102 CHAPTER 6. NOISE CONTROL6. The electrical motor is encased to reduce <strong>the</strong> radiated Aerodynamicnoise (L W = 81 dBA).From <strong>the</strong> measurements, a number <strong>of</strong> conclusions can be drawn :Themost importantsources are<strong>the</strong>structure-borne andhydrodynamicnoise <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hydrostatic pump.The dominant structure-borne transmission paths were found betweenpump and motor and pump and reservoir.The dominant radiating surfaces are those <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electrical motor and<strong>the</strong> reservoir.Figure 6.3: Hydraulic group.6.2 Reducing noise at <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> soundsource6.2.1 Aerodynamic noise sourcesAerodynamic noise can be caused by :turbulence,vortices in <strong>the</strong> wake <strong>of</strong> obstacles in <strong>the</strong> flow,shocks and pulsations.These are discussed in <strong>the</strong> following paragraphs.
