The noise which occurs during the operation of the auxiliary power units is a disturbing factor, although its level varies depending on the environment. This high level of noise in occupational areas can cause not only health but also accidents risks. While silencers are mostly preferred for active noise control, acoustic foam or textile products are preferred according to passive control methods. In this review, the noises produced by the generators were examined and the studies in the literature on suppressing these noises were evaluated by making comparative analyzes. New recommendations have been developed according to the results of the comparative analysis. In case the sampled natural gas generator is closed with 2 mm thick plywood and a steel framed box covered with an acoustic sponge, the sound pressure level is approximately 30 dB in low frequency diesel + electric generators using a silencer according to active control methods. In measurements; It was observed that it decreased from 93.2 to 88.4 dB. While materials such as an acoustic sponge, which are preferred in passive control methods, are open-celled and porous structures, it is advantageous to have sound absorption capacity, but it can be a disadvantage due to its synthetic content.

Low-Cost Alpha Cabin Like Test Box Proposal for the Development of New Acoustic Sound Insulation Materials
(Gazi Univ, 2023) Koçyiğit, Filiz Bal; Köse, Ercan; Buluklu, Hatice Mehtap; Architecture; Department of Architecture; 15. Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences; 03. School of Fine Arts Design & Architecture; 01. Atılım University
Experimental criteria for sound insulation material recommendation and design have an important share in indoor acoustic control. Among these criteria, laboratories with devices such as impedance tubes, alpha cabins and reverberation rooms used to measure and analyze parameters such as sound transmission loss and sound absorption coefficient have been investigated. In literature, it has been observed that there are studies on acoustic materials and the tests applied to these materials, but the application is more limited. According to research data, an Alpha Cabin model system design that can be used to develop new types of acoustic sound materials has been proposed. In addition to the fact that a large number of experimental measurements can be performed at lower costs using the designed Alpha Cabin model system, many tests can be performed easily for different material designs in a very short time. To perform these tests, the Alpha Cabin system has been designed based on noise and sound insulation. For example, floating flooring, ribbed connection, and so on. Afterward, different insulation materials were used for insulation purposes and standards were achieved. The Alpha Cabin test system, which was designed and developed, overlaps the experimental and theoretical data for 500, 2000, and 4000 Hz when compared with the values of 29.1 dB for 500 Hz, 38.6 dB for 2000 Hz, and 49 dB for 4000 Hz measured in the Acoustic Facade Panel Test Room, and it has been observed that it can be used in the development of new sound insulation materials.

In this study, mathematical modeling design based on Sound Transmission Loss measurement results of new acoustic material samples with natural content was carried out. Using the test samples in question, transfer function of acoustic materials based on electronic filter circuit design and a transition design method for the production of new acoustic materials by utilizing the transfer function is presented. Based on the experimental results of the test samples, it is the most suitable low-pass filter structure for the proposed design. In this study, active Sallen-Key low-pass filter structure is preferred and used. Sound Transmission Losses in dB (decibels) of acoustic samples were obtained experimentally for 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. fundamental frequencies in the literature. Based on these data, transfer function simulation suppression gain results were obtained in TINA-TI program, active filter circuit designed, and MATLAB program. When the other results were compared in the experimental results, it was seen that very close values were obtained. It has been demonstrated that the proposed method can be used effectively in the design and examination of new acoustic materials.
