The far-field acoustics of a system comprised of two pulse detonation engines are investigated to determine the effects of geometric and timing parameters. Initially a comparison is made between a single detonation tube and the dual-tube system to isolate the effects of adding the second tube. Then a study is conducted in which the firing time delay between the detonation tubes is varied to determine if any leading shock interactions affect the far-field noise. It is found that tubes fired perfectly out of phase result in the greatest overall sound pressure levels. Further investigation is made into the cross-talk between the detonation tubes, and it is found that although each detonation tube experiences a weakened form of the leading shock from the adjacent tube, there is no significant effect on the detonation cycles due to tube interactions. A final study quantifies the effects of the separation distances of the detonation tubes.
