<Acoustic Analysis in Engineering> There are various sounds around us, and sometimes we find those sounds unpleasant. When unexpected noise is generated by a machine during its design phase, that machine is unable to fully exhibit its original performance, with part of its performance being lost as energy that produces sound. Furthermore, the presence of that sound can tarnish the image of the machine's quality. Additionally, not only noise but also the ability to deliver pleasant sounds tailored to user preferences, as seen in audio equipment, contributes to the brand image of the product. Therefore, acoustic analysis is one of the very important analyses in product development. <Examples of Acoustic Analysis> Acoustic analysis is utilized in many industrial products, ranging from acoustic devices such as speakers and microphones to the noise generated by cars, trains, and airplanes, as well as phenomena where the noise emitted by rocket engines during launch can damage satellites within the payload.
