In operating test of medium speed diesel engine, the large noise over 110dBA would be occurred, and silencer should be needed to prevent the transmission of noise through exhaust duct. A near neighborhood of medium speed engine test shop, outbreak of low frequency noise was reported. From the result of noise measurement, it was found that the coupling of engine noise and air column between workshops was main cause of annoying low frequency noise. From this study, 3 ways of reformation methods were proposed; insertion of plenum chamber, placement of baffles, and alteration of direction of exhaust. As a result of these modification, low frequency noise was cancelled out.

The cooling system, including a fan is a one of the major sources to generate the radiated noise of construction equipment. Therefore, it is required to reduce the flow noise induced by a fan in order to reduce the noise level. In this study, we made an engine room model to carry out a variety of experiments. And then, the flow noise analysis technique using the CFD code was applied to the cooling system of construction equipment. These analyses results agree well with the measurement results. These results make it possible to understand the flow noise characteristics and to design the low noise cooling system in the design stage.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the noise environment of one-room type multi-family housing around the campus. The field measurements on equivalent noise level of indoor and outdoor were carried out in 6 subject house units during the 26th${\sim}$28th of November 2002. The results are as follows. 1) Outdoor noise levels of 6 subject buildings were distributed 52.8${\sim}$65.3dB(A) and were inappropriate to the standard for environmental noise, 55dB(A). 2) Indoor noise level of 6 subject house units were measured 27.5${\sim}$63.5dB(A). These values were higher than the indoor noise standard (40dB(A)) except subject house D(average 37.6dB(A)). 3) It was found that the differences of indoor noise levels between subject house units were caused by resident's living factor, characteristics of window, and existence of balcony.

In this paper, it is investigated that noise generation mechanism of a rotary compressor using experimental method. The measurement was carried out for primary parameters which influence noise characteristics. By using STFT(short time fourier transform), noise sources of a rotary compressor were identified and vibrating modes that increase the noise are verified. Also, it was studied that the correlation between operating speed and noise. Main factors that affect the variation of noise level were considered by the comparison of the experimental results. In addition, a dynamic characteristic of crank shaft was studied and the critical speed was analyzed.

Ocean noise may be used for monitoring wind speed and rainfall rate on the sea surface, as well as for tracking whales' migration routes. In particular, low-frequency ocean noise has recently been of concern with relation to the behavior of marine mammals. Low-frequency ocean noise has been increasing over the past few decades due to increase of ship traffic and offshore oil industry activities. Mechanical noise such as flow noise and cable strumming noise may be induced if low-frequency ocean noise is measured by cabled traditional hydrophone in high current areas. To successfully measure low-frequency ocean noise in a shallow water environment with strong current, we developed a self-recording hydrophone. This paper describes the main configurations of the self-recording hydrophone and presents some results on measured data.

It seems inevitable for residential buildings to be high-rise and allocated near traffic roads due to the overcrowding in urban area. Acoustic environment in those area has been seriously deteriorated by the increase of traffic vehicles. Commonly used sound barriers have a limitation in controlling noise due to diffraction noise of sound barrier. Hence sound barrier is not effective to attenuate noise especially for the residential units in high level. This work aims at evaluating noise reduction according to the tunnel section shape by using 1/5 scale model. We carried out a number of field measurements for 1/5 scale model of Noise Barrier Tunnel with various sectional shape. The results from predictions and the measurement show generally good agreement.

An accurate railway environmental noise prediction model is required to make the proper solution of the railway noise problems. In this paper, an engineering model for predicting the noise of conventional passenger cars is presented considering the acoustic source strength in octave-band frequencies and the propagation over grounds with varying surface properties. Since the formation of a train can be variable, the source strength of each locomotive and passenger car was estimated by measuring the pass-by noise and analysing the wheel-rail rolling noise. Some validation cases show on the average small differences between the predictions of the present model and the measurement results.

This study proposes an analysis model to simulate a noise map and estimate noise distribution for a location and its surroundings of a power plant. The noise map analysis was executed by using ENPro that is a commercial program for environmental noise prediction. Experimental evaluation for the proposed analysis model was carried out by comparing the results from noise analysis and measurement at several major points of the power plant and residential areas.

High-speed trains with the maximum speed of 300 km/h have started revenue services since April 2004. A large portion of the 'Kyung-Bu' line is comprised of tunnels or bridges, which may cause excessive noise in a vehicle. The vibration generated by the trains propagates into the structure of the tunnel and the vehicle and it can be radiated as noise inside the vehicle interior. This noise can usually be heard as low frequency structure-borne noise. Measurement of the noise and vibration inside the KTX vehicle confirmed that the noise comprises of frequencies below 250 Hz with a couple of broad peaks.
