A scanning sound-intensity system provides the capability of identifying noise sources and detecting acoustic leaks as part of a low-noise design process. The ATL's system was designed by a team of students from the Brigham Young University Physics Department.

For more information about the sound-intensity system at the ATL, see the following publication:
