This paper investigates the possibility of suppressing flow-induced vibration of a rectangular cylinder by applying periodic excitation to the flow around the cylinder. The excitation is applied at the leading edge of a rectangular cylinder through the sound by speakers. The characteristics of the vortex-induced vibration are examined through experiments. The experimental results show that the vibration amplitude of the cylinder was reduced significantly when there is a sound excitation with a specific frequency.
