Take a look inside a semi-anechoic noise chamber

At Saint-Gobain Bearings we have some incredible testing facilities. At our site in Bristol, UK we have a semi-anechoic chamber suitable for tackling your noise (NVH) challenges. The 8.5-meter x 8.5-meter-wide chamber removes all of the reverberation and echo that you would experience in a standard room, this means it can facilitate tests in an environment that is incredibly hard to replicate.

Testing inside the semi-anechoic chamber

The testing facilities available in the noise chamber include:

• Larger shaker that can be configured horizontally or vertically with a 20KHz top limit
• Emotor test rig
• Calculating sound power around a hemisphere of 1 meter
• Noise and vibration order mapping
• 10 Newton shaker to measure stiffness and damping

Carrying out these tests in our semi-anechoic chamber allows you to isolate the source of the noise, giving your sound engineers the details to overcome the issue.

To see this for yourself, let Charlie Gage introduce you to our noise chamber, some of the testing kit available and its capabilities.
