Product Noise & Sound Quality

Acentech’s Product Sound group collaborates with manufacturers to improve the sound of products and devices to elevate brand perception, reduce consumer complaints, and compete more effectively — especially in premium and global markets.

From subtle cues that signal performance to the overall impression of craftsmanship, sound plays a pivotal role in how users experience a product. Whether enhancing the satisfying “click” of a control or eliminating an irritating hum, we bring clarity and confidence to product sound design. Our team applies engineering expertise, measurement science, and psychoacoustic insight to deliver targeted, quantifiable improvements that align with your product development goals and timelines.
