Summary
The new generation of road vehicles is developing towards electrification, intelligence, interconnection and sharing. Besides being a means of transportation, vehicles are expected to have more functions, such as work and entertainment. In line with these trends, vehicle interior noise control calls for more attention than just controlling physical acoustic quantities. The last decade has witnessed revolutionary progress in the materials, structures, control methods and technologies that create a quieter and more comfortable interior sound environment for vehicles. The existent challenge is that the interior noise in the running vehicle, especially under high-speed conditions, features strong time-varying and non-linear characteristics. New challenges are also emerging for interior noise control, even sound quality, when different functional zones are expected in the future cabin, like the working or entertainment zone. The special issue aims to provide readers with theoretical and engineering advances in vehicle noise control.
