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.

Noise is a sound that humans do not want. In this study, noise is measured for C172, the most frequently used general aviation trainer in Korea and abroad. In addition, in this study, noise measurement points are selected for Muan Airport, where most of the domestic training aircraft fly under the supervision of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Based on this, the measured data is scaled and analyzed. In addition, we intend to analyze what characteristics C172 aircraft have unique through frequency analysis of noise of C172. Through this, it is intended to understand what type of noise training aircraft affect in future studies.

Currently, many complaints have been filed by local residents on helicopter noise while the law on noise prevention and damage compensation at military airfields and military ranges has been in effect since November 27, 2020. The airfields operated by state agencies are inevitably used to defend the country, defend the country, and protect the lives of the people, but various efforts are needed to minimize noise complaints. In general, helicopters operating in a specific area exhibit different noise frequencies depending on the number or size of wings for each type, takeoff speed, and takeoff altitude. Therefore, by measuring and analyzing noise in the take-off stage of a number of helicopters operating in a specific area, this study aims to present more effective noise prevention measures by analyzing the compliance of each type of helicopter with variables such as take-off speed, take-off altitude, and rise rate. Therefore, the results of this study will be significant in terms of resolving complaints and reducing compensation expenditures of local residents around the airport.

The main noise of a large machine can be divided into the noise generated during the work process and the noise of the equipment used in the work. The main noise in the noisy area is the air propagation sound caused by the operation of the rotating body. This is not fixed, but changes depending on the situation at the time of measurement. Workplaces exposed to noise can harm workers' health and cause related industrial disasters, resulting in many complaints and social problems, and eventually lead to a lot of damage in terms of productivity. Large machines that need noise reduction the most are motors, pumps, fans, blowers, and compressors. To reduce noise, mechanical structure or material changes are most effective. In this study, the noise reduction method and noise management method of large machines were investigated. To measure noise, the same method as ISO 3744 in Europe and JISA 8305 in Japan was used as KS A ISO 3744, KS A ISO 3746, which is a method of measuring the acoustic power level of machinery.

Due to the development of the industry, the machinery of plant facilities becomes large and operates at high speed and high power. Workers at plant facility sites are exposed to high noise and impact noise, and the number of people with noise-induced hearing loss is increasing every year. Therefore, in order to minimize such damage, many efforts have been made to reduce the noise of large machines in production facilities. Measures, education, and recommendation of wearing hearing protectors are needed to protect the hearing of workers in high noise industries. In addition, it is urgent to reduce noise sources by blocking noise propagation paths, such as installing noise boxes and silencers, and installing facilities and equipment that generate less noise. It is necessary to repair the noise reduction device of the large machine of the plant or to study the noise reduction device when designing the plant.

블록 매칭 및 3D 필터링(BM3D) 알고리즘은 단일 필터의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 non-local means 기반으로 만들 어진 융합형 노이즈 제거 알고리즘이다. 하지만, 그 수식 인자의 조절에 관한 연구는 이루어지지 않고 있어 본 연구에서는 자기공명영상에서 발생하는 Rician 노이즈를 제거하기 위해 BM3D 알고리즘의 평활화 정도를 결정하는 노이즈 전력 스펙 트럼 밀도(noise power spectrum density,  )에 대한 최적화를 진행하고자 하였다. MRiLab 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이 용하여 뇌 조직을 모사할 수 있는 뇌척수액(cerebrospinal fluid, CSF)/회색질(gray matter, GM)/백질(white matter, WM) 팬텀의 T1 강조영상을 획득하였고, 노이즈 레벨이 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 그리고 0.3인 Rician 노이즈를 각각 부가 한 후, BM3D 알고리즘의  값을 0.01부터 0.99까지 0.01씩 증가시키며 각각의 노이즈가 부가된 영상에 적용하였다. 정량 적 평가를 통해 최적화 값을 선정하기 위하여 CSF, GM, WM, 그리고 배경 영역에 관심 영역을 설정한 후 조직별 신호 대 잡음비(signal to noise ratio, SNR), 총 변동계수(coefficient of variation, COV), 그리고 평균 제곱근 오차(root mean square error, RMSE)를 측정하였다. 결과적으로, 조직별로 계산된 SNR, COV, 그리고 RMSE를 종합적으로 평가 했을 때 모든 조직에서 노이즈 레벨 0.1부터 0.3까지 증가함에 따라  값 또한 함께 증가하는 경향이 나타났으며 일정  값 이상에서는 노이즈뿐만 아니라 영상신호까지 함께 제거되어 개선 폭이 감소하는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 노이즈 레벨에 따라 각각 0.09, 0.13, 0.17, 0.21, 그리고 0.25의  값이 설정된 BM3D 알고리즘이 적용되었을 때 가장 합리적인 영상 특성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 효과적인 노이즈 제거를 위해서 고정된 값이 아닌 노이즈 레벨에 따른 적합한 값을 적용해야 함을 증명할 수 있었다.

