Webinar Overview
Diagnosing automotive noises is a frustrating, time-consuming game of trial and error. Engine rumble, and ambient shop noise, make isolating specific issues quite difficult.
In this session, learn how FOTRIC acoustic imaging technology allows technicians to "see sound" in real time. We will explore practical diagnostic applications across internal combustion engines, heavy trucks, CNG vehicles, and electric vehicles (EVs).
From pinpointing faulty belts, pumps, subtle vacuum, manifold connections, HVAC and radiator leaks to troubleshooting heavy truck air cabin suspensions, and suspensions noises when paired with road simulators, battery pack hermeticity, busbar partial discharge detection, and cabin air tightness testing; acoustic imaging isolates failure points in seconds.
Join us to discover how visual sound detection eliminates diagnostic guesswork, reduces labor time, and elevates repair accuracy across your service department.
Key Takeaways:
-
Pinpoint Audible & Inaudible Faults Instantly: Learn how acoustic cameras filter out ambient engine noise to visually isolate mechanical noises, vacuum leaks, compressed air/gas leaks, and ultrasonic signals in real time.
-
Master Diagnostics skills by understanding the principles of sound and visual sound detection.
-
Discover methods for diagnosing vehicle door/window seal leaks and suspension noise when combining acoustic imaging with additional simulators.
-
Maximize Shop Efficiency & Customer Trust: See how replacing traditional "hunting by ear" with acoustic visualization drastically cuts diagnostic hours, improves first-time fix rates, and provides visual proof for customer approvals.
Discover how acoustic imaging replaces "hunting by ear"—visually isolate belt noise, vacuum/HVAC leaks, and EV battery & busbar faults in seconds, across ICE and EV.
