Priority should be considered to encourage businesses to participate by activating the low-noise machine certification system. However, the domestic low-noise machine certification system has not yet been significantly activated. There is a need for a system that only products that meet the environmental sign certification standards for low-noise construction machinery are recognized as "low-noise machines". A compliance evaluation agency (CAB) in the field of low-noise equipment should be introduced in Korea to help facilitate international certification of domestic company products. Therefore, it is believed that it will help expand the supply of low-noise machines through technology development and export improvement.

In recent years, airport construction projects have been promoted in island regions such as Gadeokdo, Baengnyeongdo, Ulleungdo, and Heuksando. However, a systematic review of the potential impact of aircraft noise transmitted underwater on marine life remains insufficient. This study acoustically analyzes the transmission process of airborne noise generated by aircraft as it passes through the sea surface and enters the underwater environment. The physical mechanisms are examined with a focus on transmission loss, conditions for total internal reflection, and acoustic impedance differences. In particular, the theoretical transmission coefficients of sound pressure and particle velocity at the air–water interface are reviewed and compared to the auditory reception ranges of marine organisms to assess the potential for acoustic impact. The findings of this study can serve as foundational data for establishing coastal and island airport noise management standards and formulating marine ecosystem protection policies.

This study investigated the operation status of major construction machines used in domestic construction sites and analyzed the characteristics of noise generated by these machines. In addition, we tried to understand the impact of construction machine noise on the working environment and the surrounding environment. As a result of the analysis, the noise level of the working breaker was the highest at 101.5 dB(A). This suggests that it can act as a major factor in the spread of noise to the residence around the construction site and the occurrence of civil complaints from residents. Therefore, this study is expected to provide a scientific basis for the noise problem of construction machinery and be used as basic data for effective noise management policies and system improvement.

This study examines the impact of Propeller blade pitch angle mismatch on Noise, thrust, and vibration in light aircraft. Tests were conducted using a simulator with one blade set at increased pitch angles (10°, 12°, 14°) compared to the standard 8°. Results showed that mismatches increased vibration (above 0.26 IPS), Noise levels, and caused operational issues such as fuel leakage and backfire. While thrust initially increased with pitch, it dropped at 14° due to fuel flow instability. These results highlight the need for strict pitch alignment tolerances to ensure optimal performance and safety in aircraft maintenance and operation.

Recently, among the newly developed cities, there has been a development of new towns around existing chemical manufacturing plants. Accordingly, the aim was to understand the impact of factory noise on the residential areas of the newly developed city. To this end, noise from the factories was measured in accordance with the noise measurement methods recommended by the Ministry of Environment, in order to assess the reality of factory noise sources. Additionally, to understand the impact of factory noise on nearby residential areas, noise maps were created and the noise reduction effects were investigated. The purpose of this study is to establish appropriate low-noise measures to address noise complaints around factories.

According to the results of the environmental noise measurement network operated by the Ministry of Environment in 2009, 67% of residential areas exceeded environmental standards during the day, and 82% exceeded during the night. In the case of exclusive residential areas in general districts, 30 cities (67%) exceeded the standards during the day, and 37 cities(82%) exceeded at night. For residential areas along roads, 18 cities(40%) exceeded during the day, and 33 cities(73%) exceeded at night. The Ministry of Environment operates noise and vibration measurement networks for environmental, railway, and aircraft noise, as well as road vibration measurement networks, to assess the noise and vibration status nationwide each year. In this regard, the results of measuring environmental noise in 348 areas across 45 cities nationwide last year showed that many cities in both general exclusive residential areas and residential areas along roads exceeded environmental standards both during the day(67% for general areas, 40% for road areas) and at night(82% for general areas, 73% for road areas). By region, cities such as Hwaseong, Pyeongtaek, Gimpo, and Cheongju showed high noise levels, while Mokpo, Namyangju, Seongnam, and Naju had lower noise levels. The regions with high noise levels were analyzed to reflect phenomena such as population and traffic increases due to regional development. This study aims to expand the noise measurement network in major cities of Jeollabuk-do, where there are relatively few measurement networks, by conducting an environmental noise survey on road traffic noise in Gunsan and Iksan, using it as basic data for establishing noise regulation zones and for the development of environmental noise reduction measures.

NVH(Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) characteristics are critical indicators for evaluating automotive quality and diagnosing mechanical issues through abnormal vibrations during driving. Among various components, tires are the only part of the automotive in direct contact with the road, making them a major source of noise and vibration. Tire-related anomalies not only affect ride comfort but can also pose serious safety hazards. This study presents a diagnostic approach that utilizes NVH analysis, wheel balance inspection, and RFV(Radial Force Variation) measurement to identify and repair tire faults. Through case analysis, it was confirmed that abnormal vibrations caused by internal moisture accumulation and structural deformation of tires could be accurately diagnosed and addressed. The proposed method enables early detection of tire-related issues, providing a preventive maintenance strategy and contributing to enhanced automotive safety and reliability.

