AbstractTransverse rumble strips (TRS) are a common choice to reduce vehicle speed and increase driver alertness on roadways. However, there is a potential trade-off using them on rural roadway due to the noise problem created when vehicles go over the strips. The present study investigated the noise level, spectral analysis, and the possible noise generation mechanism when the TRS is hit by a vehicle. Tenraised- rumbler (RR) and three-layer-overlapped (TLO) TRS were selected in this study as they have received complaints from the public. Results showed that RR generated a relatively higher noise and impulse at a low speed, and increased sound level in each octave band. Based on these results, RR may irritate human ears even when the vehicle travels at a low speed. It was found that RR increased all noise generation mechanisms of tyre-pavement interaction whilst TLO increased structural resonance, sidewall and surface texture vibration.

Abstract This paper presents the results of an ongoing investigation of noise radiation from centrifugal blowers used in passenger vehicles. The semi-empirical formulation previously derived by the authors (1998) for predicting noise spectra of centrifugal blowers running in a free field is extended to centrifugal blowers installed in a HVAC scroll housing. Because of the presence of the scroll and cutoff, the flow fields are different from those in a free field. Accordingly, the noise generation mechanisms become much more difficult to analyze and model. The previous model assumed a monopole type sound radiation pattern, and predicted the broadband component of the noise spectra well. This model is extended to include the contributions of both monopole and directional dipole sound radiation. It is this complex radiation that is characteristic of a centrifugal blower situated inside a scroll housing with a cutoff. Comparisons of the calculated and measured noise spectra were demonstrated, and good agreements were obtained in all cases.

After a short introduction about vehicle wind buffeting noise generation mechanisms, sunroof buffeting characteristics of a production sedan under different wind speeds and operating modes are investigated through full-scale aeroacoustic wind tunnel tests. As sunroof fully open, the severest buffeting effect occurs at wind speed 50kph, with the peak SPL 122dB and the corresponding resonance frequency 18Hz for the test point at the front row. From ca. 60kph it seems that the buffeting effect disappeared. As sunroof tilt, the severest buffeting effect occurs at wind speed equal or less than 30kph, the resonance frequency equal or less than 15Hz. From ca. 40kph the buffeting effect almost disappeared. Whether sunroof fully open or tilt, the resonance frequency increases all along as wind speed goes up till the buffeting effect disappeared (less than 20Hz). Different test positions at the front row or back row show very similar buffeting characteristics.
