  2. Jet noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_noise

    In aeroacoustics, jet noise is the field that focuses on the noise generation caused by high-velocity jets and the turbulent eddies generated by shearing flow. Such noise is known as broadband noise and extends well beyond the range of human hearing (100 kHz and higher).

  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

    A hush kit is an aerodynamic device used to help reduce the noise produced by older aircraft jet engines. These devices are typically installed on older turbojet and low-bypass turbofan engines, as they are much louder than later high-bypass turbofan engines .

  5. Lighthill's eighth power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthill's_eighth_power_law

    [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),

  6. 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.

  7. Silent Aircraft Initiative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Aircraft_Initiative

    This gives a less effective exhaust gas velocity (lower jet noise) and therefore lower efficiency, and can be achieved in the landing phase by using a variable area final nozzle to rematch the fan. Furthermore, acoustic treatment in the intake and exhaust ducting can minimize turbomachinery noise.

  8. Jet engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine

    The noise emitted by a jet engine has many sources. These include, in the case of gas turbine engines, the fan, compressor, combustor, turbine and propelling jet/s. [84] The propelling jet produces jet noise which is caused by the violent mixing action of the high speed jet with the surrounding air.
