Precise acoustic measurements in Fraunhofer IBP’s anechoic chamber

Our anechoic chamber is a state-of-the-art testing facility specially designed for carrying out precise acoustic measurements. Thanks to the acoustically optimized environment, which corresponds to the conditions of a free field, we can analyze sound sources with the highest accuracy. The walls and ceilings of the chamber are lined with special sound-absorbing materials such as wedge absorbers, which almost completely eliminate reflections. This enables sound power and directional characteristics to be precisely determined in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 3745 standard.

The anechoic chamber not only offers the possibility of evaluating the acoustics of machines and devices, but also of accurately localizing annoying noises. Sources with supply and exhaust air systems can also be examined via the openings in the side walls. This flexibility makes the chamber ideal for companies who want to optimize the acoustic efficiency of their products.

By working with Fraunhofer IBP, our customers benefit from advanced measurement technology and in-depth acoustics expertise. Our innovative solutions help you to improve the acoustic quality of your products, resulting in a stronger market position. In addition, the reflection-free environment offers optimum conditions for developing new acoustic technologies and applications. Take advantage of our expertise to enhance the acoustic performance of your products. Our precise measurements in the anechoic chamber enable you to design your devices more efficiently and increase your competitiveness in the long term.
