Abstract

According to the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the United States Department of Veteran Affairs spent over $1 billion dollars on military hearing loss compensation in 2010 alone1. A major cause of hearing loss is exposure to high Sound Pressure Levels, which are caused by military aircraft. These severe levels and high risks are what motivate the overarching goal of all jet noise research: to attenuate the sound impact and reduce the risk of hearing loss. My research project helps this overall purpose by characterizing jet noise and innovating more complete methods of jet noise study. The purpose of this project is to temporally correlate and analyze a large set of military jet noise data for the Office of Naval Research.
