Reference data and engineering information about blade dampers noise for acoustics applications.

bladedampersnoise

Overview

Engineering reference data for Blade Dampers Noise in acoustics.

Key Formulas

Speed of Sound

c=γRTc = \sqrt{\gamma R T}

Speed of sound in an ideal gas.

Sound Level

L=10log10(I/I0)L = 10 \log_{10}(I/I_0)

Decibel level.

Wavelength

λ=c/f\lambda = c / f

Wavelength = speed / frequency.

Volume Flow Noise Corrections

When estimating noise from blade dampers, the base sound power level must be corrected according to the volume flow rate through the unit. Use the table below to find the appropriate correction value to add to or subtract from the base level.
