An aircraft landing gear assembly 36 comprising a wheel and brake assembly and a shock absorbing strut 37, the strut including a mounting bearing for movably coupling the aircraft landing gear assembly to an aircraft for movement between a stowed condition for flight and a deployed condition for take-off and landing. The aircraft landing gear assembly further comprises a noise-inducing region; a first perforated sheet fairing 1n; and a second perforated sheet fairing 3n arranged downstream of the first perforated sheet fairing when the landing gear is in the deployed condition. There is further claimed an arrangement in which a first perforated sheet fairing is arranged downstream of a noise inducing region and a second perforated sheet fairing is arranged downstream of the first perforated sheet fairing. There are further claimed arrangements in which a perforated sheet fairing is arranged either upstream or downstream of a noise inducing region and the sheet fairing has a sinusoidal cross section defining a plurality of peaks and a plurality of troughs and one in which the sheet fairing has a plurality of perforations of a first size and plurality of perforations of a second, different size.
