Hi Kshirsagar,
In order to recommend hardware for your application we would need to know more specifics about how you are planning on making the measurements. At this point you have to narrow down what types of sensors will allow you to acquire the data you need. You might be interested in a Dynamic Signal Acquisition card that is designed to measure sound and vibration or possible a Data Acquisition card that can acquire voltage signals from different types of sensors. There may be a solution for your application using a different instrument depending on your sensors. You would need to look at different form factors such as USB, PCI, or PXI as well as your desired number of channels and aquisition rate. You would be able to develop a custom program using LabVIEW or another programming language that could interface with the data acquisition and perform the data analysis.
The environment that you conduct your testing in will play a role in determining the best sensor type for your application. You would have to consider whether or not a microphone or accelerometer would be able to return the sound information that you could use to determine the frequency. You may need to use a combination of sensors.
