Noise Recording and Analysis Service
Noise and Recording and Analysis – Expertise and Practical Experience. We probably have more experience and expertise in field noise and vibration recording and analysis than any other organisation. We developed the first bespoke noise nuisance recorder (DAT tape technology) and were at the forefront of the fledgling PC based analysis capabilities in the 80’s.
All our consultants have always had recorders for site work (recording from both sound level meters and vibration meters) so we can provide unparalleled and practical technical support for both our own hardware and software and for that from other organisations. Current users include a host of Local Authorities, all the Environment Agencies, engineering companies, consultants…
Typical Applications for FrequencyMaster include:-
- environmental noise analysis – BS4142, diagnosis, low frequency (LF) noise complaints, prediction
- analysis of noise nuisance recorder recordings
- environmental and occupational noise control – diagnosis
- fault diagnosis – noise and vibration frequency analysis for engineers
- product testing – noise and vibration frequency analysis
- training – noise and vibration analysis and visualisation
New version 3 of the best selling frequency analyser – now with unique i-Player facilities for high speed subjective sound processing.
Narrow band frequency analysis of tonal noise is a very powerful and useful tool for environmental assessment, source identification, noise and vibration control, machine fault diagnosis and many other applications. The main barriers to widespread use have been a combination of cost and the sheer “user hostility” of most FFT analysers. New technology has allowed us to change the rules of the game as far as frequency analysis is concerned.
FrequencyMaster makes sophisticated analysis and display techniques accessible to everyone at little more than the cost of a replacement microphone. Real time FFT, 1/1, 1/3 octaves; 3D waterfall plots; digital recording to disk; plot overlays; time trace; data export …
FrequencyMaster can also be used as an upgrade to provide tonal analysis for existing systems (such as noise nuisance recorders) as it can process sound files from virtually any source, individually or in batches. Alternatively, you can take FrequencyMaster into the field for live frequency analysis by installing it on a low cost netbook or tablet PC when you can take full advantage of the user interface and recording facilities.
