  2. Jet noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_noise

    Acoustic sources within the "jet pipe" also contribute to the noise, mainly at lower speeds, which include combustion noise, and sounds produced by interactions of a turbulent stream with fans, compressors, and turbine systems. [1] The jet mixing sound is created by the turbulent mixing of a jet with the ambient fluid, in most cases, air.

    The FAA Stage 5 noise standards are equivalent. [49] Higher bypass ratio engines produce less noise. The PW1000G is presented as 75% quieter than previous engines. [50] Serrated edges or 'chevrons' on the back of the nacelle reduce noise. [51] A Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) is quieter as less noise is produced while the engines are near ...

  4. 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.

  5. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    Noise poses a serious threat to a child's physical and psychological health, and may negatively interfere with a child's learning and behavior. [46] Exposure to persistent noise pollution shows how important maintaining environmental health is in keeping children and elderly healthy. [47]

  6. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

    Speech is a major area of study for acoustical engineering, including the production, processing and perception of speech. This can include physics, physiology, psychology, audio signal processing and linguistics. Speech recognition and speech synthesis are two important aspects of the

    Environmental noise can also convey a sense of liveliness in an area, which can be desirable. The adverse effects of noise exposure (i.e. noise pollution) could include: interference with speech or other 'desired' sounds, annoyance, sleep disturbance, anxiety, hearing damage and stress-related cardiovascular health problems.

    This is a list of noise topics. Engineering and physics. 1/f noise; A-weighting; Ambient noise level; Antenna noise temperature; Artificial noise; Audio noise reduction;

  9. 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.
