A portable underwater sound-pressure measuring system has been developed, and in a variety of situations has demonstrated the capability of measuring very low ambient-noise levels. 2. High self-noise levels at frequencies less than 90 to 63 Hz are quite likely to be present if measurements are made from a drifting ship and the cable is towed at the drift velocity. These high self-noise levels are believed to be due to a combination of flow noise and noise arising from cable vibrations. 3. These high self-noise levels can be satisfactorily eliminated by using a slack cable system as described in this report. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Use a slack cable system if a tethered system is used; and use an all-buoyant in preference to a nonbuoyant cable for a simple system to be used for measurements from a ship on the open ocean. 2. Perform calibration of the system with the random noise during the slack period; otherwise the high noise levels during towing may mask the random-noise calibrate signal at the lower frequencies. 3, Use a"pink'’ random noise (-3 dB/octave slope) for calibration, when noise with a negative spectrum slope is to be measured. With the same broadband level a pink random noise has a higher spectrum level at low frequencies than a flat random noise. 4. Use an untethered system, if it is available, to obtain ambient-noise measurements from a ship platform in the open ocean. This system should have the capability of obtaining data at any selected depth, il 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION, .. page 5 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION,.. 6 Hydrophone and Preamplifier... 7 Cabliever LL Calibrate Boxes... 14 Sound-Level Meter and Analyzer... 17 Tape Recorders... 18 SELF-NOISE SOURCES.,.. 19 EE ED EE od) sce 20 Hydrophone Suspensions... 20 Cable Systems... 24 RESULTS OF FIELD TESTS... 30 Self-Noise... 30 Suspension and Cable Systems... 33 CONCLUSIONS,.. 33 RECOMMENDATIONS... 34 REFERENCES, . .' 35 APPENDIX A: HYDROPHONE-DEPTH MEASURING SPY Mier ena APPENDIX B: HYDROPHONE-PREAMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY,.. 39 APPENDIX C: CABLE SPECIFICATIONS... 45 TABLES Electrical Properties of the Cable... page 12 Lower and Upper Cutoff Frequencies and Midpoint Frequencies for the Octave Bands of the Sound Level IMIS KEIO, 5 6.

This practice was often time-consuming and sometimes resulted in a less than effective system. The need for an underwater sound measuring system has long been recognized and several such systems have been designed and built, for example, the ''Suitcase"' system! and the Noise Measuring Set AN/PQM-1A.2 Such systems have proved to be very useful tools, but for some applications the size, weight, and power requirements have been a problem, and the procedures for accomplishing com- prehensive calibrations have been tedious and time- consuming. Included in the objectives for the system described herein was the minimization of size, weight, and power requirements, Other special objectives were: i Prequency range trom, NO Tizsto 10 KHZ; 2. Minimum self-noise and maximum sensitivity for the measurement of low background noise levels. 3. Flexibility: capability for use from a rowboat on the one hand, or from a relatively large ocean-going research ship on the other. 4, "Off-the-shelf'' components: catalog items or items of standard manufacture. 5. Simplicity in both operation and calibration, Since system self-noise of an underwater measuring system involves not only the equipment used but also the way in which it is used, the definition of the system must necessarily include a discussion of the techniques and proce- dures of its use, lsuperscript numbers identify references listed at end of report. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The basic underwater sound measuring system is shown in the block diagram of figure 1, and figure 2 isa photograph of the system. Each of the elements will be described in detail. Some auxiliary equipment to determine the depth of the hydrophone can be used and such a system is discussed in Appendix A. SHIP EQUIPMENT HY DROPHONE AND PREAMPLIFIER TAPE RECORDER Figure 1.

