What is it about?

It is shown in a numerical simulation that the tonal sound emission of a high-pressure turbine stage may increase considerably when the mean temperature of the inflow is spatially not uniform. Such nonuniformity does exist in all aeroengines and may increase their noise emission.

Why is it important?

It is shown that the combustor of an aircraft engine may have a surprising influence on the sound radiation of the engine via an interaction between the non-uniform temperature field and the rotor blades. Such an interaction is commonly termed "Indirect combustion noise".
