We report an experimental investigation on the scattering of sound by the vortical wake flow created downstream a thin flat plate with a moving flap at the trailing edge. Two situations were examined: a) the free case, when the flap remained in a fixed horizontal position without external forcing and b) the harmonic forced case, when the flap is in continuous periodic motion of small amplitude. The sound scattering processes on both free- and forced-wake flows, provided a direct spectral measurement, in Fourier space, of the spatial and temporal modes of the wake as a function of the thickness-based Reynolds number.
