The experimental results show that a good coupled modification not only could reduce the fan noise but also could advance the fan performance and extend the operating range.
Grooved blade tips amplify the fan noise, so measures should be taken to control the noise.
The data presented indicates that this turbulence is the dominant source of noise above 1.5 kHz for the fan tested.
Such correlations may contribute to redesign guidelines for simultaneous reduction of noise and improvement of efficiency at prescribed fan performance.
The flow in the fan casing also contributes to the low frequency noise: Here the flow along those parts of the volute is important which is close to the impeller periphery, specifically the cut-off area.
Therefore, the noise observeda way from a low pressure axial flow fan is mostly the turbulent noise.
The results indicate the limits of maximum noise reduction which manufacturers may expect using existing fan designs and also indicates the methods for achieving maximum noise reduction for these configurations.

The method described and applied in this work provides a good qualitative prediction of the noise generation when designing a new fan, thus facilitating the choice of the lowest noise fan from several feasible alternatives.

This noise may have both tonal and random components and is strongly dependent on the way that the fan is placed in the unit and on how close its operation is to the design operating point.
Although the main contribution to fan noise generation is due to mechanical sources, the bands in which aerodynamic noise is generated by these fans correspond to frequencies especially unpleasant to the human earl Therefore, the research presented in this paper may be of considerable interest, establishing a starting point for the design of quieter and more efficient fans.
