Scientists have always been captivated by sound and how the electrical signal gets interpreted by the brain. More specifically, scientists have examined the turbulent flow from the sound of a jet engine in order to help figure out the growing number of practical problems of today. "For Daniel Bodony, an assistant professor of aerospace engineering, the practical problem is how to make commercial aircraft less noisy. Working with faculty colleague Jonathon Freund, an associate professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, and Jeonglae Kim, a graduate student, Bodony is part of a NASA-funded effort trying to lessen jet engine sound by controlling the turbulence, thus altering the motions of the flow and the resulting noise."
