A Deep Dive into Scan&Paint 2D
April 15, 2026
NVH Engineers face acoustic challenges every day. This could be troubleshooting noise, optimising products or improving soundproofing. Identifying the true source of unwanted sound is rarely straightforward. Traditional acoustic measurements can tell you how loud something is, but they often struggle to clearly show where the noise is coming from.…
A Deep Dive Into the SV 307A
April 13, 2026
Managing environmental noise is a key part of modern construction, infrastructure projects, and urban development. But how do you measure it reliably, over long periods, without constant site visits? Well, with a permanent noise monitoring station. Introducing the SV 307A, giving consultants, construction companies and environmental professionals a dependable way…
Where Can You Use the NoisePAD?
October 20, 2025
When it comes to analysing noise and vibration on site, we know that you’re constantly on the move. That’s why you need portability, and durability. And few instruments pack as much capability into such a compact form as the NoisePAD™ from SINUS. At less than a kilogram in weight, this…
Why Type Approved Certification Matters
October 13, 2025
When you’re choosing a noise monitoring system, you want to have trust in that kit and you need to know the data that you are collecting is accurate, reliable and defensible. Sometimes behind the impressive branding and technical specs, the calibration certificate that comes with the instrument doesn’t really tell…
What is a Measurement Microphone?
September 29, 2025
What is a measurement microphone? Well, it’s not the one used on stage, nor in a podcast studio, and definitely not one of the many in your phone or noise-cancelling headphones. It doesn’t colour or enhance the sound but (surprise!) is designed to measure sound pressure level accurately, repeatably and…
What is Dynamic Range, Frequency Range and Sensitivity?
June 30, 2025
When you’re choosing a microphone, whether for recording music, capturing environmental sounds, or monitoring industrial noise, the technical specs can feel like a foreign language. Terms like sensitivity, dynamic range, and frequency response might sound intimidating, but they’re actually pretty straightforward once you break them down. In this guide, we’ll…
What Is Acoustic Imaging?
June 25, 2025
You have probably never heard of an acoustic camera, how can we see sound? Well today we’re answering the question, what is acoustic imaging? Let’s face it… most people have never even heard of an acoustic camera, let alone used one. But stick with us, because these devices are not…
Acoustic Imaging is Being Used For Leak Detection in Manufacturing
June 11, 2025
Manufacturing is the backbone of modern industry, producing everything from automobiles to wind turbines and solar panels. However, many manufacturing processes rely on complex gas and vacuum systems, where leaks can lead to inefficiencies, product defects, and even safety hazards. Leaks in manufacturing facilities aren’t an uncommon problem. With the…
Gas Leak Detection at Givaudan using Acoustic Imaging
May 29, 2025
In industries producing raw materials for cosmetics, detergents, and other products, hazardous gases like ethylene pose a constant risk. These gases are highly flammable and, if undetected, can lead to explosions, serious injuries, and costly downtime. Normally, traditional methods such as handheld gas sniffers, soap and bubble tests and fixed…
