ISVR Consulting has a long track record of helping manufacturers to design and develop products where noise and vibration are factors. Contact us to find out how we can provide support from the early stages of your design process. For example, we could help you evaluate or benchmark competitor products to establish a design target, or assess an existing product to identify the main sources of noise or vibration that need to be controlled.
Noise source identification
We identify the main sources of product noise and/or vibration so that modifications can be developed to reduce them. To pinpoint the dominant sources we use a range of methods, including:
- screening, shielding or isolation of components
- dividing products into sub-assemblies
- testing under different speed/load conditions
- ducting of inlet and outlet paths
- analysing the response to continuous or impact excitation using shakers or instrumented hammers
Product development facilities
Our facilities include:
- a product development lab, which houses a wide range of noise and vibration equipment and analysers.
- shaker units to excite structure, and load units to assess torque levels
- experimental and computer modal analysis of structures
- workshop and laboratory facilities for prototype development and modification
- anechoic and reverberant acoustic test chambers for final testing of fully developed products
Projects
Our experts have worked with numerous clients on a wide range of products, including:
- medical devices and equipment
- power tools
- ventilation plant
- food processors
- microwave ovens
- generator sets
- flushing mechanisms
- audio-visual and computer hardware
- alarm sounders
