PRACTICAL METHODS TO ANALYSE AND REDUCE VEHICLE NOISE. CAN WE MEET LAWS AND REGULATIONS BY BETTER INTAKE AND EXHAUST SILENCING?

This paper interprets to-day's and to-morrow's heavy duty vehicle noise legislation and specifications in the light of their impact on future product design and cost. It identifies the different noise sources and gives practical methods to isolate and test them, so that the overall influence on total vehicle noise can be judged. Special attention is given to engine intake and exhaust noise as contributors to the overall noise levels. /TRRL/
