Visualising sound
Description
The programme will start with the General Assembly of the Measurement, Control and Steering Technology Department. This will be followed by a lecture.
Imaging sound, or putting sound into images. A thermal camera, but for sound. Why? Noise is a recognised problem in today's modern society. The trend towards lightweight and cheaper product design is partly responsible for increasing irritation, nuisance and damage to our environment. Effective measures that minimise noise emission are only possible when the source of the noise is known. The 'Sound Imaging' method developed by Rick Scholte makes it possible to visualise and quantify noise sources. This is done on the basis of spatial measurements of sound at a certain distance from the sound source. Indeed, the system is capable of calculating the entire sound field up to a certain distance from the source, in any direction.
Dr.ir. Rick Scholte is managing director and founder of Sorama. They help product developers optimise the sound level of products. There is a clear need in the industry to comply with legislation and to differentiate their product from the competition. To do this, Sorama uses sound cameras based on the 'Sound Imaging' method. Features of this method are its unique sharpness and reliability to visualise the sound field of products and vibrations in structures. This enables product developers to implement highly effective and cost-efficient noise and vibration measures. Sorama provides this method as a service and, in the near future, as a product
