A gas turbine engine generates noise during use, and one particularly important flight condition for noise generation is take-off. A gas turbine engine has high efficiency together with low noise, in particular the noise emanating from the front of the fan. The contribution of the fan noise emanating from the front of the engine to the Effective Perceived Noise Level (EPNL) at a take-off lateral reference point, defined as the point on a line parallel to and 450 m from the runway centre line where the EPNL is a maximum during take-off, is in the range of from 0 EPNdB and 12 EPNdB lower than the contribution of the fan noise emanating from the rear of the engine to the EPNL at the take-off lateral reference point.
