Damping materials for reducing heavy-weight floor impact noise in reinforced concrete structures were tested in apartment buildings. The effect of damping materials and an impact isolator were compared with an on-site experiment conducted in a high-rise apartment building. The loss factor of damping material analyzed more than 2 times than rubber to $1.5{\sim}2.3$, could know that Damping layer has excellent attenuation performance in side of vibration reduction. The results showed that the resonance frequency increased but vibration acceleration level decreased when the damping materials were used. The heavy-weight impact sound levels of the structure decreased substantially at 63 Hz, whereas the sound levels of the structure with the impact isolator increased.

An acoustic total or partial enclosure is widely used to reduce the sound pressure level propagating from a noise source. However, the performance of the acoustic enclosure is decreased by its inherent limitations such as temperature rise or acoustic pressure build-up inside the enclosed acoustic field. In this reason, an acoustic enclosure consisting of a silencer and absobent panels with acoustic resonators is studied to reduce the transmitted noise from a transformer. Large sound-attenuation is expected by applying the enclosure to the large transformers in a substation.

When a virtual sound source for 3D auditory system is reproduced by a linear loudspeaker array, listeners can perceive not only the direction of the source, but also its distance. Control over perceived distance has often been implemented via the adjustment of various acoustic parameters, such as loudness, spectrum change, and the direct-to-reverberant energy ratio; however, there is a neglected yet powerful cue to the distance of a nearby virtual sound source that can be manipulated for sources that are positioned away from the listener's median plane. This paper address the problem of generating binaural signals for moving sources in closed or in open environments. The proposed perceptual enhancement algorithm composed of three main parts is developed: propagation, reverberation and the effect of the head, torso and pinna. For propagation the effect of attenuation due to distance and molecular air-absorption is considered. Related to the interaction of sounds with the environment, especially in closed environments is reverberation. The effects of the head, torso and pinna on signals that arrive at the listener are also objectives of the consideration. The set of HRTF that have been used to simulate the virtual sound source environment for 3D auditory system. Special attention has been given to the modelling and interpolation of HRTFs for the generation of new transfer functions and definition of trajectories, definition of closed environment, etc. also be considered for their inclusion in the program to achieve realistic binaural renderings. The evaluation is implemented in MATLAB.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can automatically mix the screen and sound by tracking the change of the sound data according to the screen change so that the real sound can be implemented in the personal broadcasting service. Since the personal broadcasting service is often broadcasted lively, it should be convenient to have a real-time mixing. Through experiments, it was confirmed that the sound pressure changes in a wide range in the high frequency band related to the clarity for understanding according to the rotation angle change of the screen. Regression analysis of the sound pressure changes at 2kHz, 4kHz, and 8kHz, The attenuation change of sound pressure was observed at the slope of -1.17, the slope of -2.0, and the slope of -2.44 for each frequency. Therefore, these experiment results can be applied to the VR service. This study is expected to be useful data in the implementation of personal broadcasting service.

Directivity control technology of sound system is a key technology for improving sound quality. Providing a line source rather than a point source in an acoustic system can reduce the effects of attenuation interference at long distances, thereby providing high quality sound. In particular, A line-array speaker system can be used to provide coherent, high-quality sound over long distances. However, high frequencies have shorter wavelengths, so the distance between the speakers of a line array system must be shorter, but there are physical limitations. In this paper, we designed a wave guide and installed it in the speaker's compression driver to solve this problem. We measured and tested various acoustic characteristics to verify the performance of the speaker. As a result, when the line array sound system is constructed using the developed speakers, it is possible to provide a line source in all areas including the treble range, thereby achieving the same effect as a single extended source and providing high quality sound up to far distances.

공조덕트계에 소음 챔버를 설치하여 발생되는 음향투과손실을 유한요소법에 의하여 산출하는 방법을 검토하였다. 여기서는 음장내의 네트음향인텐시티를 입사파와 반사파의 인텐시티로 분리하므로서 투과손실의 산출을 가능하게 하였다. 산출방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 형상과 내부흡음조건이 다른 소음챔버를 대상으로 수치해석과 모형실험을 실시한 결과, 양자는 잘 일치하였다.

To get minimum noise level by making full use of the constrained geometric space and being compatible with the minimum pressure-drop condition, 3-pipe through-flow system is designed by inserting a new pipe which is shaped a resonator in the cavity of 2-pipe system. As a result of the 1/3-octave-band frequency analysis for the noise reduction characteristics, this system is proved to have good sound attenuation effect in the high frequency region, so that it is found to be a useful component of a muffler.

The effects of ultrasound in heterogeneous system were investigated in three kinds of ultrasonic systems including a bath-type system (System #1), a double-bath-type system (System #2), and a double-bath-type system partly filled with glass beads (System #3). The ultrasound energy and its attenuation were quantified using calorimetry and the sound pressure measurement method. The sonochemical effects mainly involved in radical oxidation reactions were quantified using KI dosimetry. It was found that ultrasound energy was significantly attenuated in System #2 and #3 due to the presence of solid materials such as a submerged stainless steel reactor and glass beads. However, in spite of low ultrasound energy status, sonochemical oxidation reactions occurred more violently due to the presence of glass beads in System #3. In addition, calorimetry was more adequate to estimate the total energy status of ultrasound in sonoreactors compared to the sound pressure measurement method.

This paper is. a study on relation between road traffic noise(RTN) and sound power level(PWL). At present, many experimental formulae and prediction formulae are used for prediction of RTN. But these formulae are difficult to appiy to the metropolitan area because these formulae are inaccurate in the different condition from reference condition. This paper calculate RTN and PWL of each prediction formula, choose the best one and make a noise map of the subject area. Procedure is as follows. First, calculate $L_{eq}$ of RTN using experimental formulae and prediction formulae. Second, calculate PWL using $L_{eq}$ of RTN and distance attenuation for point source at semi-free field. Third, choose the most accurate formula. And finally, make a noise map of the subject area at present and future. The result using noise map will be able to apply to application field. Noise mapping tool used on this paper is Raynoise program using Ray Tracing Method(RTM), Mirror Image Source Method(MISM) and Hybrid Method(HM).

The noise reducing devices installed on the noise barrier have been developed in many shapes and ways to reduce noise around road traffic areas. In this study, test and estimation method for the noise reducing device witch installed on the top of a noise barrier was suggested. For this, the authors have considered sound power flow around the device and sound pressure levels for the far field area. To estimate the area effect behind the barrier, area average of noise pressure level difference divided by two area, upper and bellow the sight-line. Comparing the attenuation difference of these areas, the tendency of noise reduction effect was studied according to type of noise reducing devices. Compared with noise shielding efficiency of the devices that using equivalent height of a simple barrier calculated by the SoundPlan, the commercial environment noise simulation software.
