This paper exploits how vortex noise is generated around a cylinder. This is done by utilizing an acoustic holography. In this experiment. compressed air was Infected to tile cylinder through a hose. Therefore, major noise sources were at a hose end as well as around the cylinder: vortex shedding noise. The holography results show a resultant noise picture there it is not easy to clearly sort out the shedding noise and what is generated at the end of the tube. We attempted to separate those noise by the method we developed : contribution analysis scheme. The method, in fact, was found to be efficient and practical to separate the noise field into independent noise sources. The highlights of the results are. we believe, that lift and drag noise picture are now available. This procedure does not limit its application. therefore we may use this to visualize any noise field that we want to understand.
