The “two-surface” correction technique, as it is outlined in ASME Performance Test Code No. 36, is utilized in the determination of large steam turbine-generator sound power level (PWL). Test data obtained from using this method and other PWL calculation methods are presented. The two-surface method did not yield consistent results in the indoor environments encountered and had only limited application in turbine-generator PWL calculations. A modified two-surface approach was also tested. This method, which treats each component as a separate source and uses grids located close to the machine, was found to produce more accurate and confident results.

Different Thickness

A comparison of sound radiation behavior of plate in air medium with attached discrete patches/point masses having different thickness variations with different taper ratio of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 is analysed. Finite element method is used to find the vibration characteristics while Rayleigh integral is used to predict the sound radiation characteristics. Minimum peak sound power level obtained is at a taper ratio of 0.6 with parabolic increasing-decreasing thickness variation for plate with four discrete patches. At higher taper ratio, linearly increasing-decreasing thickness variation is another alternative for minimum peak sound power level suppression with discrete patches. It is found that, in low frequency range, average radiation efficiency remains almost the same, but near first peak, four patches or four point masses cause increase in average radiation efficiency; that is, redistribution of point masses/patches does have effect on average radiation efficiency at a given taper ratio.

Sound Power Level

The calculation and evaluation of traffic noise is an important task in urban road design. Roundabouts are a common form of urban road intersection. The complexity of traffic operations makes the calculation of traffic noise near a roundabout challenging. To explore traffic noise at roundabouts, a cellular automaton traffic flow model for a two-lane roundabout is established. Based on this model, a dynamic simulation method for traffic noise at roundabouts is proposed. The traffic operation and noise emissions at a roundabout are simulated. The vehicle speed distribution and traffic noise distribution at the roundabout are analysed, and the relationship between the traffic volume and sound power level of the cells is discussed. Finally, the proposed method is compared with existing traffic noise models, and the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are verified. The results of this paper show that the speed distribution and noise emission distribution at the roundabout are not uniform. When the traffic volume increases to saturation, the noise emission on the ring road will not keep increasing, and the sound power level of the cells on the inner ring is approximately 2 dBA higher than that of the outer ring. The methods and results in this paper may be valuable for road traffic design and noise control.

Measurement Results

In order to investigate the sound radiation characteristics of lightweight roof constructions when excited by rainfall, an artificial rainfall apparatus was constructed to simulate natural rainfall conditions. From the measurement results, it can be seen that the facility developed is practically applicable for the examination of the sound radiation characteristics of rain noise. It was therefore used in the measurement of sound power of 20 lightweight roofs. In addition, the relationship between sound power level and sound transmission loss measured by the sound intensity method was investigated statistically. As a result, it has been shown that a linear relationship exists between them and there is a possibility of estimating the sound power level from the transmission loss.
