 Sciemetric - Noise, Vibration and Harshness Testing — NVH Testing for Manufacturers by Sciemetric
NVH testing catches issues that can affect the performance of the sub-assembly or part over time, creating warranty and recall situations.
NVH testing has been challenging for manufacturing, since most test systems produce inconsistent results and often fail to detect a significant percentage of noise and vibration defects.
NVH is used in different applications to catch a range of defects.

 ETAS - NVH Analyzers Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
NVH Analyzers integrate measurement data from noise and vibration sensors with serial data obtained from a vehicle's engine and transmission ECUs, and then correlates the vibrations or noise with their possible sources.
For a service technician, the intent is for the MTS 4100 NVH Analyzer to specifically identify the vehicle subsystem that is causing the excess noise or vibration and in many cases, the actual component within that subsystem.
The Toyota/Lexus NVH Analyzer Kit was the predecessor to the MTS 4100 NVH Analyzer and works in conjunction with the Toyota Diagnostic Tester, a member of the MTS 3100 Scan Tester (Mastertech) family.

The noise diagnostics function is similar to the vibration diagnostics function but the MTS 4100 NVH Analyzer measures noise from one or two microphones instead of accelerometers that measure vibration.
A separate NVH signal conditioning module is provided to amplify and filter the accelerometer and microphone signals before they are applied to the MTS 3100 Scan Tester.
The MTS 3100 NVH Analyzer Kit does not perform drive shaft balancing, does not have the bandwidth or processing speed of the MTS 4100 NVH Analyzer and utilizes a user interface that is less optimized for NVH analysis as it is shared with other scan tester functions.

NVH is an important vehicle attribute in today's automotive market.
The automotive engineering community relies on NVH testing and NVH CAE to ensure that the vehicles produced are quiet (Noise), that vibrations of the moving components on the vehicle are not transmitted to the body of the vehicle (Vibration) and that the interior of the vehicle is insulated from the road induced vibration (Harshness).
CAE allows to analyze the NVH attributes before the first vehicle prototype is built, allowing engineers to understand the problems and identify solutions early in the design process.

 Brake NVH -- Part I
Now, NVH is as much of a study of the mechanical world as it is of human senses.
These vibrations are then transmitted to the fluid of the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical impulses, which the brain receives and interprets as sound.
This transmission and conversion of sound waves into nerve impulses is one of the cornerstones of understanding NVH and brake noise.

 Turning NVH into a Competitive Advantage Sound and Vibration - Find Articles
Developing components, subsystems and the complete vehicle to the required levels of noise and vibration characteristics by using computer-based simulation, testing and analysis tools is referred to as NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) engineering, representing one of the most complex and strategically important aspects of automotive development.
This is certainly true for the suppliers of components such as mounts, bushings, exhaust systems and trim that directly contribute to the NVH characteristics of a car.
This way, suppliers of components where NVH is not a primary product attribute might suddenly be confronted with NVH aspects because of their increased responsibility for all aspects of their component or subsystem.

NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) is an overall measure of the ``feel'' of a vehicle reflecting the noise level, vibration, and harshness felt while driving.
NVH has become an important part of an automotive quality indicator with the customer's perception of quality being based, in part, on sound levels in the passenger compartment.
With the introduction of weight-saving under-hood components, and emphasis on passenger compartment noise levels, the problem of flow-generated noise, both interior and exterior, has become an important issue for the automotive industry.
