Two vibrating circular membranes radiate acoustic waves into the region bounded by three infinite
baffles arranged perpendicularly to one another. The Neumann boundary value problem has been inves-
tigated in the case when both sources are embedded in the same baffle. The analyzed processes are time
harmonic. The membranes vibrate asymmetrically. External excitations of different surface distributions
and different phases have been applied to the sound sources’ surfaces. The influence of the radiated
acoustic waves on the membranes’ vibrations has been included. The acoustic power of the sound sources
system has been calculated by using a complete eigenfunctions system.
