108 CHAPTER 6. NOISE CONTROL6.2.3 Sources <strong>of</strong> structure-borne noiseImpact noiseImpact noise is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most dominant noise sources in many machines.The most important parameters <strong>of</strong> impact noise are <strong>the</strong> mass and velocity <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> impact bodies and <strong>the</strong> duration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact. The frequency spectrum<strong>of</strong> one single impact shows that this is a broadband noise. Repeated impactsgenerate also harmonic noise.Some practical design rules for <strong>the</strong> reduction <strong>of</strong> impact noise are :1. Increase <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact,2. Decrease <strong>the</strong> speed <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact (see e.g. in Figure 6.11),3. Minimize <strong>the</strong> mass <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact body,4. Increase <strong>the</strong> mass <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> solid body,5. Avoid loose parts with varying load.Figure 6.11: Reduce <strong>the</strong> impact speed <strong>of</strong> a conveyor belt.GearingThis is a special form <strong>of</strong> impact noise that occurs e.g. in gearboxes. Importantparameters are <strong>the</strong> contact period, <strong>the</strong> time variation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> force duringcontact and <strong>the</strong> stiffness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> teeth. Defects in <strong>the</strong> teeth may cause extraforce variations and thus more noise. A tonal noise is produced (with tonesat multiples <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tooth frequencies).Measures to reduce <strong>the</strong> generated gearing noise are :
