Sound radiation is not only a function of velocity amplitude!
Sound pressure p for two plates vibrating in the same spatial pattern, both
with equal velocity amplitude v0 but with different frequencies. There is,
however, a big difference in the sound radiation! Radiation efficiency σ!
at 50 Hz and at 200 Hz

Conclusion
§ ANSYS FEM for structural vibration analysis, multiphysics analysis
(e.g. electro-magnetic excitation)
§ SBSOUND (ANSYS macro library provided by CADFEM) for a quick
rough structure-borne sound assessment
§ WAON for really doing fully-fledged acoustic simulations
§ FMBEM is a very comfortable technique particularly for the new user
because there is no need for volume meshing like in acoustic FEM
§ FMBEM technique overcomes the traditional drawback of
conventional BEM: matrix storage requirements & large CPU time
due to direct solvers. High-speed iterative solvers available.
§ FMBEM by WAON allows the analysis of large scale models & high
frequencies
§ acoustics is easy – acoustics is fun!
