Cavitaton noise from collapsing bubbles generates noise pulses and a cavitation noise spectrum. This paper examines the relationship of cavitation bubble noise pulse and the noise spectra. The scaling relationships are developed from the transformation relationships of bubble potential energy into bubble noise. The resulting scaling relationships allow the bubble cavitation noise spectra to be reduced to a single curve. The analysis leads to a second relationship for sheet cavitation noise spectrum.
