Vehicle database includes detailed
dimensions
For each vehicle in the database, NVH Observer includes 6000 curves such as spectra, orders, sensitivities, TPA noise contributions, modes and binaural time traces.
LMS International has released NVH Observer, a highly detailed and subscription-based database with vehicle NVH benchmarking information Currently, the database contains fourteen reference vehicles with plans to increase it by at least eight vehicles a year

Improvements to the art of noise (and vibration)
LMS International has upgraded its Test.Lab integrated software suite for noise and vibration testing and engineering.
For each vehicle in the database, NVH Observer includes 6000 curves such as spectra, orders, sensitivities, TPA noise contributions, modes and binaural time traces.
The full collection of data has been gathered by NVH experts from LMS Engineering Services.
Users are able to keep their benchmarking budgets under control and access a wider range of vehicles, as well as more detailed data, while at the same time eliminating costly and time-consuming external studies.
Users can access ready-to-use benchmarking data at any time from practically anywhere in the world.
A dedicated search interface on top of the LMS Tec.Manager database software helps users from various internal departments access relevant data much easier and faster.
A few mouse clicks and users can view competitive NVH differentiators that can help strategically position new vehicles, investigate concepts and support solution development.
After initially establishing the system with a core group of four members from European and Japanese OEMs, NVH Observer membership is now open to all automotive development centres and suppliers worldwide.
Dr Gagliardini from NVH vehicle development at PSA Peugeot Citron said, "With LMS NVH Observer, the PSA Peugeot Citron NVH department has more than doubled the amount of competitive data, providing us a broader view of the NVH performances in the market".
"NVH Observer offers excellent value since it contains highly consistent data obtained via a standardised measurement process which facilitates vehicle-to-vehicle comparisons and prevents misinterpretations or erroneous processes".
"Users are assured that the data is correct, they can even trace and verify the exact instrumentation via the photographic database", said PJG van der Linden, LMS' NVH Observer Manager.
"Thanks to the fact that the database cost is distributed over a large group of users, membership terms to this initiative are extremely advantageous".
"Membership to LMS NVH Observer not only gives users easy access to existing data, members are also invited to set priorities for the next vehicles to be benchmarked". Request a free brochure from LMS International ...
