Fan noise data are categorized into source characteristic terms and a frequency response term expressing attenuation in the propagation passage. These terms are determined by sweeping the fan speed from 1000 to 4500 rpm. The fan specific speed and the impeller diameter are 42 and 460 mm. The blade number is 12. By setting the exponent in a power law relationship of sound pressure level versus frequency as 3, two factors describing the source level are determined with simple relationships to the scroll cut-off location. By selecting the distance, the noise level is possibly reduced by more than 10 dB without influencing fan performance. The frequency response if satisfactorily presented by introducing a one-dimensional linear wave model, where the key passage is blade passages selectively determined by the noise wavelength. By choosing the blade number or the inlet duct length so that a frequency of the maximum attenuation is achieved, a noise reduction of 10 dB is again expected.

Active cancellation of noise source of higher-order blade-passing frequency noise, abbreviated to BPF noise, radiated from a centrifugal blower is conducted. The extents of noise sources of 2nd-and 3rd-order BPF components were determined by measuring a cross-correlation function between the data of the acoustic pressure measured at blower inlet and the pressure fluctuation on the scroll surface. The effective noise sources of these higher-order BPF components exist on the volute side surface of scroll relatively apart from the cut off apex, and vary irregularly with operating conditions of the blower. While the noise source of fundamental BPF lies on the vicinity of the cut off apex as usually expected. Oscillating the volute side surface of the cut off, i.e. the effective noise source of higher-order BPF components, directly by piezoelectric actuators, sound pressure level of higher-order BPF components can be reduced more than 15 decibels, and discrete tone disappears completely from power spectra of the blower radiated noise.
