  9. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The torsional deflection of a simple cylinder cannot radiate efficiently acoustic noise, but with particular boundary conditions the stator can radiate acoustic noise under torque ripple excitation. [8] Structure-borne noise can also be generated by torque ripple when rotor shaft line vibrations propagate to the frame [9] and shaft line.
