A TIRE NOISE INVESTIGATION AND TEST METHOD

This paper reports the results of an exterior tire noise investigation whose purpose was the determination of present passenger car tire noise levels and the development of a passenger car tire noise test. Several operational and measurement parameters including road surface texture and microphone distance and height were studied. Surface and speed effect is significant and has to be controlled precisely for repeatable results. Noise reductions beyond 2 dBA for passenger car tires will be very difficult to achieve with changes in the tread design. /GMRL/
