1984, 85, 87년에 걸쳐 7~8월에 부산402호(380GT, 850PS)를 이용하여 한국동해안 주요항구 입구와 외해에서 해중소음과 선박기관소음의 해중음압 분포와 그 음의 스펙트럼 특성을 해황별로 환경소음과 선박기관진동소음으로서 비교.검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 풍속 0~2m/sec일 때 깊이 5m층에서의 환경소음의 음압준위는 부산 동항에서는 108dB, 부산 남항에서는 106dB, 구룡포항에서는 101dB로서 항내에 소음원이 많을 때는 높고, 그렇지 않을 때는 낮았다. 한반도와 울릉도 중간의 외해에서는 다같이 100dB로서 항구 부근보다 낮았다. 또 외해에 있어서 깊이에 따른 음압의 분포는 깊이 20m, 70m 층에서는 5m층에서 보다 1~2dB 낮고, 100m층 이하에서는 100dB로 거의 일정했다. 2. 풍속 10~15m/sec일 때, 외해에서의 환경소음의 음압준위는 5m층에서 108dB이고 그 후 점차 낮아져 70m 층에서 100dB이며, 그 이하에서는 100dB로 모두 같았다. 선박기관진동소음의 음압준위는 깊이 5, 50, 100, 150, 200m층에서 각각 146, 125, 112, 110, 104dB로서 깊어짐에 따라 점차 낮아졌다. 3. 풍속 10~15m/sec일 때 외해의 깊이 5m층에서 10Hz, 100Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz의 주파수대에 있어서의 스펙트럼 레벨은 해중소음이 각각 86, 75, 61, 32dB, 선박진동소음이 각각 105, 95, 86, 55dB로서 후자가 전자보다 20dB 정도 높았다. 200m층에 있어서는 전자가 80, 68, 47, 26dB, 후자가 82, 70, 59, 31dB로서 후자가 전자보다 4dB 정도 높았다.

The underwater observation of the ambient noise and the noise generated by the engine revolution in a ship was carried out in July to August, 1984, 1985 and 1987, near around some ports and in the Eastern Sea of Korea. Vertical distribution of the sound pressure of both noises were observed and the spectrum characteristics were analysed and compared. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Sound pressure level of the ambient noise at 5m deep layer in calm sea condition (wind speed 0-2m/s) near around the ports were observed as 108dB at the eastern part of Pusan port, 106dB at the southern part of Pusan port and 101dB at Kuryongpo port. It shows that the level near around the large port which contains much noisy resources is higher than the small port. The level at 5m deep layer in the open sea, in the mid-region between Korean Peninsula and Ulnung Island was observed as 100dB. It mean that the level in the open sea is lower than that around the ports. The level at 20m and 70m deep layer were 1-2dB lower than that at 5m deep layer, and that at deeper layer than 100m was almost constantly 100dB around. 2. Sound pressure level of the ambient noise at 5m deep layer in windy open sea condition (wind speed 10-15m/s) was 108dB, and was gradually decreased in accordance with the increase of depth with representing 100dB at 70m deep layer and that at deeper layer was almost constantly 100dB. The level of the noise generated by engine revolution was 146, 125, 112, 110, 104dB at 5, 50, 100, 150 and 200m deep layer respectively. It means that the level decrease with the depth. 3. Spectrum level of the ambient noise at 5m deep layer with the frequency band of 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 KHz, 10 KHz, in the windy sea condition were 86, 75, 61, 32dB respectively and the level of the noise generated by engine revolution was 105, 95, 86, 55dB respectively. It means that the latter are about 20dB higher than the former. The level of the former at 200m deep layer was 80, 68, 47, 26dB and the latter 82, 70, 59, 31dB. It means that the latter are about 4dB higher than the former.
