Environmental noise occurring on ships has various negative impacts on sailors’ health conditions such as hearing loss, sleep disturbance, psychological stress, etc., so regulations on them are required, but the ship noise regulations are usually applied to only large merchant ships. Although regulations on fishing boats with strong fishing and work intensity are determined to be necessary, there has been little relevant research. This study, therefore, attempted to measure the environmental noise of coastal composite fishing vessels less than two tones and provide the results of basic research on the noise regulations for fishing vessels. It measured them by setting the measurement zones as after side, midship and fore side, and based on the criterion of IMO MSC 337(91). The findings showed that the noise of them often exceeded 75dB(A), the criterion of the open deck noise in the zones in which the load of main engines was increased. In particular, the noise of the stern was as high as 92.2dB(A) during the full ahead. Hence, hearing loss may be caused by such a noise, so a variety of regulations on it are determined to be necessary.

In this study, Noise was measured and its frequency size and characteristics were analyzed in office spaces. In order to improve the noise environment, the sound masking technology was used to extract and apply pink noise-based sound masking content suitable for it to obtain a noise reduction effect by improving the noise environment. As a result of this study, We think that the problem of spatial noise can be further improved and changed by mixing these sound masking systems as noise blocking facilities through appropriate harmony with interior facilities from architectural acoustics to construction. It was confirmed that there is an effect of improving the noise environment not only for blocking or improving external inflow noise, but also for various noises generated indoors, such as call centers.

PURPOSES : While driving, drivers are usually limited in communicating with others except for using the horn. Excessive use of the horn may cause noise pollution, quarrels between drivers and pedestrians, damage, etc. This study developed a methodology for environmental adaptation and improvements of vehicle horns. METHODS: In this study, we performed a literature review of previous studies and related technologies regarding the overuse and damage of the horn. The proposed methodology employed the paired comparison method, as well as the semantic differential method. These methods can consider various vehicle horns, such as the Sport Utility Vehicle(SUV) Horn, Van Horn, and Buzzer. In addition, we conducted a factor analysis in order to provide a direction for improvement of future horns. This research provides a means of complimenting existing intellectual property related to vehicle horns. RESULTS: As a result, the most preferred of the selected horns were the Buzzer at 86.7%. In addition, based on the factor analysis, the horns could be classified into pleasantness and comfort factors. The results indicate a positive reaction for various vehicle horns. The horn type and size of the process control have been properly developed considering the position of the vehicle and the surrounding noise measurements. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the proposed methodology, public and private sectors can use fundamental data for reasonable traffic-noise control policies.

This study estimates environmental noises and noise impacts on surroundings by relocation of military training center from city central to suburb. Devising noise prevention plans are found to diminish harmful influence and to design noise reduction system. The prediction is drawn in each separation distance. The measurement is conducted during shoot exercise by a light machine gun(M60), an assault rifle(K-2), a Panzerfaust 3 and a recoilless rifle. The measured noise is 103dB(A) at shooting range in military training center, that is very high noise level. The characteristic of shooting noise is momentary and impulsive, also high leveled through all frequency band. And the forecast of noise assessment at the intended area exceeds noise criteria. Consequently, civil complaint is highly expected. Therefore, noise control system is needed for firing range. General methodology, such as soundproof box and barrier can reduce noise level at residential area near shooting range, which is anticipated by simulation.

