Courses and Seminars on Noise and Vibration


logo

We can provide in-company training for a fuller understanding of noise and vibration measurements. Courses can be designed to match your specific needs. It is more important to correctly understand the fundamentals of noise and vibration, than to move immediately to advanced applications without adequate preparation.

Our courses focus on true understanding so that all trainees will be able to make the right test and measurements decisions later on. We also aim our courses at a good working knowledge of the entire measurement chain. Correct choice, calibration and use of sensores like accelerometers and microphones are just as important as knowing how to manupulate date in a spreadsheet.

    Sound Quality of Products and Psychoacoustics


    Besides objective product specifications, mechanical product sounds are increasingly used to stimulate impuls buying of consumer products. The sound of a car door closing is synonomous with perceived product quality. Systems exist for objectively evaluating psychological evaluation of product sound.

    Practical Use of Modern Analysis Systems


    Spectral analysis of noise and vibration leads to a better understanding of the origins of signals. A baffling array of analysis systems exist with a wide range of application possibilities. A made-to-measure training will help you get meaningful results efficiently from your old or new analysis systems and avoid pitfalls. Everything from calibration of your system to fully documented reports can be explained in clear purposeful instructions.
