Workshop on the Acoustics of Automotive Interiors 2023

FULLY BOOKED

We have had a fantastic response to this event, and as a result it is now fully booked. Please follow us on LinkedIn for news about future events.

2nd – 3rd March 2023

Chilworth Manor Best Western Hotel
University of Southampton Science Park
Southampton, SO16 7PT, UK

The automotive industry is entering a period of unprecedented change. This workshop will bring together specialists from industry and academia to discuss a number of topics of fundamental importance to the future of automotive transport. As powertrains become electrified, interior noise will change in character and light-weighting will introduce still greater challenges for the control of motor, road and aerodynamic sources. The possibilities for controlling such unwanted sound by “active” means remains of interest in these circumstances. There is also the possibility of delivering enhanced “3D” audio experiences and even independent “sound zones” for passengers wishing to enjoy different entertainment system streams.

Sessions include:

I	The acoustical challenges faced in designing vehicles for a low carbon economy
II	The internal noise and vibration environment in new generations of electric and hybrid vehicles
III	The active control of interior noise and vibration
IV	The generation of private sound zones for vehicle occupants
V	The delivery of spatial audio (3D sound) to vehicle occupants
