Covering a range of industries, LMS application cases let you discover how LMS solutions help our customers solve their real-life engineering challenges.
Harley-Davidson: The Sound of a Legend
You know it’s a Harley as soon as you hear it, before you even see it. The throaty pounding and off-centered drumming beat are part of the signature sound that uniquely defines the persona of the machine and clearly differentiates the manufacturer from its competitors. Buyers don’t just want transportation to get from one place to another. They want a riding experience, a big part of which is the classic sound of the bike.
Improving the Sound Quality of the Closing Sound of a Car Door
Although the closing sound of a car door is objectively not related to the intrinsic qualities of the vehicle, it is an important subjective parameter for vehicle evaluation. This closing sound can emphasize the impression of a solid, rockproof car body or can draw the attention to a rather cheap, flimsy vehicle. Several other adjectives can be used to describe the closing sound, which is certainly, often unconsciously, an element that improves or lowers the global image of the vehicle.
Arctic Cat is one of the early pioneers in the power sports industry and has firmly established itself as a leading manufacturer of these vehicles. Plans are to double its international business over the next three years, and for the first time ATV sales now account for more than half of the company’s total sales. Unlike competitors seeing flat sales or downturns, Arctic Cat has continued to gain market share in the ATV segment every year since it started selling these popular vehicles.
Sound Quality Engineering (white paper)
Sound Engineering becomes increasingly important in a wide range of applications. Its interest ranges from the acoustical feedback generated by an electrical shaver, to the reduction of tonal components in turbojet aircraft. Sound can be an unwanted as well as a desirable product attribute. It can be a factor of discomfort (high interior car noise during driving) as well as a carrier of information(alarm signals) or an element of speech privacy. The sound generated by a product can also be an important factor in the customer perception of the product.
对于声学基准和声品质评估，LMS Test.Lab平台支持声学工程师的主观和客观评价。心理声学指标包括响度、尖锐度、粗糙度和波动度。这些指标和其他表示声学舒适程度的指数相互补充，比如语言清晰度和语言干扰度。此外，算法帮助计算突兀音调和调制音。结果可以根据用户的要求和指标类型实时或离线处理。
