ABSTRACT:
A device for detecting ultrasonic noise, particularly such noise as generated by fluid leaks, includes a directional ultrasonic microphone, amplifiers and ultrasonic filters, an envelope detector, an audio preamplifier and filter, a level control, a meter, an audio power amplifier and speaker, and a phase shift feedback network connected from the output of the power amplifier to an input thereof. A switch is operable in a first setting to connect the power amplifier to the level control to convey the audio frequency amplitude envelope of the detected ultrasonic noise through the speaker or in a second setting to connect the power amplifier to the feedback network. A level detector is operatively connected to the level control and provides a control signal which is conducted to the feedback network. When the control signal exceeds a selected level, the feedback loop circuit is completed, whereby the power amplifier oscillates audibly through the speaker and gives audible indication of an ultrasonic noise. The components are enclosed in a pistol shaped housing for substantially single handed aiming and operation.
