What produces ultrasound in a leak? When a gas passes through a restricted orifice under pressure, it is going from a pressurized laminar flow to low pressure turbulent flow. The turbulence generates a broad spectrum of sound. There are ultrasonic components in the sound and since the ultrasound will be the loudest by the leak site, the detection of these signals is usually quite simpe.
