In the small town of Wauwatosa, WI, sits the state-of-the-art noise, vibration and harshness laboratory operated by Briggs & Stratton. Within the lab are two anechoic chambers outfitted with sound-absorbing acoustic wedges.
Briggs & Stratton engineers use these chambers to analyze and tailor the noise produced by the company’s small engines, which are used in lawn, garden and light construction equipment. Such equipment ranges from lawn mowers and standby generators, to power washers, snow blowers and air compressors.
