Consulting & Measurement Services

 

   Acoustics & Noise Control offers over twenty five years of professional experience in noise & vibration measurement and reduction. Most of our work is in the product-related area though we do provide measurement and consulting services for work place, environmental and architectural acoustics. Our laboratory is well equipped with the latest in instrumentation and analysis software. We also offer a modest hemi-anechoic test space and a large outdoor test site. Some of the services that offer are listed below.

Services Offered:

  • Sound & Vibration measurements

  • Training workshops on basic theory and measurement techniques

  • Design of test procedures and programs

  • Design of test facilities

  • Selection of and training on the use of instrumentation

  • Setting of test specifications to meet customer needs

  • National and international standards

  • Auditing for test requirements and test results

  • Setting production QA procedures and requirements

Experience 

  ANC is well aware of the measurement process. We have acted as consultants to a leading instrumentation manufacturer on the application of instruments to the measurement process. We have also been involved the development of software for visualization of noise and vibration data. Our experience have ranged from space craft, aircraft, trains, automobiles, house hold appliances, industrial machinery, environmental, work place, computer chip manufacturing facilities, clean rooms, quiet rooms, anechoic chambers, audiometric booths and much more. 

The Problem 

  Many noise and vibration projects are doomed to failure from the very start. This is because many companies do not have in-house specialists or the proper instrumentation or facilities for such specialized problems. In addition, they can't afford to invest in the capital equipment or time required getting the job done properly. The most difficult task in any noise or vibration problem is obtaining accurate repeatable measurement data. For this, you need the experience, instrumentation and facilities. 

 

The Solution 

  Acoustics & Noise Control (ANC) can provide the parts of your program that you require in a very cost-effective way. ANC has been closely involved in the design of measurement instrumentation and analysis software as well as in the development measurement standards. We believe good data is essential to any successful program. We have the experience to either make those measurements ourselves or to educate others. 

  On our projects, we can very easily do the work ourselves but our preferred way to operate is to train someone on our clients' staff as we do a project. We do not keep our process secret. It's our sincerest belief that if the company is large enough then they should have a trained specialist on staff.

We Are Cost Effective 

  Without a doubt, using ANC can be cost effective. It can shave months off of your project, which easily covers the consulting fees. We can train your staff in a minimum of time. We can provide the proper instrumentation at the time it's needed. We also help you analyze that data. When the data quality improves, there is a much better understanding of the problems, resulting in less trial and error in the control efforts. All of this results in fewer man hours and lower capital equipment costs.

Commitment 

  ANC has had a long-term commitment to making the measurement process both easier and better by improving the instrumentation, software and the measurement techniques. We do this through our active participation on standards committees and by providing inputs to leading hardware and software manufacturers, and software vendors. Finally, we pass our learned knowledge on to our customers through our consulting and educational services. Our work can be seen in the marketplace. 

Technical Resource

  We're available for our customers, when the going gets tough. There will be times when things don't go well or the data doesn't make sense. It's essential to have a resource, an expert that's there when needed.
