Are turbofan engines quiet?
Are turbofan engines quiet? Turbofan engines are inherently quieter than turbojets for a given level of thrust. A turbofan thrust is developed by turning a fan with a turbine engine that accelerates a larger amount of air to a lower velocity than do turbojets. Which part of the engine creates the most noise in a jet engine? Jet engines produce noise in different ways, but mainly it comes from the high-speed exhaust stream that leaves the nozzle at the rear of the engine. And planes are loudest when they move slowly, such as at takeoff or at landing. Why are...
