This SAE Standard establishes the minimum operational life cycles, environmental requirements, and sound level output for traffic horns (electric) on new automotive vehicles. Test equipment, environment, and procedures are specified.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a rating scale for subjective evaluations of noise and discomfort in motor vehicles. Through test procedures utilizing specific vehicles on specific roads, the scale may be utilized to assess the relative contributions of tires to noise and discomfort. The noise and ride comfort characteristics attributed to automotive tires have traditionally been estimated by subjectively assigning number designations (commonly on a 1 to 10 scale) to the audible and tactile sensations observed while traversing a given road course in a vehicle equipped with the tires under evaluation. Regardless of advances in objective measurements of tire properties related to noise and discomfort, subjective evaluation will continue to be necessary for the purpose of establishing the significance of such measurements.

This procedure provides for the measurement of the sound generated by a test tire, mounted on a single-axle trailer, operated at multiple speeds.

This SAE Standard establishes the test procedure, environment, and instrumentation for determining the exterior sound level for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks having a gross vehicle mass rating of 4540 kg or less. The test procedure is characterized by having fixed initial conditions, i.e., an as-specified initial vehicle speed and gear selection at a fixed start point on the test site. Full-throttle acceleration and closed-throttle deceleration of the vehicle are included in this procedure. Sound levels determined in accordance with this document are dependent on the performance capability of the test vehicle, as influenced by power-to-mass ratio and overall powertrain gear ratio.

This SAE Standard establishes the maximum sound level for passenger cars and light trucks and describes the equipment, test environment, and procedure for determining this sound level.

This SAE Standard establishes the test procedure, environment, and instrumentation for determining the exterior sound level for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks having a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4540 kg (10 000 lb) or less. The test procedure of this Standard is characterized by having fixed initial conditions (specified initial vehicle speed and gear selection at a fixed acceleration point on the test site) in contrast to the procedure of SAE Recommended Practice J1030, Maximum Sound Level For Passenger Cars and Light Trucks, which has fixed terminal conditions (attainment of rated engine speed at a fixed end point on the test site). Full-throttle acceleration and closed-throttle deceleration of the vehicle are included in both procedures. Sound levels determined in accordance with this Standard are dependent on the performance capability of the test vehicle, as influenced by power-to-weight ratio and overall power train gear ratio.

Various SAE vehicle sound level measurement procedures require use of a sound level meter which meets the Type 1 or Type 2 requirements of ANSI S1.4-1983 (see 2.1.1.1), or an alternative system which can be proved to provide equivalent test data. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide a procedure for determining if a sound data acquisition system (SDAS) has electro-acoustical performance equivalent to such a meter. By assuring equivalent performance of the test instrumentation, the equivalence of test data is assured. Two general configurations of sound data acquisition systems will be encompassed (see Figure 1). The first configuration consists of instrument sections which perform as a sound level meter. The second configuration is a system which records data for later processing. The intent of this document is to establish guidelines which permit the test engineer to insure equivalence of sound data acquisition systems to a sound level meter.

The scope of the recommended practice includes the system performance requirements for the entire sound measurement system. It provides the methods needed to verify Type 1 or Type 2 instruments. However, it also provides a method to qualify a SDAS that does not meet the requirements in their entirety, but can be used provided knowledge of the test data is obtained and an iterative process is followed in qualifying the SDAS. The system need only be qualified for the dynamic characteristic and weighting mode in which it is to be used. The scope of this document does not include qualification of system components for harmonic distortion, tape recorder wow and flutter, etc. However, these factors must be considered when determining system performance, especially where spectral information is sought. The references in Section 8 should be consulted for general performance requirements and precautions regarding instrumentation for acoustical measurements.

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.
