Story: Quiet coffee machines
How can the acoustics of a product be influenced retrospectively if essential components and parts in the design can no longer be changed? Novicos provided the answer for the fully automatic coffee machine division at Miele. Our team disassembled and analyzed the machine, performed a transfer path analysis and calculated various possible solutions. Subsequently, Novicos built a physical prototype to prove the correctness of the calculations.

Sound characteristic
Optimization of the perceived sound quality
Sound is not just sound. We analyze sound characteristics to better understand the acoustic properties of sound sources and effective environments. This knowledge enables tailored optimization measures for comfort as well as human perception of sound. Depending on the application, we take the following aspects into account:
Sound source characteristics (frequency, amplitude, spectral composition)
Sound propagation characteristics (sound velocity, sound pressure, directional effect)
Room acoustic characteristics (room acoustics, reverberation time, sound absorption and reflection)
Total sound pressure level
Prediction of sound pressure as a basis for decision-making
The total sound pressure level is a value for evaluating and comparing operating noise levels. The higher the management level or the more inhomogeneous the team, the more relevant it becomes. Also for the
Total sound pressure level
Prediction of sound pressure as a basis for decision-making
The total sound pressure level is a value for evaluating and comparing operating noise levels. The higher the management level or the more inhomogeneous the team, the more relevant it becomes. This value is also relevant for the certification of products for compliance with legal guidelines and standards. We design measurements in such a way that the collected data provide a maximally helpful basis for decisions on how to proceed. We are happy to provide professional support for your project and deliver solution approaches and concepts to achieve your goals. If desired, we will also orient ourselves to legal standards. For pure DIN/ISO certification of end products without optimization requirements, we will gladly refer you to a partner with a correspondingly standardized process.

Insulation materials
Should the containment of a noise source be more economical or more sensible than its elimination, we offer you comprehensive advice on the optimal use of insulation materials. Novicos advises you on the selection of materials, the design as well as the integration of insulation materials. We perform acoustic measurements, calculate solutions and make predictions on the effectiveness of the insulation. Specifically, we support you as follows:
-
Sound passage
Measurement of the transmission loss (TL) in the reverberation chamber with subsequent calculation of relevant values for sound transmission.
-
Absorption
Acoustic characterization by measuring the absorption in the impedance tube. Project example: Aerogels
-
Reflection
We determine the proportion of reflected sound on insulation materials by measuring it in an impedance tube or a calculation model.

Multiphysical concepts and simulations
We record the influencing factors across disciplines and create multiphysical concepts. Our team consists of experts in acoustics, vibration, strength, flow, kinetics and electromagnetics. This enables us to penetrate even the most unusual application cases. We work particularly frequently on NVH projects.
