In this paper, we have analyzed the problem of the engine noise propagation and have classified that there is a fundamental relationship between exterior noise and structural design.
In the case of light vehicles, we have isolated the following 2 factors in structural design which have a direct bearing on exterior noise.
  1. (1)
