Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises

Posted by samzenpus on from the sounds-like-trouble dept.

Zothecula writes "If you work with machinery, engines or appliances of any type, then you've likely experienced the frustration of hearing a troublesome noise coming from somewhere, but not being able to pinpoint where. If only you could just grab a camera, and take a picture that showed you the noise's location. Well, soon you should be able to do so, as that's just what the SeeSV-S205 sound camera does."

    I'm a proctologist. No need to see where the noise is coming from.

    Because that's really the only time when it's impossible to know where the hell the sound is coming from in my experience.

    He's talking about dogs eating cat shit, and you want to nag him about spelling? You have got to sort out your priorities.

    If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.

    You're supposed to put the blunt end to your ear.

    Old but cool mechanic's trick: use a screwdriver. Place the metal against a running engine, put the ( plastic or wood ) handle against your ear. Hear amazing things inside of the running engine.

    Does it have to be a sonic screwdriver?
