Who doesn't know this? The espresso machine is too loud, the alarm signal of the pressure cooker is actually too quiet, the electric toothbrush sounds as if you were just at the dentist, and the vacuum cleaner whispers away as if it couldn't get any crumbs off the carpet. Acoustic issues also play a decisive role in household appliances and everyday items. Here, in most cases, it is necessary to find the right tone, i.e. to improve the acoustic design, or to minimize disturbing noises.
Whether it's a washing machine, a hair dryer or an electric toothbrush - Novicos has gathered extensive experience in the field of household appliances over the past years. We support our customers by performing a wide variety of calculations in the fields of sound, vibration, flow and electromagnetics, carrying out extensive and accurate measurements and even developing virtual prototypes to predict product characteristics.

Modeling of an automatic washing machine
Virtual prototype for the prediction of sounds
The manufacturer Miele is known worldwide for particularly high-quality and quiet washing machines. Hardly any other household appliance has so many technical components that must be optimally coordinated for low-noise operation. Novicos developed a virtual prototype for washing machines for Miele in order to precisely predict sound emission.
Quiet automatic coffee machines
Improve acoustics of series products
How can the acoustics of a product be influenced retrospectively if essential components and parts in the design can no longer be changed? The answer was provided by Novicos for the area of
Quiet automatic coffee machines
Improve acoustics of series products
How can the acoustics of a product be influenced retrospectively if essential components and parts in the design can no longer be changed? Novicos provided the answer for the fully automatic coffee machine division at Miele. Our team disassembled and measured the machine, performed a transfer path analysis and calculated various possible solutions. Subsequently, Novicos built a physical prototype to prove the correctness of the calculations.
