Application Notes Sound & Vibration

In this section you will find a glossary of terms used in the fields of sound and vibration acquisition, analysis and evaluation. The document can be used as a reference and for familiarization with the various fields of acoustics.

The application notes in this section provide background information on binaural perception, recording and playback.

You intend to carry out listening tests? These application notes assists you with the preparation and the evaluation. Moreover, you find an application note with information on how to create sound quality metrics.

Sound power and sound intensity are important acoustic sound energy quantities. The following application notes explain important terms, why sound power and sound intensity are relevant quantities, and the various measurement methods.

By knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of structures, they can be optimised by design measures with regard to their mechanical vibrations. The application notes in this section give you a glossary of the most important terms relating to structural dynamics as well as an overview of the various measurement and analysis methods.

Where does a sound come from and how is it composed? This is the central question to be answered in transfer path analysis (TPA). The following application notes will provide insights into the procedure.
