Problems can arise with regard to noise created by bleed valve arrangements in gas turbine engines. It is known to utilize pressure differential inducing elements such as pepper pots and perforated surfaces in order to attenuate noise from bleed valves. However, these arrangements tend to have a portion which expands such that the exit aperture into a bypass duct wall can significantly affect mechanical strength and operational performance. By providing internally created pepper pots or other pressure differential inducing elements within a path of an arrangement and a constriction to an exit noise attenuation is still achieved but with less detrimental effect with regard to bypass duct wall strength and aerodynamic losses altering operational performance.
