STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION This award-winning paper from #ASA182 talks about the #noise created by the Falcon-9 at launch and reentry : doi.org/10.1121/2.0001… (ASA Students, you can still submit to the #ASA183 competition!) Taggart BYU Acoustics #acoustics

This new POMA presents the development of an “acoustic tent” for measuring the radiated sound power from devices with complex or hidden geometries using a vibration-based sound power method. doi.org/10.1121/2.0001… #acoustics BYU Acoustics BYU Physics and Astronomy BYU Mechanical Engineering

Congratulations to our student researchers who got to take part in this! Thanks to great faculty!

Welcome back to our BYU Acoustics Research Group! We’re excited for another semester of exciting research!

"How loud was the world’s most powerful rocket that blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center last November? BYU professor of Physics and Astronomy Kent Gee can tell you: about 136-137 dB...nearly a mile away from the launch!" Read full story here: news.byu.edu/intellect/byu-…

Congratulations to our own Traci Neilsen on being elected an ASA Fellow!

EDITOR'S PICK Hardware limitations can pose challenges meeting requirements for high-fidelity measurement of sonic boom waveforms. This letter describes an engineering method that can extend effective hardware bandwidth. doi.org/10.1121/10.001… BYU Physics and Astronomy BYU Acoustics

Just how loud is a rocket launch? Research from BYU Acoustics can tell you after measuring sound from the recent Artemis launch and by calculating the sound levels from the Saturn V launch. Great story from @kosmofoto. bbc.com/future/article…

It was BYU's Spring Break Day but not for some BYU Acoustics faculty and students, who were hard at work measuring the sound radiation from a Balinese gamelan gong. #dedication

Dipole-like radiation characterizes the low-frequency radiation of large gamelan gongs. doi.org/10.1121/2.0001… #acoustics #MusicalAcoustics BYU Physics and Astronomy BYU Acoustics Kent Gee

We’re so happy to have Dr. Alexandra Loubeau from NASA Langley Research Center visiting BYU this week!

Acoustic radiation efficiency for rocket plumes may be less than the 0.5% previously assumed because ground reflection effects may not have been taken into account in earlier measurements. doi.org/10.1121/2.0001… Kent Gee BYU Physics and Astronomy BYU Acoustics #acoustics #noise

Progress is being made toward developing an indirect vibration-based sound power method to obtain the sound power radiated from acoustic sources with internally generated noise. doi.org/10.1121/2.0001… #acoustics BYU Physics and Astronomy BYU Acoustics BYU Mechanical Engineering

BYU PASCAL students are headed back from a highly productive two days presenting their research and visiting with scientists NASA Langley Research Center. We are trying to improve the upcoming acoustical measurements of X-59, the first quiet supersonic aircraft.
