Class size limit
Max 5 (to ensure interaction and hands‑on learning)

Price
$4000

Equip new and developing NVH engineers with the practical skills and confidence needed to turn noise and vibration data into clear, actionable engineering insights. This hands-on masterclass focuses on understanding, analyzing, and – most importantly – communicating NVH issues to team members, suppliers, and management.

Participants will learn how to move beyond “looking at plots” to telling the NVH story: what the data means, why it matters, and how it drives decisions.

Program:

• Fundamentals of NVH thinking: from signal to perception
• Understanding noise and vibration sources
• Time‑domain, frequency‑domain, and order‑based analysis concepts
• Selection and interpretation of key NVH metrics
• Psychoacoustics fundamentals and why perception matters
• Using HEAD acoustics tools to visualize and analyze NVH data
• Identifying dominant contributors in complex NVH datasets
• Correlating objective measurements with subjective impressions
• Structuring NVH investigations: problem definition to root cause
• Common pitfalls in NVH data interpretation
• Communicating NVH findings to non‑NVH stakeholders
• Building clear plots, sound examples, and summaries that resonate
• Best practices for reporting, reviews, and design recommendations
• Case studies: real‑world NVH problems and how they were explained
• Hands‑on exercises with guided interpretation and discussion

Target group:

• New NVH engineers or engineers transitioning into NVH roles
• Test or development engineers who generate NVH data but wish to improve their interpretation and analysis skills, and better communicate results

Prerequisite:

• Basic understanding of noise and vibration concepts
• Familiarity with measurement data (no advanced NVH experience required)
• Prior experience with HEAD acoustics tools is helpful but not required

Remarks:

Training material is provided as a pdf on a USB stick. Tuning results will also be provided digitally. Laptops and front ends are available for all participants.

Available at your location for 3 registrations or more.
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 5. In this way, we guarantee each participant individual support and maximum hands-on time with the equipment.
