In the study, it is considered sporty car as 1400cc entry cars using sound generator. These cars are required special sound quality, also sporty sound quality. The operational principle of this sound generator system is that on the operation of the engine intake valves caused pulsating is to shake the membrane of the sound generator on the inside of the driver front dash panel through the intake manifold, which will deliver the required sound quality and tone. For the component constructed sound generator, main design parameters are selected and optimized using the daguchi's method. The results are as follows; The C2 sound level must be minimized and C4 level must be maximized. And also overall level keeps linear characteristics.

전기자동차는 내연기관차와 달리 엔진 소리가 거의 없고 매우 조용하여 다양한 문제를 발생시킨다. 예를 들면, 보행자들이 차가 다가오는 것을 느낄 수 없어 안전에 큰 위협이 된다. 또한 운전자는 자신의 자동차가 어느 정도 속도로 달리고 있는지 청각적으로 인식할 수 없게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 전기자동차는 인위적으로 엔진소리를 만들어 재생하여야 한다. 이 논문은 기존 전기자동차의 샘플링 방식의 엔진 사운드 방식에 대해 알아보고 그 문제점을 알아본다. 향상방안으로 본 논문에서는 기존 샘플링 방식 대신 소프트웨어 신디사이저의 알고리즘을 구현하고 프로그래밍 언어를 통해 엔진 사운드를 소프트웨어적으로 구현한다. 신디사이저를 이용한 방식이 기존 샘플링 방식에 비해 우수한 성능을 가진 것으로 실험결과를 통해 입증되었다. 또한, 이러한 엔진 사운드 신디사이징을 통해 점차 보급률이 높아지고 있는 전기자동차의 안전성과 운전의 편의성, 즐거움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

Locations and emission characteristics of noise source of motor vehicles are great important factors to control the road traffic noise in effective ways. From results of this study on emission characteristics of engine and exhaust noise, we could find that every noise emission of different kind of vehicles has smilar pattern. The main emission locations of engine noise for the front of vehicle became the space between the road surface and bottom of the body and radiator grill, and for the side of vehicle became the space between the road surface and bottom nearby the front wheel. In case of exhaust noise of passenger-car and light truck, all the highest sound intensity level located near surface of road. But it is hard to conclude the height of noise source of driving vehicles with only results of this study. So further studies are needed to check the emission characteristics of noise.

Reduction of structure-borne noise of the compartment in a car is an important task in automotive engineering. Transfer path analysis using vibroacoustic reciprocity technique or multiple path decomposition method has generally been used for structure-borne noise path analysis. These methods are useful in solving particular problem but do net quantify the effectiveness of vibration isolation of each isolator of a vehicle. To quantify the effectiveness of vibration isolation, the vibrational power flow has been used for a simple isolation system or a laboratory based isolation system. It is often difficult to apply the vibrational power flow technique to the complex isolation system like a car. In this paper, a simple equation is derived for calculation of the vibrational power flow of an isolation system with multiple isolators such as a car. It is successfully applied to not only quantifying the relative contributions of eighteen isolators but also reducing structure-borne noise of a passenger car. According to the results, the main contributor of eighteen isolators is the rear roll mount of an engine. The reduced structure-borne noise level is about 5dBA.

The nature and the sources of sound in cars is discussed in the light of many previous works, and the importance of the system resonances inside cars is suggested. An investigation of a 'boom' problem in a small size passenger car is described. It was established that the 'boom' frequencies coincided with engine firing frequency and also with several system resonances. To find out main transmission path of the noise to the car interior, various possible sources were eliminated from the investigation by means of simple modification to the vehicle. Data on the structural modes of the body, and the acoustic modes of the passenger compartment at various forcing cases were obtained to provide better understanding of the problem. It was found that the acoustic resonance responsible for the boom was controlled largely the bending motion of the floor. To investigate the effect of the structural modification to the acoustic response, center floor of the car was reinforced. a great reduction of the noise inside the car especially at the offending speed range, was achieved by this modification.

Seat belt is an important means to protect drivers and passengers from the damages by car accidents. Many ways to increase the seat belt wearing rate have been proposed through human factors researches. The primary ways to increase seat belt use rate have emphasized the intention-behavior cycle. This study focused on the gap between intention and behavior. The gap may be bridged by the habit for seat belt use behavior. Divers following a desirable car starting sequence, from sitting on the chair, fastening seat belt, starting engine to moving a car, reported that higher belt wearing rate and unconscious behavior (automated response). That is, the habitualized procedure knowledge prevented drivers from forgetting to fasten their seat belt. The reminder systems such as warning light and warning sound could not significantly give an influence in remembering to fasten seat belt. In order to increase the seat belt use rate, the desirable car starting procedure should be included in the driving education program.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was carried out to investigate exhaust gas flow and acoustic characteristics in the exhaust system of a passenger car. Transient 3-dimensional flow field in the front and rear mufflers was simulated by CFD and far-field sound pressure was modeled by a simple monopole source method. Engine performance simulation was also performed to obtain the boundary condition of instantaneous fluid flow variation at the inlet of the exhaust system. Detailed exhaust gas flow characteristics such as velocity and pressure distribution inside the mufflers were presented and the pulsating pressure amplitude was compared at several positions in the exhaust system to deduce sound pressure level. The present method of the acoustic analysis coupled with CFD techniques would be very effective for the prediction of sound noise from vehicle exhaust systems although the effects of the inlet boundary condition and heat transfer on the accuracy of the prediction have to be validated through further studies.

The latest trend in the automotive industry demands the development of high stiffness car bodies and the securement of inter-system performance for low vibration and noise vehicles. This demand, however, conflicts with need for light weight design and greater fuel efficiency, thus raising the importance of optimization design to satisfy both developmental goals. We chose two European medium sedans, which has gasoline engine and diesel one, to elucidate the noise characteristics of diesel passenger cars, whose sales have been increasing in both Korea and Europe. In the present study a systematic experiment was conducted to analyze the noise characteristics in diesel cars. we made it possible for differentiating car management according to customer demand while allowing for improved commercial feasibility. it was possible to improve interior noise by 2 dB(A) on average sound pressure level. As a result, by 4% higher on articulation index(AI).
