Towards Sound Quality Engineering of the Virtual Car

The use of sound quality engineering tools in automotive development is well accepted - but their application is mainly restricted to the refinement and troubleshooting of physical prototypes. Currently, designers have few tools to help them listen to their ‘virtual’ models. Imagine what could be achieved if an awareness of sound quality could be implemented upfront. The concept team could use a joystick to listen to the engine note as it goes through an arbitrary speed change.

Incorporating engineering attributes like external engine sound or ride comfort into the design cycle is nothing new for automotive engineers and especially NVH experts. What is new though is the role of the brand image in engineering the overall driving experience. Like any product today, automotive brands are no longer just status symbols; they have become value symbols and customers expect that a car lives up to its brand promises.
