1. A method for mapping coherent or incoherent acoustic sources determined from a phased microphone array, comprising a plurality of microphones arranged in an optimized grid pattern including a plurality of grid locations thereof, comprising: forming a linear configuration of equations and unknowns using cross-beamforming characteristics thereof at varying grid locations among said plurality of grid locations; iteratively determining an equation from said linear configuration of equations and unknowns based on a DAMAS-C inverse formulation; and generating an optimized noise source distribution over an identified aeroacoustic source region associated with said phased microphone array in order to compile an output presentation thereof in response to iteratively determining said equation among said linear configuration of equations and unknowns, thereby removing said beamforming characteristic from said output presentation.
