In a collective research project with the Applied Cognitive Psychology Unit of the Institute of Psychology, our Research Group is investigating the psychoacoustic effect of gear noise. These conventional analysis routines are matched with psychoacoustic metrics and auditory experiments. Structure-borne sound signals are also being considered in the process. While the primary objective is to be able to predict customer acceptance, the secondary goal is to be able to detect gear damage by means of state of the art procedures.
