Combined acoustic testing of home appliances: a case study

To improve the comfort of domestic environment, acoustic performances home appliances need to be optimised. During product development stages, manufacturers typically carry out measurements validate design strategies and perform troubleshooting. Moreover, several experimental techniques can used depending on target analyses. In this paper, sound field radiated by an operating washing machine is investigated. A combined testing carried means a intensity probe microphone array. The details tests' execution data processing are presented. results discussed, providing synthesis two sets measurements.
