One of the factors that has to be considered when planning the installation of a turbocharger or gas turbine is the amount of noise that is likely to be radiated from the intake. Frequently such plant employs axial flow compressors, either single-or multi-stage. The object of this paper is to describe how noise is generated in that type of compressor.
