Monopole:

1 Baffle, 1 set of driver, front firing , Bookshelf speaker,

Simplest source, a small pulsating sphere. Periodic additon and substraction of
mass. E.g. Open end of organ pipe, Baffled Loudspeaker.
Loudspeaker where large open end with source mounted on it. Here, source region
shud be small compared to wavelength.

Model for application of mass to fluid

Dipole:
Model for sound generation of application of force to fluid
Unbaffled loudspeaker for source small compared to wavlength
FLuid jet impinging on a solid surface.
Axial fan blades. (e.g. desktop back end fans)

Quadruple: Two monopoles

Sound generation by moment or couple applied to fluids
E.g. Turbulent vortices interacting in a flow. Jet mixing noise accosictae with
turbulent vortices
