Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) – Targeted reduction of Vibrations and Noise

Unwanted vibrations and noise rarely occur where one would expect them to. We analyse the vibroacoustic paths of your system – from structure-borne sound to radiation behaviour and airborne sound – and identify the components that are genuinely critical with respect to resonance or tonality. This allows effective mitigation measures to be derived long before quality, efficiency or yield are compromised.

• Structure-borne sound and structural analysis
  We examine how vibrations propagate within the system, where they are amplified, and which components act as primary radiators.
• Identification of tonalities and resonance locations
  Tonalities often arise from structural couplings or operating frequencies – we make these mechanisms visible and assessable.
• Virtual evaluation of design variants
  We compare design variants and their NVH effects – faster and more cost-efficient than any prototype iteration.
• Derivation of effective mitigation measures
  Stiffness adjustments, dampers, decoupling measures or operating parameters: we define which modification actually delivers an effect.
• Airborne sound and radiation behaviour
  If required, we also simulate the airborne sound radiation, calculate sound pressure levels at reference points and assess the influence on the overall sound level.
• Consideration of real operating parameters
  Whether rotational speed, load, run-up or part-load operation: we analyse the behaviour where NVH issues actually occur – not only under ideal conditions.
