Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) was used during the design of a new heavy duty truck. This paper provides an overview of the building and validation process of an airborne SEA model of a typical commercial vehicle. Predictions of interior noise levels are compared against tests. A noise path contribution analysis is presented, demonstrating how the impact of potential design changes on the interior sound levels can be evaluated with an SEA model.
