Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method and a corresponding apparatus for detecting the rotational speed of turbochargers, especially on internal combustion engines in motor vehicles, with the steps: recording the body sound (SE) of the turbocharger and analyzing the frequency spectrum ( 30, 31, 32, 33 ) of the recorded body sound (SE). According to the invention, in the analysis of the frequency spectrum several frequency signals (SD1, SD2, SD3) are determined, which represent possible rotational speeds of the turbocharger, an amplitude analysis of the recorded body sound (SE) is performed in order to determine an estimated value (SD-estimate) for the turbocharger speed, and the estimated value (SD-estimate) is correlated with the several frequency signals (SD1, SD2, SD3) in order to determine the frequency signal (SD2) as the actual turbocharger rotational speed (Dactual) which correlates with the greatest probability with the obtained estimate (SD-estimate).
