Humans make a lot of noise. The riffs of heavy metal bands like Metallica and Kiss have soared to levels in the 130-decibel range, levels sure to lead to auditory damage. But try as they might, bands ...

Jet noise can impair hearing but, when combined with exposure to fuel, other serious effects may be occurring in the brains of military personnel. "What we found is that at low levels, it is not toxic ...

It's cliché to describe something very noisy as "louder than a jet engine." But supersonic jet engines, like those powering fighters flown by the U.S. military, are so much louder than regular jet ...

Recently some Carmel Valley residents have been making noise about the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar jets—while some call it “the sound of freedom,” others lament that it is a “nuisance” that seems ...

As air traffic continues to pick up at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, so do the complaints about jet noise in areas that have never had problems in the past.According to ...

Instead of tubular commercial aircraft, other designs could be used in the future: Jets with a blended wing body would fly more efficiently and make less noise -- but how would the noise emissions ...

A team of 40 researchers from Cambridge University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology spent three years working on the wide, streamlined jet, which they plan to unveil in London on Monday.

NASA’s experimental supersonic jet recently completed its 25th flight, racking up some serious miles in the air before its noise levels are put to the test. The X-59 took off from NASA’s Armstrong ...

A scientists is using ALCF resources to create high fidelity simulations of jet turbulence to determine how and where noise is produced. The results may lead to novel engineering designs that reduce ...