The Sound-Measuring System shown with a portable tape recorder. Hydrophone and Preamplifier The hydrophone-preamplifier assemblies (M-H90-A) were manufactured by Wilcoxon Research Co., Bethesda, Md., according to the specifications which are included in Appendix B. The crystal material used in PZT4 and the construction of the hydrophone is such that the acceleration sensitivity is reduced to a minimum, The acceleration sensitivity is given as less than +60 dB/ubar/g. The source capacitance, sensitivity, and input impedance can be speci- fied to obtain a hydrophone with a low input noise level and sufficient sensitivity to measure the lowest ambient noise levels in the frequency range of interest. The crystal was specified with a source capacitance of not less than 1000 pF with a sensitivity of not less than -90 dBV re 1 dyn-cm”~?, The input impedance of the preamplifier was specified to be EQUIVALENT SOUND-PRESSURE SPECTRUM LEVEL (DB RE 0.0002 DYN-CM~2) 40 No (=) =) not less than 100 megohms with less than 30 pF of capaci- tance. The high input impedance is necessary to have good low-frequency response, This combination of source capacitance, sensitivity, and input impedance resulted in system input noise as shown by the curve of figure 3, at the preamplifier input referred to an equivalent SPSL in water, The empirical ambient-noise minimum? and the sea state 0 curve‘4 are given for comparison, The actual receiving responses of two hydrophones as determined at an acoustic calibration facility (NUWC: SDL-TRANSDEC) are shown in figures 4 and 5.

The desirability of maintaining as large a dynamic range as possible for the hydrophone-preamplifier requires that the minimum amount of gain necessary to accomplish the above purpose be speci- fied. In this case the specified voltage gain is a nominal 30 dB +1 dB (28 dB as measured). The output stage of the preamplifier was especially designed to prevent high frequency oscillation when used with long cables, This required the addition of two output transistors to the basic preamplifier and necessitated at least 12 mA of current at about 12 volts. The output imped- ance is less than 50 ohms, with a maximum output voltage not less than 2 volts rms. The hydrophone and preamplifier unit with connec- tions to the Marsh and Marine connector is shown in the simplified schematic of figure 6. Cae POWER Figure 6. Block diagram of Wilcoxon Research Co. hydrophone M-H90-A with 18-inch cable and connections to a Marsh and Marine eable connector. Cable The underwater cable consists of three twisted pairs, one pair covered with a shield, and the group of three pairs covered with an overall shield. The two shields are tied to each other at only one end of the cable. The cables were procured in lengths of 50, 500, and 1000 feet. Two types of cable, nonbuoyant and buoyant, were available. Their electrical characteristics are identical. The non- buoyant cable has a neoprene jacket with an OD of 0, 440 inch. The cable connectors used are Marsh and Marine's XSL-6-CCR and XSL-6-CCP, one at either end, connected as shown in figure 7. A separate return lead was used for the calibration circuit to minimize common-mode voltages when long cables are used, The buoyant cable is similar but with a thinner neoprene jacket and an added flotation jacket of foamed polyethylene for a slight positive buoyancy in seawater.

Lat The two types of cable were obtained in different lengths to provide some degree of diversification in the kind of system that can be put together, depending on the desired use, Variations of cable systems actually used will be covered in the section, ''Field Tests.'' The specifica- tion sheet for the cable is presented in Appendix C. The measured electrical properties are given intable 1. The cross-talk output of the signal pair when a signal is placed across the calibrate pair was measured and is shown in figure 8. About 1000 feet of cable were used for the cross- talk measurements.

It also contains a monitoring circuit for measuring the current in the calibrate pair leads and a meter provides a Visual indica- tion of the amount of current, Provision for inserting exter- nal calibrate signals is included, The calibration signals are applied through cable leads 4 and 5 to the 10-ohm resistor at the input of the hydrophone-preamplifier. The calibration signal thus appears in series with the hydrophone signal.