As conventional road traffic noise prediction models are designed to estimate long-term representative noise levels, capturing fine-scale noise fluctuations caused by real-world traffic dynamics is challenging. A previous study proposed a microscopic road traffic noise model (MTN) can calculate time-series noise levels with a resolution of 1 s using the concept of a moving noise source. In this study, two experiments were conducted to verify the accuracy of the noise prediction of the model. First, by comparing the calculated noise levels of two conventional road traffic noise models and the MTN in a simple road simulation environment, it was confirmed that the calculation error was within 3 dB(A) when calculating the 1-h equivalent noise level. Second, an experiment was conducted to verify the noise prediction error of the MTN on six actual roads. A comparison of the calculated noise level using the MTN based on traffic data collected from actual roads with the measured noise level on real roads showed that the calculated noise level achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.88 dB(A) from the equivalent noise level and 1.28 dB(A) from the maximum noise level. This was similar to the MAE of the foreign road traffic noise models. However, when the location of the receiver is within 10 m of the road, an error of more than 3 dB(A) occurs because of the simplicity of the MTN propagation model, which remains a problem that must be solved in the future. This study proved that the noise level calculation using the MTN is similar to the noise of an actual road environment. Additionally, the continuous development of the MTN is expected to make it an effective alternative for the management of road noise.

Baengnyeong Airport is under review for construction to improve transportation accessibility in island regions and has passed the preliminary feasibility study. While airport development significantly enhances transportation convenience for residents, it may also cause aircraft noise issues and lead to conflicts within local communities. Previous studies estimated noise impacts based on ATR-42 and Q300 aircraft. However, this study focuses on a more realistic assessment using ATR-72 and E190-E2 aircraft. By utilizing the FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), a projected noise contour map for Baengnyeong Airport was developed. The analysis shows that considering ATR-72 and E190-E2, which generate higher noise levels, provides a more practical evaluation of noise-affected areas. The results indicate that the noise impact is mostly confined within the runway area; however, potential noise complaints may arise from Baengnyeong Island and nearby regions. Based on these findings, this study suggests the need for optimized flight procedures and urban planning measures to mitigate aircraft noise issues.

Ulsan Airport cannot operate precision instrument approach procedures from the south direction (Runway 18) due to obstacles. Even non-precision instrument approach procedures have higher approach angles and minimum descent altitudes (MDA) compared to other airports, which can pose safety risks for pilots following the flight procedures. Recently, since the introduction of SBAS-based satellite navigation flight procedures in Korea, Ulsan Airport is expected to experience improvements, including reduced offsets and lower minimum descent altitudes in its existing flight procedures. During the design process of new flight procedure routes, a comprehensive analysis of noise differences from existing routes and the noise impact on new areas is necessary. Therefore, this study aims to present the changes in aircraft noise resulting from the implementation of new flight procedures using the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT)

I would like to suggest a solution to the problem of aircraft battalion helicopter noise complaints. Among the noise evaluation units, the unit that meets the military helicopter noise evaluation is analyzed and selected to scientifically and reasonably resolve the conflict between residents in the neighboring area and the aviation battalion. Helicopter noise is one of the important problems causing pollution in various pollution problems in the area around the aircraft battalion. The rational and planned process of aircraft battalions will be a way to address aircraft noise pollution.

Bearing-shaft systems are essential components in various automated manufacturing processes, primarily designed for the efficient rotation of a main shaft by a motor. Accurate fault detection is critical for operating manufacturing processes, yet challenges remain in sensor selection and optimization regarding types, locations, and positioning. Sound signals present a viable solution for fault detection, as microphones can capture mechanical sounds from remote locations and have been traditionally employed for monitoring machine health. However, recordings in real industrial environments always contain non-negligible ambient noise, which hampers effective fault detection. Utilizing a high-performance microphone for noise cancellation can be cost-prohibitive and impractical in actual manufacturing sites, therefore to address these challenges, we proposed a convolution neural network-based methodology for fault detection that analyzes the mechanical sounds generated from the bearing-shaft system in the form of Log-mel spectrograms. To mitigate the impact of environmental noise in recordings made with commercial microphones, we also developed a denoising autoencoder that operates without requiring any expert knowledge of the system. The proposed DAE-CNN model demonstrates high performance in fault detection regardless of whether environmental noise is included(98.1%) or not(100%). It indicates that the proposed methodology effectively preserves significant signal features while overcoming the negative influence of ambient noise present in the collected datasets in both fault detection and fault type classification.

