An analytical model has been developed to predict space-averaged sound levels in the payload bay of the Space Shuttle when the bay is empty or when a payload is present. The model utilizes the power flow concept and takes into account net power flow from the exterior, flow between subvolumes surrounding a payload, and power dissipation in the subvolumes. The characteristics of the model are described and its application to the Spacelab Configuration 1 payload is presented to illustrate the type of results obtained.