Simplified block diagram of the calibrate box and connections to the hydrophone and sound-level meter. 14 of calibration, using two easily inserted calibration signals, allows the entire electrical system to be calibrated very simply and as often as desired, The calibrate signals are recorded on tape along with the ambient-noise signal, and so also serve to calibrate any subsequent analysis equipment as well. In practice the calibration signals are recorded just prior to the ambient-noise measurement. The level of the tone is adjusted precisely to the same known level each time by monitoring the current in the calibration circuit. Since the ambient-noise signal is present when the calibrate signals are applied, it is necessary to apply the calibrate signals at a much higher level than the ambient-noise voltage level. To use this method of calibration it is only necessary to know the sensitivity of the hydrophone as a function of frequency, the insert level of the tone (as monitored) and the relative spectrum shape of the random noise as applied at the 10-ohm resistor. The sensitivity, 9p, of the hydro- phone is measured periodically at an acoustic calibration facility. The spectrum shape of the random noise is mea- sured periodically using a one-third octave band analysis, and the relative spectrum level, N“(f), is obtained by sub- tracting 10 log,, (bandwidth) from the band level. The spec- trum level of the random noise is determined by the differ- ence, D, between the known tone level, T, and the one-third octave band level centered at the tone frequency. N(1000) = T - D - 10 log (bandwidth) where N(1000) is the absolute spectrum level of the random noise at 1000 Hz. The absolute spectrum level at other frequencies is determined by N(f) = N(1000) - [N (1000) - N (11 Conversion to an equivalent SPSL is made using the appropri- ate hydrophone sensitivity curve (fig. 4 or 5) as measured at an acoustic calibration facility. Equivalent SPSL = N(f) - S(f) + 74 where the 74 is a conversion factor to a reference pressure of 0.0002 dyn-cm~’. Figure 10 shows the equivalent SPSL of the tone and random noise of the two calibrate boxes as normally used. If the broadband level of the random noise should change, this will show up as a change in the difference, 15 EQUIVALENT SPSL RE 0.0002 DYN-CM"? 16 — D,and an adjustment in the equivalent SPSL N(f) would be made, (It is assumed that while the random-noise level may change somewhat, the spectrum shape of the random noise signal does not.) Ambient-noise spectrum levels are then determined by a direct comparison with the random-noise calibrate signal at each frequency. The use of this tone and random-noise calibration method eliminates the need for time-consuming calibration using many different frequencies to measure the frequency response of the system, although such calibrations can be made from time to time for comparison, using the external calibrate signal input. 120 T aa a FG T Ya ces CS T ln e-— SPSL OF TONE | 110 F 5 00 7 1/3-OCTAVE BAND LEVEL 7] / AT 1000 HZ @ 90 F = al MOD 2 eee ee ee ee — es L \ —— ee 19 MOD 1 7 ee pepe P| l ae ae era om ee We ea Ee 10 10? 10? 104 FREQUENCY (HZ) Figure 10.

Sound-Level Meter and Analyzer The sound-level meter, General Radio Type 1558-AP Octave Band Noise Analyzer, is a portable, battery-operated audio-frequency spectrum analyzer. The analyzer contains a high-impedance microphone preamplifier, selectable one- octave bandwidth filters, an output amplifier, and an indicat- ing meter. The gain of the analyzer can be set (depending on the sensitivity of the receiving transducer) so that the meter directly indicates the sound pressure level in any of its bands. The frequency response of the analyzer is flat +1 dB from about 20 Hz to 15, 000 Hz in the ALL PASS position. The output of the analyzer is normally used in the ALL PASS position to provide an input signal to the tape recorder. Table 2 lists the lower and upper cutoff frequencies at the 3-dB down points and center frequency for all the octave bands of the analyzer.

