Evaluation Method of Vehicle Sound Quality

Abstract:

The study of sound quality which is a newly developed research area has become a hot topic and become to attract increasing attention from academia and industries. The description of sound quality, the technique of subjective and objective evaluation, and the way of improving sound quality inside vehicle are outlined. Based on an extensive discussion over the sound quality issues, the progress in sound quality methodologies and evaluation method are reviewed, and the prospects of the future development are introduced and discussed.
