Noise cost money. Excessive noise can cause annoyance or
loss of concentration, and productivity may fall. Deviation from
noise standards may also corrupt products or data obtained. So,
many approaches have been made towards noise-free environment. However,
the noise theory is more delicate than most people think, and as
a result, lack of noise theory may cause in expensive pursuits or
even incorrigible hazards.
A recent review of various national and international standards
states that many specialist areas require that the environment and
equipment meet certain noise standards. These must be examined and
engineered skilfully before these environments are declared safe
and prolific to everyone. The preference therefore is for a quieter
vicinity. In the product line, this is often reflected by the selling
advantage of the quiet product has over its noisy competitor.
This is where ISTIQ comes in. Even before the incorporation of ISTIQ,
we have been in the 'noisy environment' where the battles have involved
business, managerial and technical aspects of sound. Every project
is engineered with great care and technical backup. No doubt that
the task of diagnosing and correcting noise problems in the past,
has received little attention in a formal way. However, with integration
of modern measurement techniques such as Spatial Transformation
of Sound Fields and Sound Intensity, application of acoustic or
noise control have been made possible.
In any way, the progress development in Acoustic in general throughout
the world has been at slow pace. It is our keen interest to develop
and be wilful partner of R&D in noise and thus, support the local
as well as industry abroad.
