Visualization of pass-by noise by means of moving frame acoustic holography

The noise generated by pass-by test (ISO 362) was visualized. The moving frame acoustic holography was improved to visualize the pass-by noise and predict its level. The proposed method allowed us to visualize tire and engine noise generated by pass-by test based on the following assumption; the noise can be assumed to be quasistationary. This is first because the speed change during the period of our interest is negligible and second because the frequency change of the noise is also negligible. The proposed method was verified by a controlled loud speaker experiment. Effects of running condition, e.g., accelerating according to ISO 362, cruising at constant speed, and coasting down, on the radiated noise were also visualized. The visualized results show where the tire noise is generated and how it propagates.
