Sound radiation from stationary and rotating point acoustic sources with shield of rigid prolate spheroidal baffles is explored in the prolate spheroidal coordinate system. The formulae of far-field sound pressure and acoustic power are derived and acoustic power spectral density (PSD) in terms of circumferential and azimuthal wavenumber is manifested from the low frequency range to high frequency range. Acoustic wave propagation features in the spherical coordinate system as a particular case of the prolate spheroidal coordinate system are presented. Rotating sound sources cause the frequency veering phenomenon and change the patterns of PSD. Some spheroidal harmonic waves with lower and higher wavenumber for the large prolate spheroids cannot contribute to far-field sound radiation in the high frequency range when sound sources are close to the axes of the spheroids. Sound pressure directivity and acoustic power of stationary point sound sources are also analyzed with the variation of source location.
