Auralization of structure-borne sound

Structure-borne sound, its modeling of generation, transmission, radiation and effect is the daily task of acoustic engineers. When prediction models are extended towards an approach of signal theory, the problem can be described in terms of signals, filters and signal processing. This way, the technique of auralization can produce audible results which can be used for demonstration of effects and for convincing clients or local authorities to invest in noise and vibration control. Auralization in case of airborne sound produced by of vibration sources is interesting for building acoustics, car industry, machine diagnosis, just to name three examples. In all three examples, audible sounds help to interpret the problem and to find good solutions for better performance of complex systems related so sound and vibration.