It can be used in a semipermanent installation where data are taken at periodic intervals, It can also be used for a system requiring a completely portable system, such as would be needed in a small boat where no ac power is available, and will operate for about 30 hours on its battery. The battery can be recharged using the built-in charger. The octave band filters of the analyzer provide the means of doing an on-the-spot frequency analysis of the noise. The ''A"' weighting position is useful for pre-equalization when recording noise with predominant low frequency content, Tape Recorders The kind of tape recorder to be used depends on where and how the noise-measuring system is to be used, When the measurements are being taken from a relatively large ocean-going research ship a good quality ac-operated tape recorder can be used. For use on a small boat, where portability is essential and ac power is not available, a battery-operated tape recorder is necessary. The tape recorders described below are the ones used in this system and serve as examples of the two types. The Ampex model 350-2P is a two-channel recorder which uses 10-1/2-inch reels of tape. Two tape speeds of 3-3/4 and 7-1/2 ips are available. The frequency response extends from about 15 Hz to 8000 Hz at the slower speed, and from about 10 Hz to 15, 000 Hz at the higher speed. The Uher 4000 Report-S is a portable battery- operated tape recorder which uses 5-inch reels of tape. Four speeds are available, 15/16, 1-7/8, 3-3/4, 7-1/2 ips. The measured frequency response for one of these tape recorders is shown in figure 11. These curves may be found to vary from the manufacturer's specifications depending on the condition and maintenance of the recorders. The effective response can be extended below the low-frequency limit by using a high playback-to-record ratio for the analysis of the data. RELATIVE LEVEL (DB) 100 1000 FREQUENCY (HZ) Figure 11. Frequency-response curves of the portable tape recorder. SELF-NOISE SOURCES The electronic system noise was discussed in the section on the hydrophone-preamplifier. This source of system noise was shown to be considerably below the noise levels to be expected from the lowest ambient-noise level likely to be encountered. Another source of self-noise is due to the motions of the cable and suspension system. In particular, self- noise arises from flow noise, cable vibrations caused by towing the cable, and accelerations and static pressure changes which are caused by vertical motions of the hydro- phone due to the action of surface waves on the system. In the cable systems which are described below the self-noise is reduced by isolating the hydrophone from the motion of the ocean and the motion of the ship. This is done through the use of shock cord in the suspension system and by main- taining slack in the cable during measurements, The accel- leration sensitivity of the hydrophone, as mentioned pre- viously, is minimized by design. The sensitivity of the system decreases below 10 Hz, so that it is relatively in- sensitive at the very low frequencies associated with major wave motion. 1) 20 Another source of self-noise is radiated noise from machinery on board the platform. This noise must be reduced in order to obtain valid ambient-noise measure- ments, It is also desirable to place the hydrophone as far from the platform as possible when making these measurements. FIELD TESTS Various hydrophone suspension systems and cable systems were tested at sea to attempt to devise a system or systems which have low self-noise, are simple to use, and which are adaptable for measurements in deep or shallow water. Tests were run using various cable combinations of buoyant and nonbuoyant cable and suspension systems to attempt to determine the self-noise of the cable systems for a taut and for a slack cable, and also to determine which system of those tested was most suitable. Descriptions of the suspension systems and of the cable systems follow. Hydrophone Suspensions The purpose of a hydrophone suspension is to isolate the hydrophone from vertical motions which are induced by surface waves and swells. The isolation should be sufficient to prevent "blocking" of the system which is caused when excessively high noise voltages are applied to the preampli- fier input. As a starting point for the development of a suspen- sion system, a system based on one developed by General Dynamics/Electric Boat was used? (fig. 12A). It consists of a hydrophone-preamplifier unit, a 50-foot cable, a buoy (a flexible inflated plastic hose), a 50-foot shock cord between the buoy and the 50-foot cable, and a 100-foot line, ‘also between the buoy and the 50-foot cable. The shock cord is meant to isolate the hydrophone from the motion of the surface waves and the line is to prevent the shock cord from being extended beyond its elastic limit and possibly breaking and the float being lost. The inflated buoy was weighted so that most of the float was underwater, the pur- pose being to reduce the effect of waves on it. The weight in water of the 50-foot cable and hydrophone was adjusted to about 2 or 3 pounds, so as to provide the right amount of weight on the shock cord for proper operation, Another suspension system which was tested is shown in figure 12B. It consists simply of floats attached to a line which is connected at the other end to the junction of a 50-foot cable and a 1000-foot length of nonbuoyant cable. No shock cord was used in this system for isolation. A suspension used during part of an extended cruise of USNS Charles H. Davis (AGOR-5) consisted simply of an inflated plastic hose, which was tied with about a 10-foot line about 300 feet from the sea end of the buoyant cable when operating in deep water. No shock cord was used in this suspension. The float can be attached at any place on the cable, thus regulating the depth of the hydrophone, The plastic hose was weighted so that most of it would be under- water, but with enough buoyancy remaining so that it could support the system. A spar buoy was used as a suspension for a system to be used on a small boat for taking data several miles from the mother ship. The spar buoy (see fig. 13) was a hollow plastic tube about 3 inches in diameter and about 20 feet long. One end was sealed airtight. In the operating position the lower end of the tube was left open and the tube was allowed to partially fill with water. The upper part of the tube contained some trapped air which provided the buoyancy. * The buoy was very stable and did not appear to be much affected by the wave action, It had enough buoyancy to support the hydrophone and cable which were attached to the bottom end, * The open-end spar buoy was suggested by J.J. Blanchard. 21 A. SYSTEM INCORPORATING SHOCK CORD B. SYSTEM UTILIZING NONBUOYANT CABLE AND BUOYANT CABLE TO SHIP. AND NO SHOCK CORD.

