A number of self-rectifying air turbines for wave power conversion have been proposed over the last decade. However, the noise characteristics of the turbines have not been presented so far. In order to clarify the noise characteristics of the turbines, the experimental investigations have been performed under steady flow conditions in this study. As a result, it is found that the noise characteristics of the impulse type turbines are superior to the Wells type turbines. Moreover, the noise characteristics have been discussed from a viewpoint of a specific noise level.
