THE DIESEL ENGINE AS NOISE SOURCE

This report is the result of an investigation into the noise generated by a diesel engine. The various noise sources were located. The contribution to the overall noise level is described and suggestions are made to minimize these noises by engine redesign, which will surmount the portions producing the greater amounts of noise with sound-absorbent material.
