감쇠시켜 거리와 재질에 따른 사운드 감쇠를 모델링한다. 결과적으로 물리 기반 접근법에서 표현되는 회절 패턴을 실시간으로 표현했으며, 장애물의 위치가 변경됨에 따라 회절 패턴도 변경됨을 보여주고, 이에 따라 사운드의 크기가 자연스럽게 확산되는 결과를 보여준다. 제안하는 방법은 현실에서 표현되는 소리의 확산과 회절 특징을 거의 유사하게 복원해냈다.
