There are many sounds that can be perceived by the consumer as being “right”. When shutting the door of an automobile, it must have that full sound the consumer expects despite the need of lightweight construction. The sound of a sports car versus the sound of a family sedan is an expected characteristic of car brands. These examples and many more is why so much effort goes into making sure the desired sound is achieved while eliminated the disturbances. The Acoustic Camera can help greatly in achieving a sound that is just right.
Wind tunnel module
The Acoustic Camera is the ideal system for acoustic measurements in a wind tunnel. With corrections for widening angle and shear layer effects, the NoiseImage specialized wind tunnel module perfectly compensates for the complex aerodynamics to find sources of noise on vehicle exteriors. In just minutes, you can capture and illustrate the noise sources on a vehicle destined for the open highway.
Advanced algorithms
Our advanced calculation algorithms can illustrate the highly complex sound field in a wind tunnel to amazing precision. A beamforming system powered by the Acoustic Camera and NoiseImage is so powerful, that you can illustrate the acoustic effects of design changes as miniscule as adding a layer of tape to a side mirror.

A 2D Acoustic Camera system can range from a simple point-and-shoot troubleshooting machine to a cutting-edge system capable of finding noises that live on the border of human perception... and well beyond! With a wide variety of microphone array geometries, we can build the perfect system to locate virtually any acoustic source you can think of, and show it to you in a simple photo.
3D microphone arrays
Whether you have a noise that could be coming from any direction, or you simply want to completely analyze an enclosed space, our 3D arrays have you covered. Our acoustically transparent arrays are capable of beamforming in all directions simultaneously. Our 3D software module takes this information and overlays the acoustic field on a CAD model, providing you an interactive analysis of the sound environment with minimal effort.
