Abstract
A system and method are provided for equipment sound monitoring. The system includes an electromechanical device having at least one cavity defined therein. A dampening tube is such that at least a portion of the dampening tube is received within the at least one cavity without contacting a surface of the electromechanical device. A transducer box includes an opening defined therein, the opening configured to receive at least a portion of the dampening tube. The transducer box further includes a sound detection module configured to detect at least one of audio and vibration associated with the electromechanical device. A method of connecting and using the equipment sound monitoring system are provided.
