If you were asked to name one benefit of electric cars, what would you mention? Well, many people appreciate the low electric car sound. It\u2019s true, the electrified powertrains operate on much lower sound levels, which makes these vehicles relatively quiet compare to the ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles. But there’s a big but.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the fact that the loud internal combustion engine is removed, electrified vehicles lose the largest noise source. This means that the other sounds like \u2013 wind, road and ancillary system noise become more audible, and believe me, these sounds are not very pleasing for human ears. At least, it\u2019s nothing you want to be bothered while driving your new car. And this is the new challenge<\/a> for the NVH development teams. What\u2019s more, these teams need to work around the clock to develop new model faster than the competition. So, the new challenge and time pressure pushes the automotive OEMs and suppliers to reshape the established development process and adopt new development technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
