Abstract

To overcome the weakness of the existing noise evaluation method for the window lift motor, a kind of abnormal noise evaluation method based on objective psycho acoustic metrics is proposed. As the existing objective psycho acoustic metrics cannot be fully applicable to the window lift motor noise evaluation, based on the sharpness of the Zwicker model, a weighting factor similar to the window function used to modify the sharpness is proposed according to the characteristic of the window lift motor noise. The effectiveness of the objective metrics on the subjective perception is analysed by consistency experiment of the subjective and objective evaluation of the window lift motor noise. The results show that the loudness and modified sharpness have strong correlation with the subjective evaluation results and can accurately reflect the subjective feelings of people. So they can be used for window lift motor noise classification and evaluation.
