Assessing vehicle noise is a faster and easier process with the launch of Brüel & Kjær’s latest data analysis software platform: PULSE 16.1. This update for Brüel & Kjær’s PULSE analyser system has many new features, including improved Source Path Contribution (SPC) technology with time-domain insight and Exterior Sound Simulator software.By using SPC technology, testers can verify the contributions of individual noise sources to exterior receivers, highlighting the dominating source for a given receiver. This analysis can help all vehicle manufacturers identify the main pass-by noise sources, listen to the individual contributions, reduce contributions from particular sources and see how it affects the total result. There is also an Indoor Pass-by with Contribution Analysis, which combines conventional testing of pass-by noise – for indoor pass-by facilities – with the possibility for users to quantify the contribution of individual sources at the 7.5 m ISO microphone position, utilising the Source Path Contribution technology.Learn more from Brüel & Kjær.
