  2. The Hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

    A year later, multiple sources for the hum were identified in Darmstadt: two faulty air conditioner units, a faulty heat pump, and three structural noise protection measures on energy generation plants. [16] In 2022, hums were reported in St. Louis County, Missouri and surrounding areas. [17] In 2023, a hum was reported in Omagh in Northern ...

  3. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The torsional deflection of a simple cylinder cannot radiate efficiently acoustic noise, but with particular boundary conditions the stator can radiate acoustic noise under torque ripple excitation. [8] Structure-borne noise can also be generated by torque ripple when rotor shaft line vibrations propagate to the frame [9] and shaft line.

  4. Inverter compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter_compressor

    In the hermetic type, it can either be a scroll or reciprocating compressor. This type of compressor uses a drive to control the compressor motor speed to modulate cooling capacity. Capacity modulation is a way to match cooling capacity to cooling demand to application requirements. The first inverter air conditioners were released in 1980 ...

  5. Mains hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum

    Mains hum, electric hum, cycle hum, or power line hum is a sound associated with alternating current which is twice the frequency of the mains electricity.The fundamental frequency of this sound is usually double that of fundamental 50/60 Hz, i.e., 100/120 Hz, depending on the local power-line frequency.

  6. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

    The efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), which is defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute in its 2008 standard AHRI 210/240, Performance Rating of Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment. [61]

  7. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative. In early literature, the phenomenon of compressor surge was identified by audible thumping and honking at frequencies as low as 1 Hertz, pressure ...

  8. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

    Underwater noise pollution due to human activities is also prevalent in the sea, and given that sound travels faster through water than through air, is a major source of disruption of marine ecosystems and does significant harm to sea life, including marine mammals, fish and invertebrates.

  9. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    One compressor generally stabilizes the dynamic range while the other aggressively compresses stronger peaks. This is the normal internal signal routing in common combination devices marketed as compressor-limiters, where an RMS compressor (for general gain control) is followed by a fast peak-sensing limiter (for overload protection). Done ...
