An aircraft wheel noise reduction fairing ( 8 ) includes a disk ( 10 ) having first and second sides ( 12, 14 ) and a plurality of circumferentially disposed openings ( 16 ) between the first side ( 12 ) and the second side ( 14 ) and at least one mesh structure ( 24, 26 ) connected to the second side ( 14 ) of the disk ( 10 ) overlying the plurality of circumferentially disposed openings ( 16 ). Also the combination of an aircraft wheel ( 30 ) and a noise reduction fairing ( 8 ) wherein the aircraft wheel ( 30 ) includes a hub ( 32 ) surrounding a wheel axis of rotation ( 34 ), a web ( 36 ) projecting from the hub ( 32 ) and a cylindrical wall ( 40 ) having an inner surface ( 42 ) and an outer surface ( 44 ) connected to the web ( 36 ) and surrounding the axis of rotation ( 34 ). The wall ( 40 ) has an end edge ( 46 ) spaced from the web ( 36 ), a flange ( 48 ) spaced from the end edge ( 46 ) and projecting from the cylindrical wall ( 40 ), and the fairing ( 8 ) includes a plurality of circumferentially disposed openings and is mounted in the cylindrical space defined by the cylindrical wall ( 40 ).
