Talk:Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise

Question
« resulting in an audible sound if the frequency of vibrations lies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, ». What about below frequencies? e.g: Can a noise below the human ear possibilities, down to sub-harmonics levels, be produced by 3phase cables on some particular inductors-saturated environments? --RandomJohn (talk) 23:37, 2 September 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.243.54.38 (talk)

Suggest merge
Coil noise discusses substantially the same effect under a different name. It would seem useful to consolidate the description here. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:51, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Coil noise discusses a particular case of electromagnetically-excited noise (there is no need to have a coil to create magnetic noise, and the article is more general as it also deals with magnetic vibrations), I agree that coil noise could be included in Electromagnetically-excited acoustic noise and vibration. However I don't know yet how to make a merge in a clean way in Wikipedia. Dazhoid (talk) 11:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Merge completed
The merge of Coil noise in Electromagnetically-excited acoustic noise and vibration has been done following selective paster merger guidelines; the references used in Coil noise were not linked to any sentence of the article and were not complete, so I was unable to keep them in the complete article Electromagnetically-excited acoustic noise and vibration.Dazhoid (talk) 23:18, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise → Coil whine – Coil whine is both the most common name and the most concise name used to refer to the article subject. Google Search returns 285,000 search results for the query "coil whine", but only 980 search results for the query "electromagnetically induced acoustic noise". Popular press sources overwhelmingly prefer the layperson's term coil whine over the technical term electromagnetically induced acoustic noise. Feel free to suggest other titles. —  Newslinger  talk   07:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 15:45, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Support Per WP:COMMONNAME.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 1535, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Merge into Mains hum, the far more commmonword than either the current or proposed is "hum".84.236.27.182 (talk) 15:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE. -- Tavix  ( talk ) 01:02, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose The term "electromagnetically induced acoustic noise" is not used a lot, but it is more scientific and allows disambiguation. For more references on Google, we could use "magnetic noise", which gives 182000 results. "electromagnetic noise" refers to high frequencies (not audible) and electromagnetic compatibility which is a completely different topic. "coil whine" is too much specific as it is only about a specific passive component, excluding rotating machinery. Coil whine phenomenon has already been included in the article. "magnetic noise" is a general term which includes both "motor whine" (for rotating machines), "coil whine" (for inductor passive component)", and "mains hum". Whining noise refers to high frequency noise (typically 1kHz), while humming / buzzing is rather low frequency (typically 100 Hz). If it is really important to match with higher number of results in Google I suggest the use of "Magnetic noise" and to add the link to "mains hum" article inside the article.

 * Support magnetic noise as the common name. Thank you for the clarification. I proposed coil whine because it was one of the three bolded terms in the first sentence of the article. Bold terms in the first sentence are supposed to represent the article subject, not a subset of the article subject, so the opening paragraph should be rewritten to reflect this. —  Newslinger  talk   11:44, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
