Analytical acoustic power spectrum formulations for the rotating monopole and dipole point sources are proposed by employing the spherical harmonic series expansion method. Both the analytical acoustic power spectra and the overall acoustic power show a good agreement with the results obtained from other methods. A nondimensional acoustic power ratio (APR) is employed to investigate the effects of the rotational Mach number, the direction of the dipole source, and the number of sources on the acoustic power output.
