ABSTRACT:
An arrangement and method for identifying mechanical damage in a mechanism having a multiplicity of different sections which generate different actual sounds due to damage in each section, uses a sound sample storage for storing a sound sample of each of the different actual sounds. A selector is connected to the sound sample storage for selecting one of the sound samples corresponding to a section which is suspected of being damaged. A sound generator generates the sound sample selected by the selector, to make the sound sample audible, for use in comparing the sound sample to the actual sound of the section which is suspected of being damaged, for identifying the section which is damaged if the actual sound is similar to the audible sound sample.
