13-07: Microbial Corrosion on Metallic Surfaces Utility IndustryThe underlying conclusion to past studies on microbial corrosion is that it is a complex subject, still not yet well understood. Its been found that many bacterial species can be part of the corrosion process, different metal surfaces show different progressions of corrosion, and microbes can also inhibit corrosion of the metals. There is no consensus as to the role microbes can play; it is quoted from varying sources that microbial induced corrosion

and potentially reduce or eliminate the use of acid for pH reduction

the word "noise" will refer to any undesirable air-borne sound
