Abstract

It is shown that results of available theoretical analyses of the far-field sound pressure due to a simple source above an absorbing plane are capable of simple interpretation, and that certain published experimental values of excess attenuation obtained from measurements near the ground are consistent with such results. The effects of changing various parameters are demonstrated and estimates made of the errors likely to be incurred if effects of ground absorption are ignored when determining normalized values of the noise of aircraft.
