The invention relates to a method for producing tubes, wires, profiles and similar elongate material by means of a drawing device (1), in which, during the drawing process, vibration emissions at a material strand and/or at the drawing device (1) are detected and evaluated in order to identify faults such as grooving and chatter marks, the vibration emissions being subjected continuously to a spectral analysis in such a way that the presence or absence of emissions that are increasing and decreasing over time and/or of pulse-like emissions is identified, and the drawing speed is altered in response thereto.
