Abstract

The design of tyre and road surfaces both play a part in the generation of tyre noise. However, design changes can only be made provided that there is full understanding of the wider issues. This report summarises the research carried out on tyre noise and describes the considerations given to the development of the experimental design and details the study plan adopted. It describes the tyres, road surfaces and vehicles that have been selected for inclusion in the project and the various measurement methods used, and examines opportunities for reducing tyre noise in the future through improved design and noise assessment procedures.
