Machine Runoff Testing
Validate Noise Performance Before Deployment
Before machines go live in the field, their sound output needs to meet internal, customer, and regulatory expectations.
Memtech Acoustics provides precision machine runoff testing to document performance, certify compliance, and prevent last-minute surprises during commissioning or handoff.

Why Machine Runoff Testing Matters
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, and end-users all rely on accurate noise data before accepting or shipping a machine. Sound levels aren’t just a line item—they affect employee exposure, code compliance, and whether your customer signs off.
Memtech Acoustics helps you:
Memtech Acoustics helps you:
- Verify acoustic performance prior to shipment or handover
- Meet buyer contract specs and acceptance criteria
- Avoid retrofits, rework, or installation delays
- Document performance for warranty and regulatory needs
We test both standalone machines and systems integrated into larger production lines or test cells.
What We Test and Document
Our machine runoff testing services are designed to fit your QA or commissioning process, whether on-site at your plant or in the field. We use calibrated, NIST-traceable equipment and ANSI-compliant protocols.
Sound Power and Sound Pressure Testing
Measurement of machine noise output under normal and full-load conditions.
Octave Band and FFT Analysis
Frequency-spectrum testing to diagnose tonal components or identify dominant noise sources.
A-Weighted and C-Weighted Metrics
Capture of both perceived and peak-level noise performance.
Measurement at Multiple Planes
Evaluate near-field and operator-position sound levels in accordance with ISO 11201 or ISO 3744 standards.
Test Reports and Certificates
Documented test procedures, measurement conditions, compliance evaluations, and pass/fail certifications.
Optional Add-ons
Pre-Runoff Baseline Testing
Identify and mitigate sound issues before formal testing begins.
Runoff Support Consulting
Recommendations to optimize acoustic performance via damping, barrier, or
design changes.
design changes.
Customer Witness Testing Support
We present and explain results directly to your client or team, as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you certify compliance to specific dBA levels?
Yes. We test against manufacturer specs, customer requirements, or specific standards (e.g., OSHA, ISO, or internal tolerances).
Do you help reduce machine noise if it fails testing?
Absolutely. We offer engineering recommendations, modeling, and even product solutions to bring machines into spec.
What if the machine is already installed?
No problem. We offer on-site runoff verification for operational systems too.
