The analysis of the propagation of sound waves in narrow tubes has usually been restricted to shapes yielding tractable mathematical expressions. A great number of practical applications do not fall within these categories and await a solution. An approximate solution of sufficient accuracy for narrow tubes of arbitrary shapes developed in this paper has been applied to a wire‐filled tube. The theoretical predictions check satisfactorily with the experimental results. It is believed that this study will be useful in other similar applications.
