Most car drivers have had the experience of hearing a buzzing, squeaky, or rattling sound while driving but not being able to figure out where the noise is coming from. The problem could be simple, requiring a quick fix, or could be serious enough to bring a car to a mechanic. If it is possible to identify the origin of the noise, the problem becomes a lot easier to solve. A sound camera, which visualizes sound in color contours similar to the way a thermal camera displays temperature with visual images, can be an ideal tool to pinpoint the exact location where the noise is being generated.
