This technical note presents an experimental investigation aimed at exploring acoustic emission (AE) from gas bubble formation, motion, and destruction. AE in this particular investigation covers the frequency range between 100 and 1000 kHz. It is shown that AE energy and amplitude are directly correlated to bubble size at inception and burst.
