Abstract:
La interacción neumático/carretera es la principal fuente de emisión de ruido causado por el
tráfico rodado cuando se circula a velocidades de más de 30 km/h y de menos de 120 km/h, a partir
de la cual, el ruido aerodinámico empieza a predominar. Varios métodos tales como el Coast-By, el

Tyre/road interaction is the main source of noise emission caused by road traffic when
cruising at speeds over 30 km/h and less than 120 km/h, from which aerodynamic noise begins to
predominate. Several methods such as the Coast-By, the Close-Proximity, the Statistical Pass-By or
the Controlled Pass-By have been used over recent decades to measure noise emission. However,
since Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 on the labelling of tyres was published, only the method
described in UNECE Regulation 117 concerning the approval of tyres with regard to rolling sound
emissions, can be used in order to obtain tyre/road noise emission approved values.
All these conventional methods have several disadvantages and limitations such as the lack
of repeatibility, the influence of environmental factors or the different results that can be obtained
depending on the test track or the vehicle upon which the tests are carried out. The lack of a new
methodology that eliminates or reduces all the disadvantages listed before and by which tyre/road
noise measurement is done on a faster, more reliable and cheaper way, is obvious.
This Doctoral Thesis has developed a new test method for obtaining sound power level
emitted by a tyre in a Drum facility based on the international standard ISO 3744. This new approach
combines the expertise of the ISO method with the experimental procedure developed in the tyre
test facilities of the Vehicle Laboratory at Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. The innovation is that none of the research groups that have tested the tyre rolling noise
using drums have done it by a specific engineering standardized method for determining the sound
power level. On the contrary, all previous tests have considered only sound pressure, which is a
magnitude that depends on factors such as the medium in which sound waves travel, the
attenuation or the distance from the sound source so by measuring the sound pressure is not
possible to quantify the sound power of the source unless each and every one of the above
mentioned factors are strictly controlled and defined, a fact not entirely true on the methodology
described in Regulation 117.
This new methodology for tests in Drum facilities includes the location of microphones,
obtaining correction factors for both background noise and acoustic environment and the
operational method for measuring sound pressure and obtaining the sound power emitted by the
tyre. The new method has been validated by comparison with the results of several track tests
carried out according to the Coast-By method described in Regulation 117 and using the sound
propagation model described in ISO 9613 standard, which allows to get the sound pressure level to
be measured at the test track from the sound power level obtained in drum facilities.
The results obtained in this Doctoral Thesis can conclude that the main goal of the research
has been achieved, obtaining a valid test method for measuring tyre-rolling sound emission for
approval of tyres.
