Abstract
In one form of the invention, a counterrotating pair of aircraft propellers produces noise in the form of a frequency-modulated carrier wave. The frequency modulation allows a designer to manipulate the energy spectrum of the noise in order to, for example, place much of the acoustic energy into inaudible frequency ranges.
