1. A method for mapping 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 N equations and N unknowns by accounting for a reciprocal influence of a beamforming characteristic thereof at varying grid locations among said plurality of grid locations; iteratively determining a full-rank equation from said linear configuration of N equations and N unknowns based on a DAMAS 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 full-rank equation among said linear configuration of N equations and N unknowns, thereby removing said beamforming characteristic from said output presentation.
