  This paper presents a numerical investigation of aerodynamic noise generated
by a generic side-view mirror mounted on a flat plate using the Stress Blended
Eddy Simulation (SBES) coupled with the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H)
equation. A grid evaluation study was performed using a standardised side-view
mirror with a Reynolds Number (Re) of 5.2 x10^5 based on the diameter of the
model. The predictions for hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations on the mirror,
the window and the sound emitted at various microphone locations are in good
agreement with previously published experimental data. In addition, our
numerical results indicate that yawing the mirror closer to the side window
results in the flow being attached to the rear of the mirror resulting in an
overall reduction in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) at several receiver locations.
