Webinar – Sound Source Identification

This webinar is past. It is available as a replay. Please contact us to get it: webinar@oros.com

SSI techniques offer informative acoustic maps and quantitative information on test objects. Based on these, people can quickly locate sound sources, determine the root cause of the unwanted noise, and decide where the noise reduction effort is to be concentrated. SSI is widely used in many application domains, such as noise reduction, quantification of noise radiation, quality control, health monitoring.

There are three main SSI techniques. Sound Intensity mapping is an easy and cost-efficient method, especially in noisy environments. In contrast, Beamforming and Near-field Acoustic Holography (NAH) are array-based approaches. Beamforming is well suited for providing a quick overview of the complete test object, while NAH focuses on sub-sets of the object and provides detailed acoustical information.

Depending on your application field, frequency range of interest, required accuracy, measurement environment, etc., different solutions should be selected. The three techniques are compared from different aspects, and the experimental results of the same test object are shown in the presentation, helping you choose the solution which suits your need the most.
