Abstract
A nacelle for a turbomachine is provided and includes an inner wall that is annular about a longitudinal axis of the nacelle, the annular inner wall being designed to surround part of the turbomachine. The nacelle further includes an annular outer wall surrounding the annular inner wall. The annular outer wall includes a first acoustically porous part, and the annular inner wall including a second acoustically porous part. The first and second porous parts are arranged facing one another so as to allow soundwaves, emitted by the turbomachine housed in the nacelle, to pass through the annular inner wall and then the annular outer wall so as to escape from the nacelle.
