Lateral noise-attenuation data have been compiled in a one-third-octave-band analysis from an available set of flyover tests using DC-8, DC-9, and DC-10 aircraft. For an intermediate frequency range of 400 through 2000 Hertz the lateral noise has been approximately separated into its two components - the excess ground attenuation and the aircraft shielding attenuation. Both attenuation factors varied from a maximum at small elevation angles to zero at an elevation angle of approximately 40 degrees. The lateral attenuation in this range generally did not vary with frequency. For frequencies of 80 Hertz and lower, negative lateral attenuation values were obtained. For high frequencies, the data were not complete enough to generate definitive lateral attenuation curves.
