According to the remarkable reduction of the vehicle noise, the important of tire noise which is generated from the vehicle and the necessities of the researches for the noise reduction are emphasized. In this study, we have studied the road noise which is excited by the interaction between tire and road. In order to evaluate the road noise, we carry out the subjective test(feeling test). In order to consider the effect of the vehicle suspension for the tire/road noise, we are equipped with identical tires on the differential vehicle suspension and evaluate the road noise. In order to consider the effect of the tire structure for the tire/road noise, we evaluate the some tires with various structures. From the test results, we fine that the difference of road noise is generated by the variation of the vehicle suspension. Also, we can select the optimized tire structure which can be reduced the road noise.

It is well known that tire/road factors have a large influence on overall tire performance. In this paper, the basic study on the effects of tire/road factors on the pass-by noise performance of tire labeling has been carried out through experimental tests. The tire pass-by noise is affected by road characteristic factors, especially greatly influenced by road friction coefficient, and the next dominant factor is road chipping size. For several authorized pass-by noise test tracks, the pass-by noise correlation test has been done to know the test site effect, which results in 2~3dB(A) variation of pass-by noise level. Finally, it is shown that the winter tire is differently influenced by the pass-by noise test track characteristics, as compared to all-season tire and summer tire.

It is important for identification of noise and vibration problem of tire to consider influence of interaction between road and tire. A quantification of road noise is a challenging issue in vehicle NVH due to extremely complicated transfer paths of road noise as well as the difficulty in an experimental identification of input force from tire-road interaction. A noise caused by tire is divided into road noise(structure-borne noise) and pattern noise(air-borne noise). Pattern noise is caused by pattern shape of tire, which has larger than 500 Hz, but road noise is generated by the interactions between a tire and a vehicle body. In this paper, we define the quantitative analysis for road noise caused by interactions between tire and road parameters. For the identification of road noise, the chassis dynamometer that is equipped $10mm{\times}10mm $ square cleat in the semi-anechoic chamber is used, and the tire spindle forces are measured by load cell. The vibro-acoustic transfer function between ear position and wheel center was measured by the vibro-acoustic reciprocity method. In this study three tires with different type of mechanical are used for the experiment work.

In order to investigate the availability of tire airborne noise for vehicle road noise development, We measured the noise in condition of smooth road and coarse road. The correlation coefficient was analyzed using the articulation index of the tire airborne noise and the vehicle road noise. It has been found that the correlation between the tire airborne noise and the vehicle road noise is positively strong.

As a remarkable reduction of the vehicle noise, the important of tire noise which is generated from the vehicle and the necessity of the research for the noise reduction is being emphasized. In this study, the road noise which is excited by the interaction between tire and road has been studied. The subjective test(feeling test) according to SAE J1060 rating scale is applied to the evaluation of the road noise. The combination of the several tires and vehicles are made to consider the effect of the vehicle suspension and the tire structure for road noise. The vehicles with 3-different suspension system are applied to road noise test and the eight kinds of tires are selected. As the results, the effects of the vehicle suspension and tire structure which affects on road noise are investigated.

The purpose of this study is to obtain a foundation data for chassis design and road noise reduction of automobiles. Using the combination of the automobile, radial tires and instrumentation equipment, experimental investigation were carried out to examine the characteristics of the structural vibration of tire as the key to obtaining the effective parameters for reducing road noise. From the results of experimental studies it has been confirmed that the existence of important frequency ranges, which were attributable to the suspension and chassis system. The tire, axle and chassis natural frequency of automobile govern the road noise. Results that material property of tire and experimental condition are parameter for shifting of tire natural frequency, which enables a designer of an automobile to foresee the influence of the various design factors on the road noise.

Vibrations transmitted through rolling tire are major sources of road noise in vehicle interior on the range of $0{\sim}500Hz$. Among various road noises, tire cavity noise makes many problems recently. Vehicle NVH performance has improved better and road surfaces are made well. But tires are changed to high inches and low series. So tire cavity noise becomes more serious. In this paper, a designed material for reducing tire cavity noise is proposed. On the surface inside tire, this material is attached at one position using double-tape. This material disperses the pressure variations inside the tire. So a spindle forces at wheel center are reduced. And tire cavity noise at vehicle interior is also reduced. Durability is verified by tire only test and vehicle test. Noise performance also compared with peak levels after attaching this material.

The development of low rolling resistance tire with weight reduction in tire and vehicle may induce high level of tire/road noise, especially the rumble road noise on rough road. In this paper, the design factor for good rumble noise is considered in view of tire and vehicle. For the 3 mid-sized sedans, the rumble noise is very sensitive to the test vehicle. And it is concluded that the tire with high tread part stiffness and low sidewall part stiffness shows best rumble noise performance, and the rumble noise is in trade-off relation with cavity resonance noise. So, it is desirable to select and change proper construction design factors to have good tire/vehicle rumble noise.

Tire is in charge of a lot of function, which is supporting vehicle load, transferring traction and. brake, absorbing impact by road etc. As the silence of vehicle increase more important, the importance of tire noise is more raised. In recent, the study on reduction of tire noise is generally processed. Tire noise is divided in structure home noise and all borne noise. Tire tread properties have a lot of multiplicity. Rubber properties are caused by changing or tread hardness. That change Elastic Modulus and Loss Modulus, which is related by tire noise. In the study, we found that road noise is affected by tread hardness

In this paper, This work demonstrates a experimental evaluation for vehicle road noise NVH performance from the component-level NVH measurements of Tire. The power unit noise from tire emitted by cars has been reduced. It has been found that tire noise dominates noise produced by the power train when vehicles are driven at high constant speed. Therefore tire pattern noise is affected by pattern and vehicle and transmission loss. Tire noise mechanism is generated by several mechanisms. The sound of tire can propagate either through the air or through the structure of vehicle. Pattern noise is the result of pressure variations through the air to the interior side of vehicle. Especially, smooth asphalt, the periodicity of tread design, groove depth is important factor, which have an influence on the reduction of tire pattern noise.
