  2. Noise, vibration, and harshness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Noise,_vibration,_and_harshness

    Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical ...

  3. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

    Control at the source is the most cost-effective way of providing noise control. Noise control engineering applied to cars and trucks is known as noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Other techniques to reduce product noise include vibration isolation, application of acoustic absorbent and

  4. Automotive engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_engineering

    NVH engineering (noise, vibration, and harshness): NVH involves customer feedback (both tactile [felt] and audible [heard]) concerning a vehicle. While sound can be interpreted as a rattle, squeal, or hot, a tactile response can be seat vibration or a buzz in the steering wheel. This feedback is generated by components either rubbing, vibrating ...

  5. Noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_measurement

    Noise measurement can also be part of a test procedure using white noise, or some other specialized form of test signal.In audio systems and broadcasting, specific methods are used to obtain subjectively valid results in order that different devices and signal paths may be compared regardless of the inconsistent spectral distribution and temporal properties of the noise that they generate.

  6. Ward's 10 Best Engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward's_10_Best_Engines

    During a 2-month testing period, Wards editors evaluate each engine according to a number of objective and subjective criteria in everyday driving situations – there is no instrumented testing. The selection takes into account power and torque output; noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels; technical relevance; and basic comparative ...

  7. Noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_control

    Highway noise is today less affected by motor type, since the effects in higher speed are aerodynamic and tire noise related. Other contributions to the reduction of noise at the source are: improved tire tread designs for trucks in the 1970s, better shielding of diesel stacks in the 1980s, and local vehicle regulation of unmuffled vehicles.

  8. Multibody simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibody_simulation

    Types of components that can be studied through multibody simulation range from electronic control systems to noise, vibration and harshness. [7] Complex models such as engines are composed of individually designed components, e.g. pistons and crankshafts. [8] The MBS process often can be divided in 5 main activities.
