In this study, we estimated the effect of the traffic noise in urban area using the LiDAR data. The propagation of noise has a strong relationship between distance and shape of surface. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the distribution of buildings for estimating noise assessment in urban area because noise propagations will be affected by buildings. For this, we were developed DEM and DBM using the LiDAR data in order to analyze the propagation of traffic noise precisely in urban area. The level of traffic noise were calculated by investigating the real volume of traffic in study area. The SoundPLAN S/W and RLS90 algorithm was used for traffic noise assessment.

This study performed an physical analysis on the characteristics of urban environmental sound divided into three parts depending on their features. Object sounds were classified into traffic sound, waster sound and spatial sound. Traffice sound was selected because it is dominant sound in urban environment, and water sound is selected because it generally supplies pleasantness in contrast to traffic sound, Finally spatial sound was considered because it represents sound in various places of city having lots of behaviors and types of sound due to them. Physcal analysis was carried out using sound quality indices based on Zwicker's loudness, $L_{Aeq}$(equivalent noise level), Ln(percentile noise level) and other acoutical attributes applied to previous study. Through the analysis, this study aims to compare the acoustical characteristics of urban environmental sound and to provide fundamental data for the evaluation of urban environmental sound.

Noise map is becoming an increasingly important tool supporting noise policy. In order to main am a quiet environment of urban areas, noise map was developed by using GIS technique which combines geographic and noise informations with a database management system. By evaluating various methods of the spatial anal: sis, it was concluded that the inverse distance weighted method gave the best results and was applied to develope the noise maps of road noise.

Reduction of noise level in the cabin of urban transit unit is an important issue to enhance the comfortability of passengers. It is made clear that a cause of increased noise level in cabin is the imperfect airtightness of entrance doors. In this study, the sliding-plug door system is developed to reduce the noise level of cabins by securing the airtightness of entrance door. The sliding-plug door system is composed of air-driven engine, swing arms, guide rails, guide rollers and locking devices. It is economical owing to using the previous door engine system. It is also adequate for the platform system of our subway station. It was tested to prove the reliability of system and was applied to standard urban transit unit. The effectiveness of noise reduction in cabin resulting form the sliding-plug door system was confirmed by test results.

This paper describes the impact of reflected sound in tunnel. The impact of reflected sound is obtained from making a comparision between measurements of tunnel and bridge. Sound level of tunnel is higher than that of bridge because reflected sound is generated in tunnel. Road traffic noise cannot be freely propagated because there are many buildings in urban. Therefore, a tunnel effect is generated in urban road. The impact of reflected sound is generated not only in tunnel, but also in urban road. This study provides the basic data for tunneling work and noise control strategy in urban road.

This study presents plans to prevent environmental noise by using noise maps when establishing development projects and targets strategic environment assessments for urban master plans and environmental impact assessment for urban development projects. Strategic environment assessments for urban master plans include the examination of plan validity and location appropriateness in consideration of the effect of environmental noise by comparing development plans with noise maps, and the establishment of long-term measures through comprehensive assessment of present noise conditions and noise effects from development plans. Environmental impact assessments for urban development projects propose enforcement plans, including analysis of present noise conditions around development areas, overall evaluation of present noise conditions and the noise effect from development projects, and selection of optimal measures by comparing noise maps with various alternatives.

The concrete track system on domestic urban transit has being constructed since 1974. Because a maintenance and repair of concrete track system is convenient, a construction is increased. The concrete track system on domestic urban transit is constructed 71.8% of total track system length and constructed variously, for example STEDEF, LVT, ALT and so on. Recently, railway noise is issued as environment problem. The method for mitigation of urban transit noise is required. In this study to study noise characteristics on concrete tracks we measured noise by concrete track types and analysis the result.

As a part of acoustical design, it is often necessary to quantify aspects of an existing environment and to predict the result of adding an acoustical treatment. The most common sources of exterior noise, also termed as environmental noise,(or community noise) are traffic noise, air craft noise, industrial noise, etc. Transportation(air, road, and rail)noise is the dominant and most common source of noise exposure in residential neighborhoods, and the annoyance is its most consequential effect. The road traffic noise becomes aggravated due to the rapid increase of vehicles. It has a great effect on the dwelling environment. Therefore we investigate the characteristics and sources of the road traffic noise through grasping the status of the road traffic noise. In the present study, preceding studies investigated the noise level of urban areas in Seoul were reviewed and the noise level of urban areas in Seoul was measured at first, fifth, tenth, and nineteenth floor for two days of weekdays and two days of weekend.

Recently, the number of passengers using urban railway has been increased by reasons of the reductions of car use due to high fuel prices and the enlightenment about the environment. Above all, the noise and the vibration coming from the friction between the wheel and the rail of trains in operation which is not only a factor that hinders riding comforts but causes civil complaints. Furthermore, the noise has become social issues from tightening the relevant regulations by the government since January 2010. Although ballasted tracks were constructed on urban railways at the time of opening, they have been changed into slab tracks because slab tracks require much less maintenance. However, in view of sound absorptivity of track, slab tracks have 10 times less capability than ballasted tracks(ballasted track : 0.5~0.6/slab tracks : 0.06) results more noise than that of ballasted tracks as much as 3dB(A) since slab tracks emit more reflection noise. Therefore, in order to minimize reflection noise on slab tracks, noise abatement system has been developed as a national R&D program to apply on-site test. It is assumed that the construction technology developed in this study can be used not only as basic data for the on-site test for the noise reduction in urban railway but as an efficient construction method.

Since 1970's rapid urbanization and economic growth, the population was highly increased and residential type was changed from single detached house to high density and high-rise apartment. Recently more high-rise residential building generates more traffic volumes and it makes spatial concentration. The highly traffic volumed road and high residential building was constructed nearby, it occurs noise problem. The purpose of this study is comparing the performance of three type noise barrier between noise source and receiver using a noise map simulation. Three types were composed as road side planting trees, building side planting trees and noise barrier wall. Planting trees is less effective than noise barrier wall as a noise barrier. And they are all effective under 3 stories than over 5 stories, especially noise barrier function can't work over 5 stories.
