Features:
- Leverages specialized soundproof facilities to evaluate products across different frequency ranges, uncovering how sounds originate and dissipate beyond simple decibel readings
- Offers targeted improvement suggestions during design phase, allowing engineers to identify potential noise sources and optimize structural design before mass production
- Rapid in-house feedback mechanisms empower engineers to optimize designs efficiently, reducing dependence on third-party laboratories and cutting down development lead times
- Ensures standardized and reliable data collection by maintaining strict separation during measurement, minimizing external interference for "pure" results
- Testing processes, including data collection methods, measurement distances and reporting formats, are fully tailored to specific customer configurations and application scenarios
- Aligns with IATF 16949 (automotive quality), ISO 9001 (manufacturing) and ISO 14001 (environmental)
