THE ENVIRONMENTAL, COMMERCIAL AND REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS OF SAE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE J37A FOR TRUCK TIRE SOUND LEVELS
When traffic noise was identified in 1964 by communities as an important form of pollution, it became necessary to measure the amounts of noise present and to assign relative importances to various sources in vehicular traffic. Truck tires were identified as being significant contributors. Engineers from the tire and truck manufacturing industries acting under the auspices of the SAE set about to develop a test procedure that satisfied the immediate need--to initiate control over truck tire noise. This paper is a review of the outcome of that effort. How well the method works, and how well it serves to meet the objectives now on the horizon are the preliminary topics of this discussion. The paper contains a discussion of the accumulated experience in testing tire noise and the current indications for a meaningful test procedure. /GMRL/