Spar-buoy type of suspension system as used from a small boat. 23 24 Cable Systems Figure 14 illustrates a cable system using all- buoyant cable with the shock-cord suspension system. The procedure used in this system was to let the suspension and part of the buoyant cable drift out from the ship a pre- determined distance, and hold the remainder of the cable on the deck coiled in a figure-8., The figure-8 was used so that there would be no twist in the cable as it was let out, At the start of a run the cable would be payed out fast enough to keep it slack but not so fast that it would tend to coil up as it floated on the surface. This system stabilized very quickly and there was little or no overloading of the signal from the hydrophone when the cable was slack, The recording time was limited to about 10 minutes with this system, since at a typical ship-drift rate of 1 knot a 1000- foot length of cable would drift out in about 12 minutes, A system using all nonbuoyant cable with the float and line suspension is illustrated in figure 15, The float provides enough buoyancy that the hydrophone would not be pulled under by the weight of the nonbuoyant cable, In this method of operation the floats and hydrophone would be placed overboard with a nylon line attached to the floats, About 300 feet of nylon line would be payed out, and also all the cable, so that initially the system would be as shown in figure 15, When ready for the test more nylon line would be payed out and the system would slowly drift apart until all slack in the cable would be taken up and the hydrophone would start being towed, To repeat a run the nylon line would be pulled in to about 300 feet as before. This system took more time to stabilize than did the previous cable system. ''Blocking" of the hydrophone-preamplifier occurred for some time atter the release of the nylon lane at the start of the run because of excessively high voltage levels probably caused by accelerations of the hydrophone; however the system settled down and thereafter was quiet. It was also noted that the combined weight of the cable and the drag made it necessary to use quite a large force to pull the cable back on board. It was feared that the cable > might not stand up to repeated use in this way. BUOYANT CABLE PLASTIC HOSE SHOCK CORD HY DROPHONE a Figure 14.

All-nonbuoyant cable system using a simple float suspension. 20 A third system used a combination of a buoyant and a nonbuoyant cable with the shock-cord suspension system (fig. 16). The buoyant cable was used to place the hydro- phone farther away from the ship, to minimize the inter- ference from the radiated noise of the ship. A nylon line was also used for this system and was attached to the float. The float had enough buoyancy to prevent the weight of the nonbuoyant cable from pulling the buoyant cable under the surface, The procedure used for this system is the same as that for the all-nonbuoyant cable system, The results obtained are similar to those of the previous system and, as before, the weights involved produced quite a large stress On the cable, A cable system that was used on the Charles H, Davis (AGOR-5) (fig. 17) employed the simple float system described earlier. The system consisted of a total of 1500 feet of buoyant cable to which was attached a 50-foot length of nonbuoyant cable with the hydrophone, A 7-pound weight was attached to the nonbuoyant cable about 5 feet from the hydrophone, to sink the system to the desired depth. The depth was selected by attaching the inflated hose at the proper distance from the hydrophone, The 7-pound weight also presents a greater inertia to accelerating forces on the system. The procedure involved releasing 500 feet of cable over the side and letting it drift away while keeping the remainder on the deck in a figure-8, During the run the cable was payed out just fast enough to keep it slack throughout the run. After the run the cable was brought back in and placed in a figure-8 in preparation for the next run, leaving 500 feet of cable out. Also used during the cruise of the Davis was a small-boat system consisting of nonbuoyant cable with the spar-buoy suspension system described earlier (fig. 18). About 500 feet was sufficient to provide a long enough slack period for an ambient-noise sample. A slack condition was obtained by paying out the nonbuoyant cable slowly while the spar buoy and the small boat drifted apart.

