Evaluation of Microphone Windscreen Performance in a Wind Tunnel

Abstract

Turbulent wind noise can severely degrade acoustic signals often making it difficult to detect classify and/or track signals of interest. Windscreens are often used to suppress such noise. This research compares the effectiveness of various windscreens to suppress wind noise while tested in a controlled environment.
