Acoustic noise environment testing demonstrates what effect large airborne pressure fluctuations will have on materials and functionality of devices. Detrimental effects of acoustic noise can include wire chaffing, component fatigue, cracking of printed circuit boards, intermittent operation of electrical contacts, optical misalignment, loosening of small particles, and excessive electrical noise. Two main types of acoustic noise can create problems: those that penetrate or are generated within a closed chamber where the test item is located, and those that sweep over the surface of the device, as would occur if the test item were mounted on an outside of a moving vehicle or aircraft.
All NTS acoustic emissions testing facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art computerized instrumentation. NTS's staff of acoustic test engineers has a well-rounded background in space systems, defense, and various commercial test programs. Their experience spans not only designing and performing various acoustic testing programs but also designing, building and modifying acoustic test equipment to suit any custom requirement.