NONBUOYANT CABLE 29 30 RESULTS OF FIELD TESTS Self-Noise The magnitude of the self-noise of the various sus- pension and cable systems is illustrated in figure 19, These results were obtained by a one-third octave band analysis of the recorded noise from the simplified cable system used on the Davis (fig. 17). The figure shows the sound-pressure spectrum level of the noise at frequencies from 10 to 1000 Hz at three different times during the same run. One sample was taken before the run had started and shows the measured level while the cable was taut and the hydrophone was being towed at a speed of about 1 knot. The next sample was taken a few minutes later with the cable in a slack condition. The difference in the two samples is about 30 dB at 10 Hz and decreases with increasing frequency until at about 40 to 50 Hz there is practically no difference in the measured level. The third sample was taken when the cable was again taut. This high low-frequency noise level during towing was also observed in all of the other cable systems tested and is believed to be due to flow noise and cable vibration, Figure 20 shows four strip-chart records of the noise sample. Three of them are one-third octave band levels which are centered at 10, 50, and 1000 Hz, The fourth is a broadband record of the measured ambient noise, At 10 Hz the noise level is high at the start and begins to drop as soon as the cable becomes slack and then rises again as the cable becomes taut toward the end of the run, Note that the character of the noise in the 50- Hz and the 1000-Hz bands during the taut condition is dif- ferent from that in the slack-cable condition; however the level remains about the same.

These two systems overloaded more during the initial part of a run and took longer to stabilize than did the other systems. This effectively reduced the amount of slack time. Also, the two systems were not suitable for use in very Shallow water, since the nonbuoyant cable would drag on the bottom. The stresses on the cable were also greater for the nonbuoyant systems. The two remaining cable systems both use all- buoyant cable. One of them uses the shock-cord suspension and the other uses simply the inflated hose with no shock cord. Both of these systems are very quiet and both reach stability very quickly. The system without the shock cord has the advantages of not needing careful adjustment of the suspension system, and of permitting change in the hydro- phone depth by simply changing the location of the suspen- sion. In view of these features, the all-buoyant cable system without the shock-cord suspension was selected for general use, CONCLUSIONS A portable sound-pressure measuring system has been developed and used in a variety of situations, with the capability of measuring very low ambient-noise levels. High self-noise levels at frequencies less than 50 to 63 Hz are quite likely to be present if measurements are made from a drifting ship and the cable is towed at the drift velocity. These high levels are believed to be due to a combination of flow noise and noise arising from cable vibrations which impart accelerations to the hydrophone, These high self-noise levels can be satisfactorily eliminated by using the slack-cable system described in this report. 33 34 RECOMMENDATIONS If a tethered system is used, the cable system should be slack, and for a simple system an all-buoyant cable system should be used in preference to the non- buoyant type for measurements from a ship on the open ocean, Calibration of the system with the random noise should be done during the slack period; otherwise the high noise levels during towing may mask the random-noise calibrate signal at the lower frequencies, Use a "pink" random noise (-3 dB/octave slope) for calibration, when noise with a negative spectrum slope is to be measured, With the same broadband level a pink random noise has a higher spectrum level at low frequencies than does a flat random noise, If available, an untethered system should be used to obtain ambient-noise measurements from a platform in the open ocean. This system should have the capability of obtaining data at any selected depth. REFERENCES 1.

A2), The module contains a strain-gage pressure transducer, a differential amplifier, a VCO, and its own battery supply. The pres- sure transducer is calibrated by a resistor which is con- nected in parallel across one of the legs of the bridge. This lowers the resistance of the leg and corresponds to a known pressure change. The cylinder was designed to be inserted between the 50-foot cable and the longer sea cable. With the pres- sure module in the system, the hydrophone-preamplifier obtained its power from the internal battery supply of the module, This was done so that the output of the VCO could be placed on the leads which are normally used to bring power to the hydrophone preamplifier. The frequency of the VCO (12.5 to 14,5 kHz) was then measured with an HP model 521E frequency counter and recorded by a digital recorder model HP 561B. The digital clock is a model HP 971B. 37 PRESSURE MODULE SHIP EQUIPMENT CAL z | | STRAIN-GAGE | PRESSURE | DIGITAL 9V | TRANSDUCER l CLOCK al !

The system was shown to be capable of measuring very low ambient-noise levels. High self-noise levels at frequencies less than 50 to 63 Hz are likely to be present if measurements are made from a drifting ship, and the cable is towed at | drift velocity, probably because of a combination of flow noise and noise arising from cable vibrations. These high self-noise levels can be satisfactorily eliminated by using a slack cable system as described in the report.