The waterpower generation of the dam generates electricity by revolving the turbine through a water pipe using the difference of high/low of water, the revolving turbine makes an occurrence a terribly loud noise. Accordingly, in the water turbine generator room located on such hydroelectric generator, since a mutual communication is not establish properly when working, they are suffering many difficulties, and it is real state that such noise damages even to those workers in the office of power plant. Since the most of dam water turbine generator room built in domestic country had used the finishing materials of a huge volume and a high reflexibility, it is carrying more amplifying function with the turbine noise arising when generates the electricity. Therefore, there is not only a difficulty for mutual communication among those workers in the workplace, but also it becomes an obstruction factor for working even to the workers in the adjacent office, and because they are suffering the mental and physical damages, it is actual state that a noise-reduction measure is urgently needed. As a result of the study, on the object with the dam hydraulic turbine dynamo room in which an acoustic defect is being occurring, this Study has conducted the Psycho-Acoustics Experiment about the Delivery of Voice Information using Auralization Technique that can experience the Virtual Acoustic Field. It is considering that such study result could be used usefully for improvement of the Voice Definition when construction the dam hydraulic turbine dynamo room, in the future.

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 : The exposed aggregate concrete pavement (EACP) is adopted to achieve low traffic noise and long-term skid resistance in European countries such as Belgium and Germany. In Korea, it is first introduced at the Myeon Cheon field site in 2010. It reduces 3 dB(A) from tire–pavement noise compared with transverse tining. Recent investigations show that EACP can reduce tire–pavement noise by an additional 5 dB(A) compared with transverse tining. In this study, the tire–pavement interaction noise of EACP is compared with that of conventional pavements such as asphalt pavement, next-generation concrete surfaces (NGCS), and transverse tining. METHODS : EACP is constructed at two field sites on the SOC research center and Yeo-Ju test road to compare the noise level via close proximity noise measurement. In addition, the noise is measured using two vehicle type based on vehicle speeds of 60, 80, and 100 km/h. RESULTS : The results of noise measurement obtained from the SOC research center are as follows: Porous asphalt pavement 92.8 dB(A), HMA 96. dB(A), transverse tining 100.1 dB(A), and 8 mm EACP 97 dB(A) at a driving speed of 80 km/h. For the case of the Yeo-Ju test road. The noise levels at a driving speed of 80 km/h are as follows: 6 mm EACP, 93.6 dB(A); asphalt grooving pavement, 94.72 dB(A); 8 mm EACP, 95.2 dB(A); NGCS, 95.2 dB(A); transverse tining, 104.1 dB(A). CONCLUSIONS : The result of noise measurement of two sites in the SOC research center and test road shows that the noise level of the 6 mm EAC is lower than that of concrete pavement, such as tining and NGCS, and similar to that of asphalt pavement. In addition, the noise level of the 8 mm EAC is similar to that of the NGCS pavement. The noise reduction effect of the EAC is greater when small-sized coarse aggregates with lower flat and elongation ratios are used.

최근 자기공명영상 획득을 위한 시뮬레이션 도구가 개발되어 오랜 시간이 소요되는 임상 연구를 대체할 수 있게 되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 MRiLab 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 부가인자인 에코 시간의 변화에 따라 경사에코 펄스 시퀀스가 적용된 뇌 T2 강조 영상을 획득하여 영상의 신호 및 노이즈의 변화를 정량적으로 평가하고 경향성을 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해 실제 MRI 장비를 기반으로 새롭게 개발된 MRiLab simulation tool을 사용하여 모든 파라미터를 같게 고정한 후 TE만을 20~95 ms범위에서 5 ms 간격으로 각각 설정하여 경사에코 펄스 시퀀스가 적용된 뇌 T2 강조 영상을 획득하였다. 획득된 영상들의 신호 및 노이즈 특성 변화를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 신호대잡음비 및 대조대잡음비를 측정하였다. 결과적으로, TE가 증가할수록 SNR은 감소하고 CNR은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 TE가 증가할수록 관심 영역으로 설정된 뇌척 수액 신호는 일정하게 유지되는 반면 노이즈는 증가하였으며, 백그라운드로 설정된 백질의 경우 신호가 감소함과 동시에 노이즈가 증가한 것이 원인으로 분석된다. 결론적으로, 진단에 용이한 경사에코 펄스 시퀀스가 적용된 뇌 T2 강조 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 그 목적에 따라 적합한 TE를 설정하는 것이 중요함을 확인하였다.

High concentrations of fine particles are increasingly being detected due to inflows from abroad and local emission sources in Korea. As most people spend about 90% of their time indoors, the use of indoor air cleaners has grown significantly as they are now thought to be essential items. In this study, the noise, power consumption, and clean air delivery rate (CADR) of commercial air cleaners were analyzed according to the structural shape of the air cleaners. Analyses were performed based on the experimental results of 249 cases for air cleaners certified by Korea Air Cleaning Association. The air cleaners with front inlet and upper outlet air flow direction, which currently account for the highest market share, were found to have the highest noise per CADR (dB(A)/(m3/min)). On the other hand, the air cleaners with the inlet and outlet air flow in the same horizontal direction were found to have lowest noise per CADR than other structures.
