Noise Quality Control Testing in the presence of background noise provides a cost effective way to pass/fail noisy products

Advantages

  • No need for an enclosure
  • Fast test cycle times
  • SPL spectra of direct sound from a target
  • Suitable for low signal to noise ratios (up to S/N = -20dB)
  • Few microphones
  • Ability to detect defect signatures

Requirements

  • 'Training' with respect to a 'good product'
  • 'Training' with respect to ambient noise levels
  • 'Training' with respect to defect signatures (if required)

Our system works analogous to a trainable voice recognition system where training is not required but desirable. Training only improves the accuracy of the system. Training is required if certain defects are to be identified.

The screenshot below shows a comparison of sound pressure level spectra for sound measured from an object in the presense of background noise (Measured), sound measured in an anechoic chamber (Baseline) and the signal after denoising by SenQC (Denoised).

SenQC also allows setting pass/fail Metrics for quality control based on SPL limits. De-Noised signals can be checked against multiple metrics. The screenshot below shows the metrics module with four different metrics and pass/fail results.
According to Wayne W. Schultz, President of ATW - ATT, “We are very excited to be working with SenSound in the introduction of SenQC. Squeaks, rattles and other unwanted sounds are indicators of product defects in a variety of settings. Noise consistency or sound signature is also an important attribute of many products. SenQC will offer a novel and cost effective way to screen products for defects before they leave the factory, resulting in reduction of expensive warranty, support and repair costs.“
