Sound Quality Engineering for Noise and Vibration

From Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme
 

 
In recent times, the design of sounds has become an important priority, because of an increased critical awareness among both consumers and manufacturers alike. New psychoacoustic models and advances in acoustic engineering have opened the door to completely new approaches to sound optimisation. Müller-BBM is a global leader in this development field. The choice of which car to buy is influenced even by the sound of a door when it closes. Does the central locking system make a smooth, sliding sound or a harsh rasp? Who would buy a car with indicators that tick loudly or windshield wipers that swish irritatingly? Today's consumers want the „right' kind of sounds, which match their expectations and evoke the right kind of associations. So also when a car overtakes another – then the sound has to be of pure, unleashed power in place of the smooth purr of the engine when the car is cruising.
