Flapping-wing micro air vehicles are prized for quiet flight, yet the few existing measurements show engineered wings to be 15-30 dB louder than the animals they imitate. This paper investigates two passive geometric approaches to reduce the acoustic signature of a flapping membrane wing, and applies these to an exemplary wing. A significant sound source in flapping wings is the impulsive click radiated at stroke reversal, when a slack membrane snaps between two curvatures. Our first noise-reduction approach optimises the wing's venation layout, based on an analytical model of the reversal click as a dynamic snap-through of the membrane. The optimised venation pattern was manufactured and resulted in a reduction of up to 8 dB during the reversal snap in experiments. During testing, the venation was found to be sensitive to orientation rather than thickness. Secondly, an additive trailing-edge fringe inspired by hummingbird feathers was shown to further reduce the broadband swoosh by 3-4 dB at no lift cost, matching a cut serration wing without removing lifting area.
