The importance of vehicle refinement lies in the fact that vehicle manufacturers are continuously searching for ways in which vehicles can be improved and their production costs reduced. This involves studying and quantifying a wide range of noise sources from engine structure-borne noise to airborne tyre noise. Consumers now expect high levels of comfort and refinement from all passenger cars (and commercial vehicle, too). In response, car manufacturers are placing vehicle refinement at the heart of their product development strategies.
