The noise emissions of an optimized low-noise drone propeller design were measured experimentally using a polar array consisting of fifteen microphones within a circular arc covering 105 degrees. The experiments were conducted in the anechoic chamber at the Faculty of Aerospace E

This preliminary study evaluates the expected psychoacoustics annoyance of an array of distributed propellers operating at different synchrophasing angles between the propeller blades. The study, conducted in a hybrid test section wind tunnel, focused on a three-propeller array i

This study investigated the acoustic and psychoacoustic properties of five quadcopters drones during realistic flyover scenarios, utilizing a 64-microphone array for outdoor recordings. Acoustic analyses encompassed signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values, time-frequency sound pressur

This manuscript presents a psychoacoustic analysis of the noise emissions from the Airbus A320 aircraft family, with a special focus on the tonal noise emitted by its nose landing gear (NLG) system. The study is based on microphone array measurements of aircraft flyovers under op

The attachment of porous media to a blunt trailing edge (TE) can significantly suppress vortex shedding processes and the related tonal noise, yet the near-wall and internal flow fields of porous media are difficult to analyze experimentally and rely on numerical simulations to e

An experimental aeroacoustic study on the influence of the collective blade pitch angle in the noise emissions by an isolated propeller under different turbulent inflow conditions is presented. Acoustic and aerodynamic measurements are conducted in an anechoic, open-jet wind tunn

Optimal procedure design through high-precision navigation is one of the most effective ways towards sustainable aviation. By re-designing approach procedures, it is possible to reduce the noise exposure on the ground and minimize the amount of population negatively affected by i
...
In recent years, the search for more sustainable propulsion systems for aviation has led to an increased interest in electric propulsion aircraft. These aircraft are often claimed to be more silent due to the lack of an internal combustion engine which eliminates the combustion a

Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are considered promising solutions for urban wind energy generation due to their design, low maintenance costs, and reduced noise and visual impact compared to horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs). However, deploying these turbines close to de

New aircraft concepts with distributed propulsion systems are currently developed for urban and regional air mobility. Typically, these propulsion systems consist of a large amount of propulsors, such as ducted fans or propellers. As the emitted sound fields of individual propuls

Current validation of wind turbine noisemodels primarily focuses on sound levels averaged over time, typicallyexpressed in metrics such as the equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level(LA,eq). Whereas valid for regulatory purposes, these methods are notsufficient for psychoacous

Authorities are starting to pay attention not only to the noise levels of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) but also to their quality for acceptance. This manuscript presents a study of four types of propeller-driven UAVs (single-propeller quadcopter, coaxial-propeller quadcopter,

Literature suggests that psychoacoustic metrics, which are established by models firmly based on the human auditory system, are able to better approximate perceptual attributes of sounds in a quantitative manner than conventional metrics based on the sound pressure level. Therefo

The design, development, and acoustic characterization of the Psychoacoustic Listening Laboratory (PALILA) recently established at Delft University of Technology are presented in this manuscript. This laboratory comprises a soundproof room with a modular design and specialized au

Exterior sounds for electric and automated vehicles
Loud is effective
Exterior vehicle sounds have been introduced in electric vehicles and as external human–machine interfaces for automated vehicles. While previous research has studied the effect of exterior vehicle sounds on detectability and acceptance, the present study takes on a different app

Sound evaluation based on listening experiments is very costly and time-consuming. Alternatively, the sounds under evaluation can be compared using psychoacoustic metrics, under the hypothesis that sounds that differ by more than one just-noticeable difference (JND) are perceived

Complex test models in aeroacoustic experiments often present an arrangement of noise sources within a three–dimensional space. Planar microphone array normally have difficulties in separating sound sources in the direction normal to the array plane due to their poorer spatial re
