Since human listening is very sensitive to sound, a subjective index of a sound quality is required. Therefore, in the analysis for each situation, the sound evaluation is composed with sound quality factor. Many researchers spends their effort to make a more reliable and more accurate of sound in term of sound quality index for various system noise. In this study a reliable index is constructed and analyzed using correlation analysis, regression analysis and weighting factor for each sound quality factor. We have made the sound quality index that agrees with more than human subjective sensitivity which apply to various sound quality metrics. Also we applied a 'grade' metric to jury for sound evaluation, analyzed relation between sound duality index and sound quality grade. Then we will judge the sound quality level according to the sound quality grade scheme.

Pitch is a perception related to the subjective frequency that is one of the psychological aspects or attributes of tones. It is also an important factor to determine the sound quality together with loudness and timber. Although the study on pitch has been active in the field of speech communication, but its application to the product sound quality is not yet enough. In this study, the empirical data by Zwicker is made use in the modification of the currently available pitch extraction model based on the place theory. By applying this modified model to various sound samples composed of tonal or banded components, the applicability of the model is suggested. As a demonstration example, the algorithm is used for the sound quality analysis of a product noise having fundamental frequency and harmonics. The result shows that the pitch should be regarded as an important subjective cue in the sound quality analysis.

In this study, there is an investigation about the sound quality of automotive horn that attached to luxury sedans. In order to define a questionnaire of horn sound quality the factor analysis is conducted. Ten automotive horns are selected for this research and ten passenger cars(nine is luxury sedan and one economy class car). Luxury is used for the questionnaire as an attribute for the sound quality of car horn. The interior noises for ten test cars are recorded and used for the subjective analysis of car horn sound. In the paper, new sound metric for the car horn sound is presented. The new sound metric is used for the objective sound index for the prediction of subjective sound quality of car horn.

The impact sound of the golf club is one of the major factors to purchase it. Sound quality metrics has been mostly developed for harmonic sounds. Sound quality evaluation techniques for the impact sound have been contrived in this study. Jury test, one of the typical subjective evaluation scheme, is carried out for evaluating the sound quality of 13 different golf drivers, which classification results are assumed to be correct answers. Conventional objective evaluation methods such as Zwicker loudness sensory pleasantness are calculated. Wavelet analysis and instantaneous loudness are applied in order to evaluate the sound quality of transient sounds, which scheme shows better correlation with the results from jury test.

With the increasing the importance of emotional quality of vehicle, the sound quality of systems with electric motor components has become increasingly important. Electric motors are used for windows, seats, sun roof, mirrors, steering columns, windshield wiper, climate control blowers, etc. In this paper, a study was conducted to identify sound quality factors that contribute to customer's satisfaction and preference of the window lift system. Jury test for subjective evaluation was carried out and sound quality index was developed. Averaged sound pressure level and sharpness were significant factors when glass moves down. Also, maximum loudness at stop section and averaged loudness were significant factor when glass moves up. Noise source identification was carried out for the reduced the loudness and sharpness during glass transferred section and impulsive noise at stop section, Using the source identification result, several improvement points were applied. And finally, the degree of sound quality improvement was judged using sound quality index.

본 연구의 목적은 자동차오디오에서 재생된 음향의 음질에 대한 청취자의 주관적인 선호도를 객관화된 설문 등을 통하여 측정하고 그 결과를 통계적으로 분석하여 일반화시키는 것이다. 직교배열법을 사용하여 여덟 가지 음향특성들의 조합으로 이루어진 음향 환경을 객관적으로 재현하였으며, SD 7점 척도를 사용하여 청취자의 주관적 음질 선호도를 객관화시켰다. 재생된 음향의 음질에 대한 여러 청취자들의 선호도를 다변량 분산분석법을 이용하여 분석한 후, 일반적으로 전체 음질의 선호도를 결정짓는 음향특성을 찾아냈으며, 각각의 음질 선호도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 개별 음향 특성을 찾아내었다.

Sound quality engineering in automobile noise applications has become more and more important under the current quiet driving condition because various noise components masked under high noise level can be audible in quieter driving situation. Many researches have been carried out for subjective and objective assessments on automobile sounds and noises. In particular, the interior sound quality has been one of research fields that can give high-quality feature to automobile products. Although many works related to the interior sound quality have been progressed or completed in foreign countries, limited research results are presented in the country. In the study, subjective assessments are first performed with 20 subjects to select perceptual adjectives suitable to the assessment of car interior noises during acceleration. The selected perceptual adjectives are employed as the assessment scales to evaluate the acceleration noises in questionnaire procedures using 35 subjects, for which several noises are created through digital filtering of the acceleration noises measured. Mean values and standard deviations for subjective assessment scores obtained by the questionnaire procedures are calculated and their reliability are also verified. Finally, various statistical analyses such as the correlation analysis and the factor analysis are carried out to reveal the interrelationship between the assessment scales and the spectrum components of the acceleration noises.

In this paper, an index for the evaluation of a vehicle intake booming noise and intake sound quality were developed through a correlation analysis and a multiple factor regression analysis of objective measurement and subjective evaluation data. At first, an intake orifice noise was measured at the wide-open throttle test condition. And then, an acoustic transfer function between intake orifice noise and interior noise at the steady state condition was estimated. Simultaneously, subjective evaluation was carried out with a 10-scale score by 8 intake noise and vibration expert evaluators. Next, the correlation analysis between the psychoacoustic parameters derived from the measured data and the subjective evaluation was performed. The most critical factor was determined and the corresponding index for intake booming noise and sound quality are obtained from the multiple factor regression method. And, the optimal design of intake system was studied using the booming noise and the sound quality evaluation index for expectation performance of intake system. Conclusively, the optimal designing parameters of intake system from noise level and sound quality whose point of view were extracted by adapting comparative weighting between the booming noise and sound quality evaluation index, which optimized the process. These work could be represented guideline to system engineers, designers and test engineers about optimization procedure of system performance by considering both of noise level and sound quality.

Today, the use of a vacuum cleaner gave us the higher quality of life than past time, but sometimes made us w1comfortable in the house because of the specific noise that is annoying. So we need to study how sound absorbtion materials affect sound power level and sound quality with sound metrics. In this paper, we will measure and calculate sound power level for vacuum cleaner and analyze characteristics of the noise for 10 Signals according to materials positioned in vacuum cleaner. The multiple regression analysis can estimate the nonlinear characteristics of relation between subjective evaluation and sound metrics. So we will develop sound quality index for vacuum sound.

본 논문에서는 심리음향학적 연구 방법론을 음악의 작품 분석에 적용하여 음악의 매개체인 소리에 내재된 주관성을 객관화하고자 한다. 먼저, 대표적인 표제음악인 베를리오즈의 '환상교향곡'에서 18개의 샘플음원을 추출한 다음 쯔비커의 음질 파라메터(Loudness, Sharpness, Roughness, Fluctuation Strength)를 이용해서 샘플음원의 객관적 음질을 평가하였다. 주관적 음질 평가를 위하여 환상교향곡의 표제성을 기초로 9개의 대표 음질형용사를 추출한 다음 수치등급평가법과 쌍대비교법을 사용하여 1차 청음평가를 수행하였다. 1차 청음평가결과의 요인분석법을 통하여 "밝은", "시끄러운", "현실적인"의 세 가지 음질을 추출하였다. 세 가지 음질 형용사를 사용하여 2차 청음평가를 수행하고 그 결과를 객관적 음질 파라메터와 상관분석을 수행하여 음질지표를 개발하였다.
