چکیده

a bench has been designed and built : it allows that a subject can be placed on a car seat excited in the vertical direction; the subject also has his hand on a vibrating steering wheel and can hear noises through headphones. Thus a realistic simulation of the environment of the driver of an engine car running at idle is possible. After measurements on six cars, three paired comparison tests have been conducted : in the first one, the test person is only exposed to noise; in the second one, he/she is also exposed to vibrations measured in the cars, but he/she is always asked to evaluate only sounds; in the third one, he/she is then asked to evaluate the overall annoyance of the situations while being exposed to all stimuli. The comparison between the results of the first two tests proves that vibrations have an influence on sound perception in a small but significant way. In the third test, the jury can be separated in two groups of people using different criteria : for the first one, the overall annoyance is only related to the vibratory stimuli, whereas in the second one, noise stimuli are also important for the evaluation. ha l-0 08 49 42 8, v er si on 1 31 J ul 2 01 3 Author manuscript, published in "Acta Acustica united with Acustica 90 (2004) 987-993" Acta Acustica united with Acustica 90 (3004), 987-993 2 Résumé : un banc d'essai a été réalisé pour permettre de placer un sujet dans des conditions représentant celles rencontrées dans un habitacle de voiture fonctionnant au ralenti. Le sujet est assis sur un siège vibrant verticalement, les mains posées sur le volant qui vibre selon la colonne de direction. Simultanément, le sujet entend par un casque le bruit enregistré par un mannequin acoustique. Après des mesures dans six voitures diesel (common rail), trois tests de comparaisons par paires ont été réalisés : dans le premier, le sujet n'est exposé qu'aux sons; dans le deuxième, il est également exposé aux vibrations, mais sa tâche est toujours de ne comparer que les sons; dans le troisième enfin, il doit comparer le confort global de chaque véhicule. La comparaison des résultats obtenus pour les deux premiers tests a montré que la présence de vibrations peut, de façon légère mais significative, influencer le jugement porté sur les sons. Par ailleurs, dans le troisième test, deux stratégies différentes ont été mises en évidence : certains auditeurs ne tiennent compte que des stimuli vibratoires alors que d'autres utilisent l'ensemble des stimuli pour comparer le confort des véhicules.

Vibro-acoustical comfort in cars at idle : human perception of simulated sounds and vibrations from three and four cylinder diesel engines

This paper deals with comfort in diesel cars running at idle. A bench was used to reproduce the vertical vibrations of the seat, the vibrations of the steering wheel and the noise measured at the driver’s ears. Two paired comparison tests were carried out using stimuli recorded in seven cars equipped with 3 or 4 cylinder engines. In the first one, subjects were exposed to seat vertical vibratio...
