The shift to electric mobility introduces new challenges for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) engineers. Without the masking effects of combustion engines, even subtle noises become noticeable, making accurate prediction of sound quality in early development phases critical. To ensure customer acceptance, NVH engineers need to anticipate how vehicles will sound before physical prototypes are available. This presentation will highlight how sound synthesis and virtual evaluation methods can be used to predict and refine NVH performance in electric vehicles. By creating and combining sound libraries from different vehicle segments, engineers can build a complete “global vehicle sound” and evaluate acoustic acceptability well before market launch.

In this session, you will learn more about:

• Anticipating NVH performance in electric vehicles without physical prototypes
• Using sound synthesis to evaluate interior sound perception
• Building and combining sound libraries across vehicle classes
• Ensuring customer acceptance of the “global vehicle sound” prior to market entry
