Noise Measurement and Analysis

Noise measurement and analysis services directed at:

  • Product sound testing and engineering
  • Building sound testing and assessment
  • Prediction of sound levels of proposed facility or transportation route changes
  • Unattended indoor/outdoor monitoring of sound levels
  • Environmental noise surveys
  • Assessing workplace health noise levels

Advanced Measurement Capabilities

  • Sound pressure level
  • 44 kHz capture and real-time analyses of up to 11 channels
  • Sound power and sound intensity measurement
  • Noise dosimetery
  • Real-time recording offering playback and future analysis
  • Integration of additional measurements such as vibration, strains, and displacements
  • A wide range of transducers and acquisition systems
  • Ability to gather CANBUS data from a vehicle network
  • Unattended indoor/outdoor monitoring
 

Advanced Analysis Capabilities

  • A superior combination of analytical and modeling tools
  • Frequency analysis in discrete frequency (FFT), 1/3 octave, or full octave to look at frequency content
  • Joint Time Frequency Analysis (JTFA) to see how the frequency content is changing over time
  • Order analysis to find component signatures for rotating machinery
  • Noise propagation modeling software to predict sound levels from facility changes or noise remediation techniques
