- Anechoic Box for Abnormal Noise Inspection (Sound Level Meter + Anechoic Box)
Simplified Performance Testing Using Anechoic Box + Sound Level Meter

This anechoic box integrates a sound level meter, signal tower, control panel, and door limit switch into a single unit.
The inspection object is placed inside the box, and acoustic measurement is initiated via a push-button operation.
If the measured noise level exceeds the pre-defined threshold (e.g., due to abnormal noise), the system triggers the signal tower to light up, alerting the user.
All components are pre-installed at the factory, allowing users to operate the unit immediately after installation—no on-site integration is required.
While this model assumes manual loading of the test object, it can also be adapted for inline use with automated doors for loading and unloading products.
The image below shows a fully enclosed acoustic test chamber designed for 100% abnormal noise inspection in a production setting.



At Sonora Technology, we can develop and propose customized acoustic measurement systems, including both measurement instruments and enclosure design, from the ground up to meet your specific needs.
