Abstract

The synthetic jet actuator (SJA) generated high noise which limits the area of its application. In this paper, the five actuators with different types of soundproofing in the cavity were tested and compared to the classic actuator. The resistance and the sound pressure level (SPL) were measured for real power P=1, 2, 4 W, and frequency in a range of 20–150 Hz. The resonant frequency of actuators was designed. Only one type of soundproofing had a significant impact on the resonant frequency. The use of soundproofing in the actuator cavity increased or did not affect the generated noise at a frequency below 120 Hz and only the mineral wool significantly decreased the noise at a frequency above 120 Hz– even 7 dBA. The direction for further investigations was set.
