Many of the basic unsolved problems in noise research could be attacked by the application of statistical mathematics and techniques instead of use of the conventional “sine wave” approaches. Such techniques could be applied to many sound radiation and diffraction problems. The fields of aerodynamics and acoustics should be brought closer together, which would result in better understanding of the noise of a turbulent medium. Among the various unsolved noise measurement problems are the design of meters for measuring transients, intensity meters, and better sound level meters. Several other basic projects are mentioned briefly.
