Abstract HVDC converter station consists of a number of equipment such as converter transformer, ac filter, thyristor valve and so on. They can be acoustic noise sources. In this paper, we analyzed the simulation results of the outdoor acoustic noise for HVDC converter station. It shows that maximum noise level in boundary of HVDC converter station exceeds regulation value. The main factors in generating maximum noise level are ac filter and converter transformer. Then we applied some soundproof countermeasures in HVDC converter station. Shielding wall is enough to reduce transformer noise level but not enough to reduce ac filter noise level. In case of ac filter, soundproof building is effective in satisfying noise level regulation in boundary of HVDC converter station. In addition, we also studied effects of season, soundproof woods, ground.
