Sound Intensity

Sound Intensity is the preferred method to accurately measure sound power when you have a difficult acoustic test environment such as a high background noise or if equipment is in a poor acoustic test room.

The method is therefore also perfect for in situ measurement, on the hole or just a part of the equipment. Even when the equipment consists of many noise radiating sources, this method can be used on each singular component as a steady background noise makes no contribution to the sound power determined when measuring intensity. As sound intensity gives a measure of direction as well as magnitude it is also very useful when locating sources of sound, as for examples finding sound leakages or as a tool in your R&D department.
