Communicate the process of accurately measuring sound power levels of positive displacement hydraulic pumps commonly used in ground vehicle steering systems. This recommended practice defines the pump mounting (pulley, belt tension, isolation), operating conditions (fluid, speed, temperature, pressure), room acoustics, instrumentation, noise measurement technique and data acquisition setup to be used. Included are recommendations for test sample size, and format for data presentation/reporting.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a laboratory test procedure for measuring the acoustical performance of a system consisting of a body cavity filler material formed into a rectangular cross-section channel. Materials for this test may include both heat reactive and chemically reactive products, with or without a shelf to simulate a baffle in an application, or a combination of body cavity filler and aluminum foil to enhance the performance. These materials are commonly installed in transportation systems such as ground vehicles, and thus reduce the noise propagation through the rails, rockers, and pillar/posts. This document is intended to rank order the acoustical performance of materials for application on channels using general automotive steel, such that the effects of sealing of pinch welds in addition to the material could be easily evaluated.

This SAE recommended practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the performance of light-duty automotive electric engine cooling fan assemblies. These Electric Cooling Fan (ECF) assemblies are purchased by light-duty truck and passenger car OEMs from suppliers. They are purchased as complete assemblies, consisting mainly of the fan(s), motor(s), and shroud (see Figure 1); this Recommended Practice will only consider such complete assemblies. Some purchased assemblies using brush-type motors may also include digital control devices such as power resistors or pulse width modulation (PWM) electronics or local interconnect network (LIN) for speed control. In the case of brushless motor technology, the controller is an integral part of the motor where it also performs the commutation process electronically. The performance measurement would include fan output in terms of airflow and pressure, and fan input electric power in terms of voltage and current.

This procedure is applicable to squeal type noise occurrences for passenger car and light truck type vehicles that are used under conventional operating conditions. For the purposes of this test procedure, squeal is defined as occurring between 900 and 18 000 Hz.

This information report provides definitions of acoustical terms relating to sound insulation materials. Appropriate methods of test are being developed by SAE and where applicable, ASTM methods will be referenced.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to mobile, construction type, crane and cable excavator band and foot controls. It should not be construed to limit the use of, or to apply to combination controls, automatic controls, or any other special operating control requirements.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the test procedure, environment, instrumentation, and data analyses for comparing interior sound level of passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks having gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4540 kg (10 000 lb) or less. The test procedure is characterized by having fixed initial conditions (specified initial vehicle speed and gear selection at the starting point on the test site) to obtain vehicle interior sound measurement during road load operation over various road surfaces at specified constant speeds. The measurement data so derived is useful for vehicle engineering development and analysis.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the test procedures, environment, and instrumentation for determining the maximum exterior sound level of passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks having a gross vehicle mass (weight) rating of 4540 kg (10 000 lb) or less. This document is intended for use when the maximum sound generating capability of any applicable vehicle is to be measured. The test procedure is characterized by having fixed terminal conditions (attainment of rated engine speed at a fixed end point on the test site) in contrast to the procedure of SAE J986 NOV81, Sound Level for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks, which has fixed initial conditions (specified initial vehicle speed at a fixed acceleration point on the test site). Full-throttle acceleration and closed-throttle deceleration of the vehicle are included in both procedures.
