Svantek Academy is an educational platform created by Svantek to provide expert training, technical knowledge, and best practices in the field of sound and vibration measurement. It serves as a resource for professionals working in environmental monitoring, occupational safety, building acoustics, and related disciplines.
World-class experts in the field of sound and vibration measurements discuss everything there is to know about noise measurement. The most important thing to know about measuring sound measurement is that it’s the transmission of energy through vibrating air particles, which is a form of vibration. As a result, sound measurements are concerned with changes in local air pressure caused by noise energy.
Vibration measurements are frequently the sole method to detect and prevent any damage to structures, machinery, or even human health. Understanding the various indicators used in measuring vibration is complicated, but it’s essential to comprehend how RMS and PEAK values are calculated based on distinct vibrational velocity and acceleration signals.
Noise and vibration emissions can significantly impact both natural ecosystems and human environments, affecting health, behavior, and structural integrity. These effects are often interrelated and cumulative, particularly in urban and industrial areas. Monitoring and mitigation are essential for maintaining environmental health, ensuring structural safety, and complying with regulatory standards.
SVANTEK Academy functions as a knowledge base — it combines a structured learning environment with a technical knowledge hub for professionals working in sound and vibration monitoring.
