  2. Jet noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_noise

    The primary sources of jet noise for a high-speed air jet (meaning when the exhaust velocity exceeds about 100 m/s; 360 km/h; 225 mph) are "jet mixing noise" and, for supersonic flow, shock associated noise. Acoustic sources within the "jet pipe" also contribute to the noise, mainly at lower speeds, which include combustion noise, and sounds ...

  3. Aircraft noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_noise_pollution

    Noise-generating aircraft propeller. Aircraft noise is noise pollution produced by an aircraft or its components, whether on the ground while parked such as auxiliary power units, while taxiing, on run-up from propeller and jet exhaust, during takeoff, underneath and lateral to departure and arrival paths, over-flying while en route, or during landing.

  4. Hush kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush_kit

    Rolls-Royce Conway Mk508 (1959) with hush kit attached. The most common form of hush kit is a multi-lobe exhaust mixer.This device is fitted to the rear of the engine and mixes the jet core's exhaust gases with the surrounding air and a small amount of available bypass air.

  5. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

    Noise pollution, or sound pollution, is the propagation of noise or sound with potential harmful effects on humans and animals.The source of outdoor noise worldwide is mainly caused by machines, transport and propagation systems.

  7. Aeroacoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroacoustics

    Aeroacoustics is a branch of acoustics that studies noise generation via either turbulent fluid motion or aerodynamic forces interacting with surfaces. Noise generation can also be associated with periodically varying flows. A notable example of this phenomenon is the Aeolian tones produced by wind blowing over fixed objects.

  8. Quota Count system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quota_Count_system

    Landing quota count values are based on the certificated approach noise level at maximum landing weight minus 9.0 EPNdB. Aircraft were originally divided into six QC bands from 0.5 to 16, but following a review by the Department for Transport [ 1 ] a seventh category – Quota Count 0.25 – was added in March 2007 [ 2 ] and an eighth category ...

  9. Turbofan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

    Turbojet engine noise is predominately jet noise from the high exhaust velocity. Therefore, turbofan engines are significantly quieter than a pure-jet of the same thrust, and jet noise is no longer the predominant source. [28] Turbofan engine noise propagates both upstream via the inlet and downstream via the primary nozzle and the by-pass duct.
