Diagnostic Testing

We are able to offer a very broad range of standard and non-standard diagnostic tests which can be used to quantify noise or vibration and identify the causes and propagation paths. Once these sources and their associated transmission paths are better understood the prospects for noise control are much improved.

Our diagnostic tests include:

• Sound power rank ordering
• Transfer path analysis
• Sound intensity
• Nearfield acoustic holography
• Modal analysis
• Power flow methods
• Acoustic source localisation (source tracking, source tracking)
• Vibration source localisation (source tracking, source tracking)