This study aimed to evaluate the performance criteria of low-noise asphalt pavements under laboratory conditions. Laboratory tests were performed on eight porous and three non-porous asphalt mixtures. Draindown, Cantabro, tensile strength ratio (TSR), and dynamic stability tests were conducted to evaluate durability. The functionality was assessed using sound-absorption and indoorpermeability- coefficient tests. The laboratory results showed that all mixtures satisfied the quality standards for the draindown and TSR tests. In the dynamic stability test, all the mixtures demonstrated adequate rutting resistance. For porous mixtures, the Cantabro test results indicated sufficient shatter resistance and the indoor-permeability-coefficient test confirmed proper drainage performance. All mixtures exhibited satisfactory sound absorption, with the porous mixtures exhibiting slightly better sound absorption than the non-porous mixtures. Both porous and non-porous mixtures are durable and functional and are used in Korea. Future field tests are required to evaluate the noise reduction performance under different conditions and to compare the in-situ performance results with those from laboratory tests.

This study aimed to analyze the behavioral changes and stress responses of cultured leather carp (Cyprinus carpio nudus) for repeated noise exposure. The acoustic stimulus was composed of twenty sets of one second duration noise with an average noise of 147 dB, which was repeated every five minutes. The behavioral changes of the fish were analyzed immediately after noise exposure, three hours, six hours, twelve hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours later. The stress hormone response was also analyzed and compared through blood collection. It was confirmed that the fish were significantly affected by the noise stimulus and unable to be free or adapt to it untill the end of the experiment. The cortisol concentration was also the highest at 38.2 ug/dL after six hours; the glucose concentration did not decrease over time, indicating that stress was maintained and had a significant effect.

Noise is defined as ‘unwanted sound’ or ‘undesired sound’. Recently, the aviation industry has been rapidly developing through convergence with cutting-edge technologies such as UAM. Accordingly, it is expected that new aviation industry models will continue to be created in Korea. In addition, it is expected that aircraft noise will be raised as a new social problem. The characteristic of aircraft noise is that it has a wide transmission range. Therefore, the area affected by aircraft noise is extensive, and the damage area varies depending on the flight path and flight environment. Additionally, it tends to occur continuously in certain areas. This study is an extension of the previous studies 􋺷Study on noise measurement and analysis of C172 aircraft at Muan Airport􋺸 and 􋺷Study on noise measurement and analysis of SR20􋺸, and investigated the noise characteristics of various piston engine trainer aircraft operated in Korea. We want to measure and analyze noise.

The performance of various types of silencers used to reduce the micropressure waves radiated from ventilation holes and inclined shafts, which are being studied as measures to reduce micropressure waves in railway tunnels, was evaluated to find an effective silencer. In order to find the optimal silencer, the magnitude and frequency characteristics of the pressure waves emitted from the inclined shaft were analyzed to find an excellent silencer. The evaluation showed that the model with a porous cylinder and a small diameter outer tube was the simplest but performed the best.

PURPOSES : This study evaluates the noise reduction effects of various road paving methods and focuses on low-noise pavements as a cost-effective alternative to sound barriers and tunnels. In addition, this study assesses how noise levels vary with vehicle speed across different paving methods. METHODS : An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to evaluate the noise performance of different paving methods, and this followed by a post-hoc analysis to examine the differences among the paving methods. Another ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the impact of speed on noise performance. This ANOVA was followed by a post hoc analysis to assess differences by speed. Finally, a covariance analysis was conducted, using speed as a covariate, to evaluate the noise reduction effects of the various paving methods. RESULTS : The results of the analyses showed that noise levels follow the order of General ≈ Non-draining > Single-layer ≈ Doublelayer, thus grouping the paving methods into two categories with significant differences in noise performance. In addition, the noise levels increased with speed, except at 70 and 80 km/h. The covariance analysis resulted in a regression coefficient of 0.267 for speed across all paving methods. A post-hoc analysis grouped the paving methods into three distinct categories: General, Non-draining ≈ Single-layer ≈ Double-layer, with notable noise differences between them. CONCLUSIONS : The analysis of noise performance showed that both the paving method and speed significantly affected the noise levels. The covariance analysis, using speed as a covariate, revealed a consistent regression coefficient of 0.267 across all the paving methods. After controlling for speed, noise differences were observed. The General method showed higher noise levels than did the Non-draining, Doublelayer, and Single-layer methods.
