Andrew Barnard, Ph.D., INCE Board Certified from The Pennsylvania State University, touches on the basic source-path-receiver paradigm for white goods sound generation.

Understanding the source-path-receiver model is becoming increasingly important when determining proper measurement techniques for white goods noise radiation. With easy access to white goods data, consumers are more educated than ever on making their purchasing decision. Government and industry standards and codes are now in place and evolving, further allowing consumers to make “apples to apples” comparisons of noise data from different brands and models. Getting the most accurate measurement is becoming increasingly important.

We invite you to download this white paper to learn how to characterize the source component of the source-path-receiver paradigm to be on the path to better measurements. By doing so, you will also receive an invitation to an upcoming six-part webinar series presented by Dr. Andrew Barnard. During the series, he will dive deeper into acoustic sound intensity and power measurements including how to select the right microphone for the job to how to set up your testing environment.
