An aerodynamic sound generated by a flow inside a duct is one of the noise pro- blems. Flows in ducts with uneven surfaces such as grooves or cavities can be seen in various industrial devices and industrial products such as air-conditioning equipment in various plants or piping products. In this article, we have performed experiments and simulations to clarify acoustic and flow-induced sound characteris- tics of L-shaped duct with a shallow cavity installed. The experiments and simula- tions were performed under several inflow velocity conditions. The results show that the characteristics of the flow-induced sound in the duct are strongly affected by the acoustic characteristics of the duct interior sound field and the location of the shallow cavity. Especially, it was found that the acoustic characteristics were af- fected by the location of the shallow cavity in the frequency range between 1000 Hz and 1700 Hz.
