Optimize, Validate, and Communicate Acoustic Performance with Confidence
Whether you want to improve acoustic behavior or expand into noise-sensitive markets, Mecanum helps manufacturers of acoustic materials optimize, test, and validate their products. Our solutions deliver accurate, lab-grade acoustic data and powerful tools for simulation, material design, and customer communication.
Understanding Acoustic Performance
Acoustic materials are defined by how well they absorb, block, or dampen sound. By understanding these properties, manufacturers can design better products and target the right markets.
• Absorption: Reduces echo and reverberation by absorbing sound energy. Essential for comfort in enclosed spaces such as vehicles, buildings, or offices.
• Transmission Loss: Prevents sound from passing through panels or enclosures. Critical for noise isolation in vehicles, machinery, HVAC systems, and consumer products.
• Damping: Reduces vibrations and structure-borne noise. Key for panels, casings, and composite systems.
These solutions support accurate, efficient NVH design from early material testing to final aerospace system validation.
Our Capabilities
We offer a complete range of testing, modeling, and validation services to support material development and customer communication:
• Standardized Testing: ISO 10534-2, ISO 354, ASTM E90, ASTM C423.
• Facilities: Impedance tubes, reverberation room, and custom acoustic test rigs.
• Modeling & Simulation: Finite Element Method (FEM) and Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) with VA-One.
• Multilayer Acoustic Design: NOVA software for designing and optimizing complex material stacks.
• Material Properties Testing: Airflow resistivity, porosity, tortuosity.
• Auralization: Simulate how your product sounds in real-world use cases — and let your customers hear the difference.
