Sound Power Testing System

The Sound Power Testing System is an integrated hardware and software solution designed for product noise evaluation, regulatory certification, and acoustic performance verification. It consists of a multi-channel acoustic data acquisition unit, microphones/sound intensity probes, synchronized acquisition modules, measurement point layout and parameter management software, sound power calculation and analysis software, and a report generation module. The system standardizes the sound power testing process into a repeatable and reusable engineering test workflow.

The system supports measurement point layout guidance, multi-channel synchronous data acquisition, K1/K2 corrections, sound pressure level and sound power level calculations, data consistency checks, and customizable report generation. It is suitable for noise rating, R&D benchmarking, and pre-certification validation of products such as industrial equipment, construction machinery, automotive and aerospace components, household appliances and consumer electronics, as well as power generation and energy storage systems.

Comprehensive Standards Coverage

Comprehensive Standards Coverage

OpenTest currently supports multiple sound power measurement standards based on the sound pressure method, including ISO 3744, ISO 3745, and ISO 3746. Support for sound intensity method algorithms is under development, with the goal of providing a single software platform capable of covering all customer sound power testing scenarios.

OpenTest automatically calculates K1 and K2 correction factors, applies background noise and environmental corrections, and ensures that sound power measurement results are both accurate and compliant with applicable standards.

In addition to generating sound power results, OpenTest fully preserves raw time-domain waveforms and frequency-domain data, while associating and recording key information such as measurement point details, calibration records, and environmental parameters. This enables in-depth result analysis, traceability, and efficient data management.

Fast and Efficient Test Environment Setup

Fast and Efficient Test Environment Setup

We provide standard hemispherical microphone frames (radius 1 m and 1.5 m) featuring a compact and practical mechanical design for quick assembly, disassembly, and positioning. This helps users significantly reduce test setup time and improve overall testing efficiency.

For cuboid measurement surfaces, OpenTest can automatically calculate the coordinates of each microphone based on parameters such as the reference box dimensions and measurement distance. Users can quickly complete microphone placement without performing complex manual calculations, streamlining the entire test preparation process.

Customizable Reporting and One-Click Export

OpenTest includes built-in report templates compliant with ISO standards, automatically compiling test information, measurement point configurations, acquisition parameters, calculation results, and key charts into professional reports. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for documentation.

The reporting module supports customizable report structures and content, allowing users to add corporate branding elements such as company logos, tester information, comments, and custom sections. Users can also selectively display specific data and analysis results according to project requirements.

With one-click report export, OpenTest automatically generates complete test reports without the need for additional data processing or manual editing, improving efficiency and ensuring consistency across projects.

High-Performance Synchronous Acquisition for Reliable and Consistent Test Data

High-Performance Synchronous Acquisition for Reliable and Consistent Test Data

SonoDAQ Pro supports multi-channel synchronous data acquisition, with a single unit capable of covering up to 24 measurement points. For larger test setups, multiple units can be expanded through daisy-chain configurations. Powered by PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronization technology, the system maintains an inter-channel phase error of ≤ 100 ns, ensuring highly accurate and consistent measurements across all channels.

For applications involving a large number of microphones, users do not need to calibrate each microphone individually using an acoustic calibrator. Instead, SonoDAQ Pro can automatically configure microphone sensitivities based on TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) information, significantly simplifying system setup and reducing preparation time.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, SonoDAQ Pro features 1000 V channel isolation and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable and reliable operation even in complex electrical environments.

ISO 3744 Sound Power Testing with OpenTest

Under regulations such as the EU Machinery Noise Directive, more and more products-from toys and power tools to IT equipment-are required to declare their sound power level on labels and in documentation, rather than simply claiming they are "quiet enough." For typical office devices like notebook computers, idle noise is often around 30 dB(A), while [...]
