A Balanced Approach for Wind Noise Control

A balanced approach for wind noise control is presented in this paper. This approach is focused on improved sound insulation and low mass. Initially, the Sound Transmission Loss (STL) of tempered, standard laminated and acoustic laminated glasses for different thicknesses was measured in a STL suite. The critical frequency range was identified from in-vehicle noise measurements. These STL data and in-vehicle results provided the relevant information for a proposal with better acoustic performance and lower mass. The efficiency of this proposal was confirmed with new in-vehicle measurements.