연안 내만에서 행해지고 있는 양식어업, 정치망어업의 생산과 관리를 효율적으로 행할 수 있는 기초 자료를 마련하기 위해 어류의 서식환경 중 물리학적인 환경요소인 유향, 유속, 환경소음과 어류의 분포생태를 원격으로 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하고,1996년 10월부터 1997년 6월까지 경남 장승포시 능포리 소재 능포수산공사 정치망어장에서 원격계측 시스템의 기능, 유향.유속, 수중환경소음과 어군행동에 대하여 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 시험제작한 16비트 마이크로프로세서 칩 (V25, 8 MHz) 인터페이스 보드는 DAS 와 모뎀간의 통신속도 매칭과 패킷 통신용 모뎀의 통신접속제어 기능을 원만히 발휘함으로써 유향ㆍ유속 원격계측시스템의 송신 기능 효과를 더욱 개선할 수 있었다. 2. 정치망어장에서 유향ㆍ유속 원격계측시스템으로 25시 관측한 결과 유속은 낙조시보다 창조시가 약 3 cm/sec 빨랐으며, 유향의 변동폭은 낙조시에는 60˚, 창조시에는 20˚로 창조시에 유향 변동이 작은 현상을 나타내었다. 3. 수중환경소음 원격계측 시스템으로 자정, 일출, 정오에 모두 1.5 KHz를 기점으로 50 Hz~1.5 KHz 범위의 저주파대와 1.5~10 KHz 범위의 고주파수대로 분리되어 나타났으며, 스펙트럼 레벨은 저주파수대에서는 자정에서 정오까지 시간이 경과함에 따라 차츰 높아지는 경향을 나타내었고, 고주파수대에서는 일출시에는 높았으나 정오에는 다시 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 4. 원격어군탐지기로 측정한 정치망 원통 내에서의 멸치어군은 야간에는 1~2m 층으로 하강하고 일출과 함께 상승하기 시작하여 주간에는 주로 표층에 머물고 있는 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 정치망 이장 부근에서는 유향과 유속은 조석간만의 차에 따라 변하며, 수중환경소음도 그 스펙트럼 레벨이 유향, 유속에 따라 다소 변화됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 어군의 수직 분포와 물리적 환경 요소와의 상관은 다소의 영향은 인지되었으나 명확한 상관관계를 규명할 수 는 없었으므로 다른 환경요인과 함께 분석하여야 규명될 것으로 예상된다.

This paper describes that air noise and underwater noise in the Somjin Estuary are measured and analysed to get the basic data to find out the influence of environment on the underwater. The results obtained are summerized as follows: 1. The spectrum level of air noise in the Somjin Estuary increases until 500Hz, and decreases a little over 2KHz. 2. The spectrum level of underwater noise in the Somjin Estuary increases from 50 Hz to 1 KHz, but it decreases over 1 KHz as the depth is deeper. 3. When the influence of other factors is scarce but the influence of flowing speed is significant, the noise level seems to be higher at speedy layer than at slower layer. 4. The underwater sound level seems to be wider at speedy layer than at slower layer.

A number of problems associated with environmental noises in urban areas have significantly been considered. Specific measurement and estimation of the environmental noise became a primary issue in local governments. Environmental noise monitoring system is required in order to estimate and verify the a city noise map. However, current monitoring positions may not perfectly represent and incorporate many different view points, such as districts of a city, different utilizations of a city by the law, populations, and classifications and traffics of roads. In addition, scientific method to provide specific noise monitoring positions my not be avaliable in current literature. For this reason, the primary objective of this paper is to propose a new method for introducing a number of monitoring positions in the entire city. First, the quality function deployment (QFD) method was utilized to simultaneously represent both districts and utilizations of a city. Second, a new algorithm to find a number of monitoring positions was proposed by compromising many different view points: populations, classifications of roads and areas, and traffics of roads. Finally, the proposed monitoring positions and a sample noise map was provided for verification purposes. Based on these results, the proposed algorithm including the QFD concept may successfully provide specific noise monitoring positions by simultaneously consider may different view points and requirements of a city.

연안 경비함정의 선상근무 환경은 육상근무 환경에 비하여 매우 열악하여 선상근무 기피와 성원고령화의 원인이 되고 있다. 특히 선박내 소음은 난청과 같은 직업병을 유발시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 안락한 선상근무 환경 및 거주 환경의 확보를 통하여 선상근무 피로도를 경감시키는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 선박내 소음 및 진동의 실선 계측을 통하여 선상근무 환경을 체계적으로 평가한다. 그리고 선상근무 환경의 평가 결과에 기초하여 선상근무 피로도 경감대책을 제안한다

To develop managing guidance of occupational noise exposure for metal working facility, we have studied about drafting contour map of noise exposure, methods of noise assessment and actual calculation method of time weighted noise exposure. Therefore we have suggested that contour maps of noisy workplace are very important for controlling metal working fluid facility and two kinds of noise assessment method, so called, personal and static exposure are necessary to avoid argument between workers and managing group. Finally we would like recommend that the Korean specfication of noise exposure should be modified to protect ONIHL(occupational noise induced hearing loss).
