Acoustic intensity mapping and combustion/mechanical noise separation are two tools that may be used to determine the optimal approach of noise reduction.
The hollow sound-absorbing wheel is a road noise-reducing technology that minimizes tire resonance. Tire resonance is noise in the 200Hz frequency range caused by tires vibration when driving. The vibration of the tires sidewall induced by contact between the tires and the road surface creates an amplitude rise in a resonance inside the tires, resulting in noise. The main objective of noise, vibration, and harshness materials development was to reduce vibration and noise, but it is now important not only to improve practical performance but also to stimulate driver sensitivity and create a natural sound that best fits the vehicle; it is now an era in which customizing and sentimental user experience are important aspects of a vehicle.
NVH materials are used in the automotive industry to eliminate unwanted noise, vibrations oscillations caused by car mechanics, and harshness. NVH materials such as fused rubbers, metal and film laminates, molded foams, and tailored resins are used to control air and structure-borne noise, as well as noise created by automotive interior components. NVH materials have gained popularity in recent years as they absorb noise and keep it from entering the vehicle, reducing discomfort and enhancing ride quality. Noise, vibration, and harshness materials market is utilized in automobiles to alleviate consumer discomfort, which affects vehicle durability. Automobile manufacturers are emphasizing acoustic management and noise reduction in passenger and commercial vehicles to improve fuel efficiency, reduce cabin noise, and increase durability. Thus, the developments in automotive industry boost the growth of the NVH material market expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The active noise control system is a technology that allows manufacturers to achieve better noise control while using less NVH material in their vehicles. This approach uses the vehicle's audio system to reduce low-frequency unwanted noise by emitting sound waves that are the same volume but reversed in phase to the original sound. High-frequency noise requires the use of noise-cancelling material as this approach can only reduce low-frequency noise. Active noise control systems are only concerned with noise cancellation, they cannot compensate for vibrations transmitted throughout the vehicle body. However, as such technology progresses, it may be able to replace NVH control material in the coming years, reducing the need for them. Thus, using active noise control system in vehicles is predicted to hinder the market growth of noise, vibrations and harshness during the forecast period.
In addition, the demand for noise, vibration and harshness materials market is expected to increase in heavy commercial vehicles so as to improve their operational efficiency. Volatility in raw material pricings coupled with the introduction of alternatives such as active noise control systems is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
