  • Publication number: 20210233505
    Abstract: An acoustic system includes a duct that has a function of causing a fluid to flow therein and has a tubular shape, an internal sound source that is disposed inside the duct on an upstream side or at an outer peripheral portion of the duct, which communicates with an inside of the duct on the upstream side, or an external sound source that is on an outside from an end portion of the duct, and a membrane-shaped member that is formed as a part of a wall of the duct and vibrates in response to sound. A structure including the membrane-shaped member and a rear surface closed space thereof causes acoustic resonance to occur, transmits the acoustic resonance from the sound source into the duct, and suppresses sound radiated from the other end portion of the duct on a downstream side. The external sound source is at a distance within a wavelength at a frequency of the acoustic resonance on the outside from the end portion of the duct.
