Aeroacoustic wind tunnels often employ fabric coverings to reduce instrumentation selfnoise or to improve the background noise of a facility by containing the flow. To investigate the impact of these fabric coverings, acoustic spectra were measured from open and fabric covered 3.2 mm diameter perforate panels. Noise from the perforate panels was reduced at lower frequencies by the fabric coverings, but additional high frequency noise was introduced. The acoustic spectra from the fabric covered surfaces had two maxima which scaled differently with velocity. The low frequency maximum was attributed to the perforate geometry and scaled with the sixth power of velocity. The high frequency maximum is speculated to be a result of the fabric covering and scales with the eleventh power of velocity. The addition of the coverings also affected the streamwise directivity of the noise. The open perforate geometry radiated noise symmetrically upstream and downstream about a minimum produced directly above the center of the perforate sample. The fabric covered surfaces produced a different streamwise spectral directivity pattern which was projected upstream and decreased monotonically with downstream receiving angle. The noise produced by a fabric surface with a solid backing was reduced by more than 20dB compared to spectra with an open perforate backing indicating that the noise produced by the fabric may be a complex function of porosity, elasticity, and/or a coupling with the underlying geometry.
