A system analyzes a state of an inductive operator. The system includes a measuring device that is configured to: detect an acoustic reference signal and a plurality of operating variables, which can change over time, of the inductive operator or a reference inductive operator during a reference time period; and detect an acoustic signal and the operating variables during a productive time period. The system also includes an evaluating device that is configured to: generate a reference data set from the reference signal and a productive data set from the acoustic signal; perform a regression analysis of the reference data set and thereby create a model for description of the acoustic reference signal by the operating variables; and generate a state evaluation of the inductive operator from a difference between the productive data set and values modelled in accordance with the model.
