Abstract

The objective of this study is the frequency of the noise source 170 dB level of impulsive sound attenuation performance by earplugs to identify, to analyze the frequency characteristics of a shape and pattern. The attenuation performance of the impulsive noise by the frequency levels on the Combat Arm and 3M Form types 1100 Earplugs were evaluated. In order to check the sound attenuation performance of the B&K head and torso simulator and sound attenuation performance of the ear simulator data was verified. Previous studies have most impact, even in the noise source and the impulse noise level is 140 dB, but this study is higher than that of the impulsive noise source features. The results of the impulse noise attenuation effect is frequency-dependent mean 28.58 dB.

본 연구의 목적은 170 dB 수준의 충격 소음원에서 주파수별 귀마개의 차음성능을 확인하고, 주파수 특성과 패턴 형상을 분석하는데 있다. 충격 소음에서의 Combat Arm Earplug와 3M Form types 1100 Earplug의 주파수별 귀마개 차음성능을 산출하였다. 차음성능을 확인하기 위해서 B&K Head and Torso Simulator와 Ear Simulator를 제작하여 충격 소음원의 주파수별로 차음성능을 비교하였다. 기존의 연구들은 충격 소음원이라 할지라도 대부분 140 dB 수준의 고충격 소음원이였으나, 본 연구는 그보다 더 높은 수준의 충격 소음원이라는 특징을 가지고 있다. 연구결과, 주파수별 충격소음의 차음효과는 평균 28.58 dB 인 것으로 나타났다.
