ing one or more of the sympathetic frequencies, or changing the pump<br />

generating frequency by a change of spe<strong>ed</strong> or blade number. With a<br />

bolt<strong>ed</strong>-on crossover a simpler solution is to add calculat<strong>ed</strong> pipe length<br />

between pump case <strong>and</strong> cross-over, which will change the wave length<br />

<strong>and</strong> relocate the acoustic frequency away from the generating frequency<br />
