Far field noise data were taken for convergent nozzles of various shapes and sizes at subsonic velocities exceeding 400 feet per second. For a circular nozzle, the nozzle inlet shape and lip thickness had no effect on the noise level, directivity, or spectra when compared at the same nozzle exit diameter and peak exhaust velocity. A sharp edged orifice was one exception to this statement. Coannular nozzles can produce additional high frequency noise. Blunt ended centerbodies, where there is significant base drag, also generate significant additional noise. The total noise power generation was essentially the same for circular, slot, and plug nozzles of good aerodynamic shape. The noise radiation patterns were essentially the same for these nozzle shapes except near the nozzle exhaust axis.
