The induction noise reduction unit and the ventilation noise reduction unit may be disposed on the cabin body. The surrounding of the cabin body frame may be filled with soundproof materials. The induction noise reduction unit may be used to reduce the induction noise of the turbine engine 7. The ventilation noise reduction unit may be used to reduce the noise of the ventilation system of the turbine engine 7. The soundproof materials may include but are not limited to glass fiber cotton, rock wool, polyurethane, aluminum honeycomb panels, peak type cotton, etc.

The induction noise reduction unit may include an intake filter 6, an intake silencer 5, an intake chamber 2 and an intake piping. The intake chamber 2 may be disposed on the top of the cabin body. The intake filter 6 may be arranged on the outer side face of the intake chamber 2, and the intake silencer 5 may be arranged on the inner side face of the intake chamber 2, with the position of the intake filter 6 corresponding to that of the intake silencer 5. The bottom of the intake chamber 2 may be provided with an air outlet, through which the intake chamber 2 is connected to one end of the intake piping. The other end of the intake piping may be connected to an air inlet of the turbine engine 7. Both the top and bottom surfaces of the intake chamber 2 may be filled with soundproof materials. As shown in FIG. 1, the induction noise reduction unit or the intake chamber may be configured in the power transmission of the turbine power transmission direction (or axial direction) to cover the entire length of the turbine engine and also cover the end frames (in the power transmission direction) of the cabin body, when viewed from the top. Likewise, as shown in FIG. 1, the induction noise reduction unit or the intake chamber may be configured in a direction perpendicular power transmission of the turbine power transmission direction (or axial direction) in the horizontal plane to cover the entire width of the turbine engine and also at least cover or extend over the end frames (in the direction perpendicular to the power transmission direction) of the cabin body, when viewed from the top. In other words, in a top view, the induction noise reduction unit or the intake chamber at least covers a peripheral boundary of the cabin body.

There may be no intake filters 6 and intake silencers 5 arranged at the exhaust end of the turbine engine 7. The exhaust end refers to the end at which the exhaust duct 10 of the turbine engine 7 is disposed. The side face of the intake chamber 2 at the side of the exhaust end can also be filled with soundproof materials.
