  • Publication number: 20240118172
    Abstract: An aircraft sound diagnostic method includes a step of measurement of acoustic signals by a plurality of microphones mounted at different positions inside the aircraft, a step of recording of the measured acoustic signals, a computation step which generates a sound mapping on the basis of the measured acoustic signals, a step of comparison of the sound mapping and a reference mapping and a step of transmission of the comparison to a user device. The method makes it possible to track the trending of an abnormal noise or of an abnormal noise level and assist in determining the context thereof. An aircraft sound diagnostic device for implementing the method is also described.

  • Publication number: 20190162624
    Abstract: A method and a system for detecting leak noise in an aircraft, making it possible to perform ground tests in complete safety and over an entire cabin pressurization range, thus avoiding having to resort to a plurality of in-flight tests. The system includes: at least one acquisition device configured to be installed in at least one area of interest of the aircraft, the acquisition device being configured to acquire data in relation to current noise in the area of interest and data in relation to a current pressure gradient between the cabin of the aircraft and the outside, and a monitoring device configured to control the acquisition of the data by the at least one acquisition device and to receive the acquisition data in order to detect any leak noise in the at least one area of interest.
