Discrete Frequency Noise and Its Reduction in Small Axial-Flow Fans.

摘要

The discrete frequency noise radiated from representative types of axial-flow fans used in electronic equipment is studied in detail. Narrowband analysis of the discrete frequency noise radiated by these types of fans has been conducted in a free-field environment. The far-field sound pressure level, radiated directivity, and total radiated power of the discrete frequency noise is presented. The influence of operating point on the sound radiated from the fans is determined. The discrete frequency noise dominates the characteristic acoustic spectra at high flow coefficients. (Author)
