Rocket engine noise can burst eardrums, break windows and rattle walls. It’s a major reason why launch facilities are miles from populated areas. But such thunderous roars also can damage the very ...

Meet the FOTRIC H7 Acoustic Camera—engineered with an unprecedented 345 microphones, the highest mic count of any acoustic camera worldwide. Designed to break through the limits of acoustic imaging, ...

Southwest Research Institute’s aerospace acoustic test chamber can now simulate the harsh acoustic conductions associated with a rocket launch. SwRI’s new acoustic testing chamber ensures that ...

The mini-me version of the Space Launch System (SLS) is now being put through its paces as part of the Scale Model Acoustic Test (SMAT) program. The heavily instrumented five percent scale model of ...

Microphone array solutions can be an effective technology to suppress stationary and non-stationary noise, depending upon the methods used. Using appropriate algorithms, individual microphone signals ...

A close-up of burstable bubble wrap, the material used to generate impulse sound waves for non-destructive testing. Non-destructive testing allows engineers to evaluate the integrity of structures ...
