Vibration of structures due to external sound is one of the main causes of interior noise in cavities like automobile, aircraft, and rotorcraft, which disturb the comfort of passengers. Accurate modelling of such phenomena is required in eigenfrequency analysis and in designing an active noise control system to reduce the interior noise. In this paper, the effect of periodic noise travelling into a rectangular enclosure is investigated with finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The periodic acoustic wave is generated by a point source outside the enclosure and propagated through the enclosure wall and excites an aluminium flexible panel clamped onto the enclosure. The behaviour of the transmission of sound into the cavity is investigated by computing the modal characteristics and the natural frequencies of the cavity. The simulation results are compared with previous analytical and experimental works for validation and an acceptable match between them were obtained.

Health, comfort and the job efficiency of the crew of offshore platforms are factors deeply related to the acoustic quality of the places. The acoustic project of platforms include the noise prediction. It is a complex problem, because it involves several noise sources and receptors. Numeric methods such as Boundary Element Method and Finite Element Method are not still fully satisfactory for use in complex acoustic problems. This way, semi-empiric formulas and statistics methods are used in the prediction calculations. This paper describes some aspects of the Petrobras experience, along the years, in the performance of acoustic projects in offshore platforms. Finally, in this work, some important decisions are discussed for improvement of the acoustic quality of those operational units.
