Pass-by noise refers to the sound generated by a vehicle while it is in motion. We offer a range of measurement solutions for pass-by noise, both in indoor and outdoor environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor Pass-by Noise Measurement System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pass-by noise testing can be conducted indoors using a VSAC (Vehicle Semi-Anechoic Chamber).
Note: VSAC = Vehicle Semi-Anechoic Chamber<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Since 2019, indoor pass-by testing has been approved for both type approval (R51.03 Amendment 4) and conformity of production. Measuring exterior vehicle noise using a chassis dynamometer installed in a large indoor semi-anechoic chamber is significantly more convenient. The controlled environment protects against weather conditions, ensures high repeatability, and allows for measurements year-round, 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like outdoor pass-by noise testing, the vehicle is operated on a stationary dynamometer while microphone arrays are positioned on both sides to measure the emitted sound. The microphone signals are processed along with vehicle speed data, including Doppler correction, to produce results directly comparable to those from outdoor measurements. The standard also provides methods for correcting tire noise using outdoor measurement data obtained on an ISO test track.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pass-by SPC (Sound Path Contribution Analysis)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pass-by SPC (Sound Path Contribution) analyzes how various noise sources\u2014such as tires, engine\/motor, and exhaust\u2014contribute to the overall pass-by noise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Source Path Contribution (SPC) is a technique used to evaluate the contribution of suspected noise or vibration sources through various acoustic and vibration paths to a specified receiver position. By focusing on dominant sources, engineering efforts can be directed toward the areas with the greatest impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While SPC is commonly used in interior noise analysis\u2014where both sources and paths involve acoustics and vibrations\u2014BK Connect Pass-by SPC is specifically designed for acoustic analysis using data acquired from indoor pass-by test setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volume Velocity Source Measurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volume Velocity Source Measurement Software (part of BK Connect) is designed for the measurement of acoustic transfer functions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

A Volume Velocity Source (VVS) is typically used to measure Acoustic Transfer Functions (ATFs) relevant to sound source contribution analysis. HBK\u2019s VVS system employs a specialized dual-microphone probe to directly and accurately measure volume velocity in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Volume Velocity Source Measurement Software is designed to work seamlessly with the VVS system. It ensures precise results by guiding the measurement process based on a preloaded test plan, enabling fast and efficient high-accuracy ATF measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With the Type 2245 Sound Level Meter, remote operation can be performed from a location away from the specific receiving point.
    By utilizing Wi-Fi-based wireless control, there is no need to connect cables from the microphone inside the semi-anechoic chamber to the outside.
    This eliminates the influence of ambient noise caused by human activity within the chamber, ensuring a more accurate low-noise environment for measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
