Abstract: | Identifying the components of a vehicle’s interior noise is important in many phases of the noise, vibration, and harshness
(NVH) development process. Many test methods that have been widely used in the automobile industry to separate noise sources
are based on system identification methods in the frequency domain. However, none of the frequency response function-based
methods can directly estimate the wind noise component. In this article, an analytical model for the interior noise level
based on a simple power law was developed. It was assumed that the mean squared acoustic pressure for the interior noise could
be obtained by summing up those of the wind noise, road noise, and background noise. The wind noise and road noise were further
assumed to depend only on wind speed and the vehicle’s driving speed, respectively, and to follow a simple power law. The
resulting analytical model includes five parameters that can be optimized for the vehicle and the road. The validity of the
model was verified by using data obtained from cruise tests performed on a proving ground for cruise speeds ranging from 40
km/h to 130 km/h. The model is applied to the overall and 1/3-octave bands of interior noise and is shown to describe the
data trends fairly well. For the test vehicle used in the present work, the overall mean squared pressures for the wind and
road noise components are shown to be proportional to the wind speed to the 5.8 power and to the driving speed to the 3.4
power, respectively. |
