Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for measuring noise and velocity of a single object or surface in a soundscape of multiple noise-emitting objects or surfaces. The present invention features a system comprising a heterodyne signal system comprising a signal emitter, a signal receiver, and a signal processing component capable of directing an original signal to the object or surface, accepting a return signal Doppler shifted and mixed with the original signal, and removing the original signal, resulting in an output signal. The system may further comprise an acoustic spectrum analyzer capable of calculating a radiation-factor from the output signal, calculating a mean-squared velocity value by calculating a variance of a spectral shape of the output signal, calculating a noise-sound-power value from the mean-squared velocity value and the radiation-factor, and converting the noise-sound-power value into an acoustic decibel value.
