Software for noise source location on moving road vehicles in combination with a portable microphone array.
Road Vehicles Moving Source Beamforming - BZ-5943
This PULSE software performs noise source identification of noise radiated from moving road vehicles such as cars and trucks. Acoustic results are displayed in colour contour maps that clearly visualize the noise ‘hotspots’ and show how noise propagates from various locations. This noise map is superimposed on a representation of the vehicle, so the user can clearly see the noise levels from each of the vehicle’s components, such as a tyre or wing mirror, and gain insights into the sound’s directivity.
Mapping the whole or part of the vehicle enables differentiation between aerodynamic noise and rolling noise from the interaction of the wheels with the road. Smaller areas such as the windscreen can be targeted, and the contributed sound power can be calculated, thus enabling the user to easily rank the areas in order of importance. Identifying the most important sub-sources of noise such as the engine or front wheels in terms of position, frequency content and sound power radiation helps decide where design changes can most effectively reduce overall noise radiation – either reducing noise levels or optimizing their content and noise propagation.
Users can make any type of signal processing or hear any microphone signal in very high quality, thanks to the system’s high sampling rate of more than 65 kHz per channel. This also enables it to map high frequencies.
