Acoustics

High-intensity acoustic noise testing — the capability NU Labs was founded on in 1962, and still one that few test labs can offer.

Applicable specifications

MIL-STD-810

High intensity

High-intensity acoustic noise

NU Labs began in 1962 generating high-intensity acoustic noise to simulate the lift-off and jet-engine conditions behind sonic fatigue — a top concern as aircraft were being built to fly higher and faster. The generation system we built then is still in service today.

Using the NUI 204B siren, we achieve sound pressure levels in excess of 170 dB over a broadband frequency spectrum. High-intensity acoustic noise susceptibility testing at these levels is a capability few test labs can offer.

Progressive wave tubes

Testing complete structures

With the added capability of progressive wave tubes, we can subject complete structures — such as missile systems — to high-intensity acoustic loading, not just components and panels.

Airborne & structureborne

Full-spectrum acoustic services

Beyond high-intensity work, NU Labs performs airborne and structureborne acoustic testing and noise emissions measurement to qualify your product across its full acoustic environment.
