This SAE Recommended Practice sets forth the equipment, environment, and test procedures to be used in measuring sound levels of engines. The purpose is to provide a uniform method of measuring the maximum acoustical radiation from the exterior surfaces of an engine under representative engine operating conditions. The measured sound levels will be useful in development of engines, comparison of engines, and installation of engines in various applications. The correlation of the measured engine sound levels to the various application sound levels will have to be developed.

The scope includes determination of frequency response characteristics for the entire measurement system except the microphone. However, the procedure described herein prescribes inclusion of the manufacturer’s frequency response calibration data for the microphone in order to determine if the overall system is within required tolerances. The scope also includes determination of certain dynamic performance characteristics of the sound level indication devices. The scope of this document does not encompass qualifying components for harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, tape recorder flutter and wow, etc. The references listed in section 6 should be consulted for general performance requirements and precautions regarding instrumentation for acoustical measurements.
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the test procedure, environment, and instrumentation to be used for measuring the exterior exhaust sound level for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks under stationary conditions providing a continuous measure of exhaust system sound level over a range of engine speeds. This document applies only to road vehicles equipped with an internal combustion engine. The method is designed to meet the requirements of simplicity as far as they are consistent with reproducibility of results under the operating conditions of the vehicle.
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the test procedure, environment, and instrumentation to be used for measuring the exterior exhaust sound level for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks under stationary conditions providing a continuous measure of exhaust system sound level over a range of engine speeds. This sound level measurement procedure has been developed for use in engineering evaluation of the sound level performance of passenger car and light truck exhaust systems. It provides the means for detecting exhaust system resonances with the potential to affect both exterior and interior sound quality. This document incorporates certain provisions of ISO 5130-1982-02-15, for measuring the sound level of exhaust systems. (See Appendix A.)

This SAE Standard establishes the test procedure, environment, and instrumentation to be used for measuring the exhaust sound level for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks under stationary conditions. Measurements are taken under steady-state conditions. In this respect, this procedure differs from ISO 5130 which includes measurements under the dynamic conditions of an engine deceleration. This sound level measurement procedure has been developed as a guide for governmental agencies establishing vehicle in-service sound level regulations and enforcement measurement procedures. It is directed at the assessment of vehicle exhaust noise and is not intended to determine maximum vehicle sound levels. (See Appendix A.)
