Abstract:

Environmental noise measurements are usually performed in atmospheric conditions where wind and thus turbulent flow over the microphone is present. In such conditions the measured noise is highly affected by the wind-induced noise generated by turbulence structures present in the flow and microphone generated wakes. A novel approach has been employed to distinguish the contribution of wind-induced noise from the acoustic signal using Incoherent Output Power analysis between two microphone signals. Various experimental arrangements were investigated to examine the influence of the experimental parameters on the results obtained. The technique was successfully tested and validated in a series of indoor experiments in a small anechoic wind tunnel. Finally, a new approach for minimising wind-induced noise using the Coherent Output Power between two shielded microphones is proposed and tested.
