The airflow generated noise inside a simple expansion chamber muffler is predicted by combining large eddy simulation and Morhing acoustic analogy in the present work, and a good agreement is observed between the prediction and measurement. Research indicates that wall pressure fluctuations are dominated by hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations at the distance of first three pipe diameters in the outlet pipe, and wall pressure fluctuations at the distance of six pipe diameters downstream are dominated by sound pressure fluctuations. The airflow generated noise is mainly attributed to the vortex generated by structural change in the muffler, and one observes strong influences at the longitudinal resonance frequency and antiresonance frequency of the expansion chamber. In addition, the effects of expansion chamber lengths, extensions of inlet/outlet, filleted structure, conical tube, and perforated tube on airflow generated noise are studied. Predicted results show that the filleted structure, conical tube, and perforated tube structure may reduce the airflow generated noise effectively.
