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 ...
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.
Jet airliners have become 70% more fuel efficient between 1967 and 2007. [30] Jetliner fuel efficiency improves continuously, 40% of the improvement come from engines and 30% from airframes. [ 31 ] Efficiency gains were larger early in the jet age than later, with a 55–67% gain from 1960 to 1980 and a 20–26% gain from 1980 to 2000.
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.
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.

[1] [2] This is used to calculate the total acoustic power of the jet noise. The law reads as =, where is the acoustic power in the far-field, is the proportionality constant (or Lighthill's constant),
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.
