Sound is all around us, especially in the products we interact with every day. We call it noise when we dislike it. This can also be a sign of disruptive functioning. Therefore, engineering teams around the globe work hard to reduce noise in the products they develop.
The key is to quickly understand where sound comes from. Array-based sound source localization techniques give fast results that accurately identify sound sources, which can be measured in one shot and produce results that are easy to interpret.
The Simcenter™ Sound Camera™ system is a part of the extensive Simcenter sound source localization product portfolio, part of the Simcenter portfolio. It has a wide range of applications for many industries. This modular, high-quality digital microphone array offers an instant overview of sound sources for any noise-generating object. It can easily be used by occasional users as
Automotive and transportation
Simcenter Sound Camera provides automotive engineering teams with versatility and flexibility for accurate sound source localization. It is used to investigate noise in diverse applications, such as acoustic leak detection, powertrain noise qualification, door slams, wind shield wipers and brake systems.
Heavy equipment and industrial machinery
When assessing noise issues for bulldozers or excavators in the lab or field, using Simcenter Sound Camera helps diminish overall noise by identifying the parts that require optimization. This helps to improve the brand perception of highly durable equipment.
Aviation and space
Complex and expensive in-flight or wind tunnel acoustic testing can be complemented with Simcenter Sound Camera to quickly and economically assess acoustic performance. It is an excellent tool for measuring exterior noise on the ground, and detecting cabin noise, seal leakage and source contribution
Consumer and white goods
Brand perception is extremely important in the consumer and white goods sectors. As sound design can make or break a brand, large investments are made to perfect product acoustics. Using Simcenter Sound Camera can quickly reveal acoustic weak spots, letting engineers focus on solving the right problem.
