Silence, we're testing: UTAC, 50 years of acoustic expertise

For more than 50 years, UTAC has been supporting mobility manufacturers in their efforts to reduce noise. As early as 1969, we implemented our first acoustic measurement systems, constantly evolving in response to increasingly stringent requirements regarding comfort, public health, safety, and regulations. 

Today, we operate a world-class international infrastructure: anechoic chambers, ISO-certified test tracks, and roller benches across our sites in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Morocco. 

🔎 Our acoustic testing capabilities allow us to: 

• Reproduce realistic driving conditions while eliminating background noise, thanks to our semi-anechoic chambers. 

• Perform precise measurements in compliance with the latest ISO 10844:2021 standards. 

• Test all types of vehicles and powered machines: two-wheelers, combustion, hybrid, electric, and hydrogen-powered cars, industrial vehicles, and land or airborne machinery. 

• Analyze rolling noise, which has become a major source with the rise of electric vehicles. 

• Work on sound signatures and low-speed sound design, key elements for pedestrian safety and brand acoustic identity. 

💡 Why is this strategic for industry professionals? 

• Anticipate regulatory requirements and accelerate compliance. 

• Benefit from ultra-modern measurement tools and guidance from industry experts. 

• Improve perceived quality and the sound image of your vehicles—a major differentiating factor. 

• Reduce risks and timelines during homologation or international launches. 

🚘 Whether you are an established OEM or an innovative startup, UTAC supports you at every stage: R&D, prototyping, acoustic validation, compliance, and product optimization.
