SUMMARY:A Practical Approach to Managing Gear Noise
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online \n\n\n\nDate: July 27 – 28\, 2027 \n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule: \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, July 27 – 12:00-4:00pm ET\n\n\n\nWednesday\, July 28 – 12:00-4:00pm ET\n\n\n\n\nAdvanced Level\n\n\n\nA Practical Approach for Managing Gear Noise combines theory with practical testing and simulation techniques used to manage gear noise.  Topics focus on insights into the mechanisms for both whine and rattle\, the two most common categories of gear “noise”.  The course presents clear explanations relating subjective evaluations of audible noise to objective actions\, including troubleshooting and countermeasures.  Concepts are supported with a number of sound and movie files.  Technical papers supporting certain concepts are cited for the students’ further study.   \n\n\n\nYou will earn 7 clock hours upon completion of the course and they will be listed on your certificate of completion.\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nExplanation of the underlying physics of gear noise generation mechanisms for whine and rattle\n\n\n\nExposure to vibration and sound instrumentation and testing techniques used to characterize whine and rattle\n\n\n\nIntroductions to advanced simulation tools for understanding the underlying physics of gear whine and rattle\, with insight into troubleshooting and countermeasures.\n\n\n\nDevelopment of a strategy for setting gearbox sound and vibration target levels\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nCourse outline (PDF)\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\nMember Rates\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $600(Deadline until 5/3/27) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $650(Deadline: 5/4/27 – 6/29/27) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $675(Deadline: 6/30/27 – 7/13/27) \n\n\n\nNON-MEMBER RATE\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $700(Deadline until 5/3/27) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $750(Deadline: 5/4/27 – 6/29/27) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $775(Deadline: 6/30/27 – 7/13/27) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\nThis course is intended for students\, technicians\, engineers\, and managers interested in or responsible for the management of gear noise in a variety of industries. \n\n\n\nInstructors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert White\n\n\n\nBob White PhD\, PE is a Drivetrain NVH engineer with 37 years of experience.  For 31 of those years he worked at John Deere’s Product Engineering Center in drivetrain development\, touching nearly every transmission and axle produced by Deere. He specialized in making dynamic measurements and is especially known for his work in mitigating gear noise. He continues to do drivetrain problem solving through his company\, White Noise\, LLC. Bob is a member of the MPMA Sound & Vibration committee.  Contact him at RobertWhite@WhiteNoiseUSA.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrian Wilson\n\n\n\nBrian K. Wilson\, has 34 years of experience in the design\, test and analysis of rotating machinery. His current position is Chief Engineer for McLaren Engineering\, a subsidiary of Linamar\, managing the Core Engineering department\, including NVH CAE/testing of gearbox systems.  Additional relevant experience includes Romax Technology\, Inc. where he served as Chief Technology Officer; Ford Motor Company where he held the position of NVH Technical Specialist; and Founder of Advanced Drivetrain Engineering and Technology (ADET)\, a consulting/software company with a focus on gear technology.  Wilson’s key area of expertise is in rotating machinery dynamics\, with an emphasis on gear noise\, helping major OEMs worldwide to solve an assortment of drivetrain dynamics problems over the years.  He currently serves on the AGMA Sound & Vibration Committee and on ASME’s Power and Transmission Gearing Committee.  Wilson holds a BSME from Michigan State University.
