A filling level monitoring device for monitoring a filling level of a fluid in a container includes exciter(s), sensor(s), a signal source connected to the exciter(s), a processor, at least one spatial orientation and acceleration sensor, and a filling level indicator. The device uses the signal source and the exciter(s) to couple vibrational loads having multiple frequency components into the container. Sensors measure vibrations in the container after the exciters transmit the vibrational loads into the container. The processor performs spectral analysis of the input signal and of vibration signals from the sensors, comparing these respective spectral functions to extract resonance frequencies of the container, which are based on the spatial orientation of the container. The filling level indicator calculates a current filling level of the container from the extracted resonance frequencies and a spatial orientation signal from a spatial orientation sensor by correlating the collected data with reference data.
