Because of space considerations, the noise radiating device or ultra precise devices to be protected from outer noise are generally situated at the center of the cover.

To solve these problems from the standpoint of the cover's dimensions and the occurrence frequency of the inner acoustic mode in the cover, which protect devices within the cover from outer ambient noise, we used a simplified one-dimensional Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) to investigate the most effective arrangement of acoustic tubes on the inside of the cover to restrain the acoustic mode.

description To prevent noise generated by devices such as compressors, generators, or motors, a noise-proof cover is usually installed around them. It is also installed to protect ultra precise devices from ambient noise. Because of space considerations, the noise radiating device or ultra precise devices to be protected from outer noise are generally situated at the center of the cover. However, this often lowers the performance of the noise-proof cover at some frequencies because of the occurrence of its inner cover acoustic modes. To solve these problems from the standpoint of the cover's dimensions and the occurrence frequency of the inner acoustic mode in the cover, which protect devices within the cover from outer ambient noise, we used a simplified one-dimensional Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) to investigate the most effective arrangement of acoustic tubes on the inside of the cover to restrain the acoustic mode.
