WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION?
Sound that is unwanted or disrupts ones quality of
life is called as noise.
Sound becomes undesirable when it disturbs the
normal activities such as working, sleeping, and
during conversations.
5
How to control noise?
Increasing the distance between the source and the
receiver.
Inserting an obstruction (such as a noise barrier wall).

HIGHWAY TRAFFIC NOISE
Vehicle-generated noise comes from:
engine,
exhaust system,
aerodynamic noise
tire noise.

TIRE/PAVEMENT NOISE
GENERATION
Source Generation Mechanisms
Tread impact
At the interface between the tire and pavement an impact
occurs as the tread hits the pavement .
10
Air pumping
11
Slip-stick
If horizontal forces exceed the limits of friction, the
tread block will slip briefly and then re-stick to the
pavement. This action of slipping and will generate
both noise and vibration.
12
Stick-snap
The contact between the tread block and the pavement
causes adhesion between the tread block and pavement.
When the tread block exits the contact patch, the
adhesive force holds the tread block. The release of the
tread block causes both sound energy and vibration of
the tire carcass

TIRE NOISE MEASUREMENT
Statistical Passby :
methods utilize a random sample of typical vehicles
measured one at a time.
15
Close Proximity Methods (CPX):
Close proximity methods (CPX) were developed to
allow measurement to focus on tire/pavement
interaction noise.
The measurement is taken on a trailer, using
microphones located near the tire.
The trailer includes a hood over the microphones
such that wind noise is reduced and noise from
other traffic is reflected
