This paper describes recent accomplishments in the collection and interpretation of noise data from the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). Automated data collection has provided data for a variety of reactor conditions and phenomena from several fuel cycles. This automated method has aided the interpretation of neutron noise from control rod vibrations and structure vibrations.
