Physical and psychophysical schemes that purported to measure the speech interfering aspects of noise were examined in a series of papers by Klumpp & Webster (1962, 1963) and Webster & Klumpp (1963). Sixteen diverse-spectrum noises were adjusted in level so that listeners hearing monosyllabic (rhyme) words at a constant level of 78 dB from a loudspeaker obtained 50 % word intelligibility scores. Articulation index (a.i) calculations (see Kryter 1962 a ) predicted the speech-interfering properties of the noises very well. However, other, and simpler, schemes worked just as well; for example, speech interference level (s.i.l.) calculations (see Beranek 1954), based on octaves centred at 425, 850 and 1700 Hz, or 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz. The A-weighting and Din 3 networks (see Peterson & Bruel 1957), of a sound level meter (s.l.m.) were good, but the conventional use of noise criteria (n.c.), or alternate noise criteria (n.c.a.) (see Beranek 1957), curves did not work well unless (1) only that part of the curves centering on the octaves 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz was used, and (2) the noise spectra were allowed to ‘average through’ a contour and not just touch it at a peak value.

A Model 700 Sound Level Meter/Dosimeter was modified to reflect the proposed frequency weighting curve for infrasound. With this system, the exact time and duration of any infrasound levels that exceed the threshold of hearing are recorded. The average level (Leq) of each event as well as the overall Leq are also provided. In addition a dose, based tentatively on 110 dB at 20 Hz for 8 hours, is also available. Preliminary results from the use of this instrument are presented and discussed.

One wildly used method to reduce and control the noise pollution in green city’s buildings is using sonic-absorbent panels. Their applications can be multiple, such as the insulation of buildings, acoustic barriers and fences along the highway or in front of supermarkets, hospitals and other public buildings. This paper presents a method for testing the behavior of sonic-absorbent panels in open-air environment. The work represents a carrying on of previous research about absorbent materials from gypsum family, tested in lab conditions. The experiment setup used a dynamic installation and as a sample a stand formed by six sonic-absorbent panels from special modeling alpha-gypsum plaster. This installation has been composed of two loudspeakers for emitting the sound at a well-defined frequency by the first laptop, the microphone for detecting and transmitting the signal to the second laptop for analyzing and processing the data. All operations were performed using MATLAB Programs, while a Data Logger Sound Level Meter type CENTER 332 was put on near the microphone to compare both results. The first experiment of acoustic stand has been realized by setting up the installation at a frequency from 50 Hz to 1250 Hz and altering the distance between loudspeakers and stand at 0.5m to 1m and 1.5m, respectively. The second experiment kept the same test’s conditions, while two and three layers of sonic-absorbent panels formed the stand, respectively, but at same distance from source of 0.5 m. In both tests, the results underlined the good sonic-absorbent properties of these panels, especially at medium and high frequency, which can recommend using the panels for multiple outside applications.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of this study was to analysis of angklung sound intensity. The research method is using angklung musician 2 octaves. Each consists of two tube tone that sounded from the tone of G to G ', length and diameter of the tube every tone becomes independent variable, while intensity of the sound produced becomes dependent variable. Sound intensity is measured using a Sound Level Meter is placed with a constant distance. The result showed that G tone was a low tone which had a frequency of 49.5 Hz, first tube had 21.6 cm length and 4.1 cm diameter, second tube had 10.1 cm length and 3.4 cm diameter produced the sound intensity of 90.7 dB. G’ tone was a high tone which had a frequency of 99 Hz, first tube had 10 cm length and 3 cm diameter, second tube had 5.5 cm length and 2.1 cm diameter produced the sound intensity of 99.1 dB. It can be concluded that the higher the frequency, the greater the intensity of the sound produced. The shorter tube length and the smaller tube diameter, the greater the intensity of the sound. ©2016 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved.</p>
