Hence we measured the sound pressure of pulsed discharges between needle-plane electrodes under different discharge conditions in air, for revealing the intrinsic relationship between discharge and its audible noise(AN). The relationship between discharge parameters and audio characte- ristics was drawn from the analysis of the electric and sound signals obtained in experiments. Experiment results showed that nanosecond pulsed discharges produce the sound pressure with a microsecond pulse lagging behind the discharge pulse in their waveforms. The peak value of the sound pulse decreases and its high frequency component gradually attenuates, when the measuring distance from discharges increases. The sound pulses correlate with the discharge current and voltage significantly, especially the current. The audible noise produced by repetitive pulsed discharge increases with the strength, duration, and pulse repetition rate of discharge.展开更多
