This list of car audio manufacturers and brands comprises brand labels and manufacturers of both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and after-market products generally related to in-car entertainment that already have articles within Wikipedia. While components sold by these companies have much in common with other audio applications or may ...
Specific methods for improving NVH include the use of tuned mass dampers, subframes, balancing, modifying the stiffness or mass of structures, retuning exhausts and intakes, modifying the characteristics of elastomeric isolators, adding sound deadening or absorbing materials, and using active noise control. In some circumstances, substantial ...
From its earliest days, Harman Becker Automotive Systems was a supplier to Mercedes-Benz, [7] but also supplies other marques such as Audi, Peugeot, Hyundai and also Luxury Marques Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, BMW and MINI. Worldwide, Harman Becker has 28 bases in Germany, USA, Great Britain, France, Sweden, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, South Africa (to ...
Sound reflections: by limiting the reflection using many methods, e.g. by using acoustic absorption (deadening) materials, trapping the sound, opening a "window" to let sound out, etc. By analyzing the entire sequence of events, from the source to the observer, an acoustic engineer can provide many ways to quieten the machine.
All mechanical systems in the real world contain some amount of damping. Damping dissipates energy in the system, which reduces the vibration level which is transmitted at the natural frequency. The fluid in automotive shock absorbers is a kind of damper, as is the inherent damping in elastomeric (rubber) engine mounts.
Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an iron-based alloy containing a minimum level of chromium that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the 10.5%, or more, chromium content which forms a passive film that can protect the material ...
Silencer (silver) and exhaust pipe on a Ducati motorcycle A silencer cut open to show the insulation, chambers and piping inside the shell. A muffler (North American and Australian English) [1] or silencer (British English) is a device for reducing the noise emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine—especially a noise-deadening device forming part of the exhaust system of an ...
Active noise cancelling (ANC) is a software process that uses existing in-vehicle infotainment hardware to eliminate undesirable noise within the interior of a vehicle. This elimination technique is known as harmonic order reduction, where unwanted audio signals are identified by sensors and filtered out of the overall interior vehicle sound. [3]
