The surface roughness of the plate considered for the study is in the range of 5 to 19 mm, and the jet velocity at the nozzle exit is varied from 20 to 56 m/s. Acoustic measurements of the different roughness plate wall jets are carried out at a distance of 60 cm from the jet axis and compared with that of a smooth surface. The spectral results indicate that the noise emissions from rough surface wall jets are lower in the frequency range (0.3{\^a}3.0 kHz), and the corresponding sound pressure levels are lower by around 5 dB compared to the noise from a smooth surface. Concurrently, the surface roughness is significant in generating higher noise levels by around 5 dB in the frequency range of 3 to 12 kHz compared to its counterpart.", }
