Discrete‐frequency tones can be generated when objects obstruct the path of an axially symmetric jet. An experimental study of this phenomenon was conducted when the objects were (1) a flat plate perpendicular to the jet axis, there being a hole in the plate of the same diameter as the jet orifice and concentric with the jet, and (2) a ring whose plane was perpendicular to the jet axis and whose diameter was equal to that of the jet orifice. The tone from the former geometry is the hole tone and that from the latter, not previously observed, is the ring tone. The mechanism of tone generation appears to be very similar to that of the edge tone, although presently only qualitative explanations can be offered for certain aspects of the phenomena. The axially symmetric jet systems are sensitive to very weak acoustic reflections.
