page 3 Introduction From engine Driving noise Body vibrations Mechanic and wheel noise Aeroacoustics: branch of acoustics that studies noise generation via fluid motion or aerodynamic forces interaction (source: Wikipedia)
page 4 Introduction Noise generation via fluid motion: e.g. Blowing in a bottle
page 5 Introduction Noise Transmission: e.g. Speaking into a loudhailer

page 9 Transmission Loss Analysis for Air Box higher order response air box alternative air box connection <700Hz, broad band attenuation due to expansion in air box > 1000 Hz narrow band attenuation due to reflections in airbox
page 10 Transmission Loss for Air Box & HRR fill the gaps for broad band attenuation HRR HRR air box design II Helmholtz Resonator (HRR) Helmholtz Resonator is used to attenuate specific frequencies (here: 80Hz) to build broad band high frequency resonator reflections of airbox are used. Resonator chambers must be added to fill the gaps.

Amplitude Amplitude STAR page 15 Wave Analysis for 90 Bent higher amplitudes occur at outer radius, thus more effective for chamber connection. high frequency resonators can be shifted to position where amplitudes are highest. inner radius is less effective for chamber connection outer pressure sensors 0.12 0.1 0.08 0.06 0.04 0.02 FFT outer pressure sensors 0 0.00 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.70 0.80 0.90 1.00 x/x_ref 1320 Hz 2050 Hz 2600 Hz 0.12 FFT inner pressure sensors 0.1 inner pressure sensors x 0.08 0.06 0.04 1320 Hz 2050 Hz 0.02 2600 Hz -2.78E-16 0.00 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.70 0.80 0.90 1.00 x/x_ref
