The cold tire pressure shall be as recommended by the vehiclemanufacturer.5.3 Exhaust system, suspension, and steering including front end alignment and wheel(s) balance shall bechecked and corrected as required to conform to the manufacturers specifications.1
18、. It should be noted that road surface texture differences may produce variability in test results.SAE J1477 Reaffirmed MAY2000-3-5.4 All the windows and ventilating systems shall be tightly closed. Accessories such as windshield wipers andselectable ventilating fans shall not be operated for the st
19、andard test. Special tests, such as with an air-conditioning unit operating at higher blower speed, may be specified. Any system which operatesautomatically and affects the sound level reading must be identified in the test report, preferably with data forthe different operating modes.5.5 Operate th
20、e test vehicle for 8 km (5 mile) at 90 km/h (55 mph) to warm up the engine and tires immediatelybefore the test.6. Microphone PositionsThe noise inside a vehicle may vary considerably with location. Therefore,measuring points should be selected in sufficient number and in such a manner that the dist
21、ribution of thenoise in the vehicle is adequately represented with respect to driver and passenger locations.One measuring point shall be at the drivers position.The microphone shall be no closer than 0.15 m (6 in) from walls or upholstery.The microphone shall be oriented so that the direction of th
22、e manufacturers recommended free fieldorientation is the same as the direction in which a person occupying the seat would be looking, or if suchdirection is not defined, in the driving direction. If a different orientation is used, it shall be reported.The microphone used during the tests shall be m
23、ounted in such a way that it is not affected by vibrations of thevehicle. The mounting shall prevent excessive (more than about 20 mm) amplitudes relative to the vehicle.6.1 Microphone position with respect to a seat (see Figure 1).FIGURE 1MICROPHONE POSITION WITH RESPECT TO A SEAT.The vertical coor
24、dinate of the microphone shall be 0.7 m 0.05 m (28 in 2 in) above the intersection of theunoccupied seat surface and the surface of the back of the seat (see Figure 1). The horizontal coordinate shallbe the middle plane (or plane of symmetry) of the unoccupied seat. At the drivers seat, with the dri
25、ver present,the horizontal coordinate shall be 0.2 m 0.02 m (8 in 1 in) to the right from the middle plane of the seat.Adjustable seats shall be set in the mid position of the horizontal and vertical range of adjustment. If the backrest of the seat is adjustable, it shall be set as near to the verti
26、cal position as possible.Adjustable head rests shall be set at the mid position.SAE J1477 Reaffirmed MAY2000-4-7. Measurements7.1 The sound level meters shall be set for the fast dynamic response and for the A-weighting network.7.2 Observe the sound level meter or indicating instrument while the veh
27、icle is proceeding at each constant speedfor at least 30 s. Where a sound level meter only is used, the applicable reading shall be the average soundlevel observed during the run.7.3 If a tape recorder is used as part of the measuring equipment, it may be necessary to include suitable pre-emphasis a
28、nd de-emphasis networks for recording and reproduction to provide an adequate signal-to-noiseratio over the whole frequency range of interest. For analysis of the data, refer to 8.2.7.4 For all measurements of A-weighted sound pressure levels, the lower limit of the dynamic range set by thebackgroun
29、d noise2and by the inherent noise level of the measuring equipment shall be at least 10 dB belowthe A-weighted sound pressure levels of the vehicle noise.7.5 The ambient air temperature, in which the vehicle is operating, shall be in the range 5 C to +35 C (23 F to95 F). The wind speed along the tes
30、t track measured at a height of approximately 1.2 m (47 in) shall notexceed 18 km/h (11 mph). The other meteorological conditions shall be such that they do not influence themeasurements. The ambient temperature, speed of the wind, and the direction of the wind relative to the testtrack shall be sta
31、ted.7.6 Repeat 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 for special road surface or system operation as desired by engineeringdevelopment requirements.8. Analyses8.1 Interior sound levels, expressed in dBA at specified vehicle speeds for a given road surface, are widelyaccepted for evaluating vehicle interior no
32、ise.8.2 When a tape recorder is used during measurements and a one-third octave frequency analyzer is used toobtain the frequency spectrum, the following parameters may be obtained:8.2.1 Overall average “A” weighted sound level;8.2.2 Overall average unweighted sound level;8.2.3 Total Stevens Mark VI
33、I sones;8.2.4 Perceived “phons”;8.2.5 Preferred octave band speech interference level;8.2.6 Total percent speech intelligibility;8.2.7 Composite rating of preference.2. Defined as the interior sound level at the desired microphone location in the stationary vehicle with engine off.SAE J1477 Reaffirm
34、ed MAY2000-5-9. General Comments9.1 Technically competent personnel should select equipment, and tests should be conducted only by qualifiedpersons familiar with the current technique of sound measurements.9.2 While making sound level measurements, only the driver and instrumentation operator shall
35、be in the vehicle.9.3 Proper use of all test instrumentation is essential to obtain valid measurements. Operating manuals or otherliterature furnished by the instrument manufacturer should be referred to for both recommended operation ofthe instrument and precautions to be observed. Specific items t
36、o be considered are:9.3.1 Proper signal levels, terminating impedances, and cable lengths on multi-instrument measurement systems.9.3.2 Proper acoustical calibration procedure, to include the influence of extension cables, etc. Field calibrationshall be made immediately before and after each test se
37、quence. Internal calibration means is acceptable forfield use, provided the external calibration is accomplished immediately before and after field use.9.4 Vehicles used for tests shall not be operated in a manner such that the break-in procedure specified by themanufacturer is violated.9.5 It shoul
38、d be recognized that variations in measured sound levels may occur due to variations in test site,ambient weather differences (temperature, wind, and their gradients), test equipment differences, and inherentdifferences between nominally identical vehicles, for example, squeaks, rattles, etc.9.6 It
39、is important to note that the test procedure is particularly written for the measurement of interior sound levelsof light vehicles, while ISO Standard 5128 is a generalized interior noise test procedure.PREPARED BY THE SAE MOTOR VEHICLE COUNCIL SOUND LEVEL COMMITTEESAE J1477 Reaffirmed MAY2000Ration
