## What is NVH?

Does your vehicle have a vibration problem? NVH takes the guesswork out of diagnosing it!

Just follow the road test instructions in the tutorial, and the NVH app can automatically detect the type of vibration your vehicle is experiencing. 
- There are 14 types of vibrations:
- Tire speed-related (3 types)
- Driveshaft speed-related (3 types)
- Engine speed-related (7 types)
- Electric Motor Speed Related (1 type)
- Each type of vibration has unique causes. A vibration type is not the same thing as a vibration source. There are many possible causes (sources) for each vibration type. Just follow the app's diagnostic steps to identify the source of vibration.
- There are almost 300 possible causes of vibration concerns in today's vehicles. 
- Tire speed-related (77 Possible Causes)
- Driveshaft speed-related (123 Possible Causes)
- Engine speed-related (76 Possible Causes)
- Electric Motor Speed Related (Several Causes)

More than "Just an App," this is a tool for professional service technicians and anyone with a vibration concern on their vehicle.

KEY FEATURES:
- QUICK, ACCURATE, AND PRECISE: The NVH App can be set up and ready to begin diagnosis in as little as 30 seconds!

- VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS: Place or mount your device against a solid surface in your vehicle, and the internal sensors will measure and analyze your vehicle's vibration problem.

- LIVE RESULTS: Watch one of three different displays that show you live measurements of your vibration in various ways to ensure you have all the information you need.

- MULTI-PART ANALYSIS:
- AUTOMATIC: Not sure how to interpret your results? NVH will analyze your road test for you and tell you which type of vibration problem your vehicle has.
- TOTALS: Want to get into the numbers yourself? NVH shows you statistics for each type of vibration detected and breaks them down by vehicle speed to give you even more information.
- PDF REPORT: print, email, or save a PDF diagnostic report showing all the analysis details.

- RECORD: Record your road test and watch it again in real-time, or pause and go through it step by step.

- SHARE: Want another field service engineer, mechanic, or friend to see your test and give their opinion? Export your recordings to an NVH file to import them into their device and view your recordings and their analyses. You can also print or send a PDF report detailing the recording analysis.

- VEHICLE DATABASE: NVH has an extensive database of 45,184 vehicles to choose from, so that you can pick your vehicle and go! Can't find your vehicle in the database? Not a problem! You can manually enter your vehicle's information and save it for future use. To see a list of supported vehicles in the NVH vehicle database or what information you will need to know about your vehicle if it is not in the database, visit http://www.vibratesoftware.com/nvh/database.htm.

- DIAGNOSTIC HELP AND VIDEOS: Whether you are a seasoned field service engineer, experienced technician, or a self-made mechanic, NVH's comprehensive diagnostic help file has something for everyone. Read through detailed instructions and information accompanied by hundreds of photos and dozens of videos. With over 28 years of vibration diagnostic expertise built into the troubleshooting steps, you will be in good hands.

- Measure driveshaft angles
- Check the accuracy of your speedometer
- Measure raw vibration frequencies and amplitudes

OPTIONAL BLUETOOTH OBD-II DLC INTERFACES:

- Nexiq Blue-Link 2
These tools will read the engine RPM directly from the vehicle and use it for engine speed-related vibration diagnosis.

### 5/5 — Great NVH!!

*2025-11-20*

I’m a Porsche Foreman and I came across this App a few years ago and it’s been nothing but amazing!  Works flawlessly. Very accurate and helpful. Compared to PicoScope NVH tool it’s definitely a great tool. I would love to see a microphone feature that could capture sounds for better diagnosis.

### 4/5 — Time for an update

*2025-02-10*

This app has proved to be helpful but that have not updated vehicle specs since 2022

### 5/5 — Still tinkering. But it is looking good so far

*2023-10-06*

I have been working on acoustical diagnostic processes for a little while. My direction is on  seizing and harnessing different signal capturing and transmission of vibrations and more direct analysis as compared to a program tic analysis like this app features. In my approach I am acquiring signals from the engine, to include engine rpm from cylinder 1 spark plug during events then visually looking for correlating events from concurrent signals being recorded. It I a more raw and base way of doing what this iPhone app does for me so eloquently. I can see how this  app can be extremely useful in my diagnostic approaches. Very clever app.

### 5/5 — Thanks for this wonderful APP!!

*2023-08-01*

Love everything about it!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-04-17*

Found so many issues on trucks and cars while using this app❤️

### 5/5 — Must have app for any respectable mechanic!

*2022-10-10*

I work at a Ford dealership and compared this app to our 6000$ VCMM with vibration analyser and I get the same results… but without the hassle of setting up the VCMM, laptop and all the wiring.
Great job and 2 thumbs up to the creators!!

### 4/5 — It works

*2022-08-11*

Purchased this app after taking a NVH class. Love using this app for weird concerns or training newbies. 

Right now you can only print the PDF readout which is useless to me and the customer. I would rather print the graphed data.

Right now I’m zooming in and using screen shots

### 5/5 — Vibration

### 4/5 — Kindly add the 2021 LC300

*2021-09-27*

**Developer response:** Thank you for your 5-star review. We have added the Toyota LC300 in a new free app update coming in the next week. Happy new year!

### 5/5 — NVH ultimate tool

*2021-04-07*

This tool works great it has solved many vibration issues for me I am trying to figure out how to share it with my other phone I can’t seem to find the family sharing on this old version
