A rotor system for a turbine engine. The rotor system includes a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor blades that rotate. The stator assembly includes a plurality of stator vanes arranged circumferentially about the stator assembly and includes at least one pair of non-uniform gaps between adjacent stator vanes. The plurality of stator vanes includes a first group of stator vanes having a first non-uniform gap between adjacent stator vanes, a second group of stator vanes having a second non-uniform gap between adjacent stator vanes, and a third group of stator vanes having a uniform spacing between adjacent stator vanes. The first non-uniform gap is positioned 180° from the second non-uniform gap. The plurality of rotor blades directs air through the plurality of stator vanes.
