AES 5th International Conference on Automotive Audio

Measuring in-car audio performance is an important task as it allows car makers and Tier 1 suppliers to objectively validate, evaluate and compare audio systems across different car models. To address the lack of consensus on measures and procedures, the Technical Committee of Automotive Audio of the Audio Engineering Society created a white paper that draws a standard procedure for in-car acoustic measurements. This article presents a comprehensive study conducted following the guidelines of the white paper on automotive audio measurements. The study was carried out on two models, including a high-performance super car, providing a unique perspective on the applicability of these guidelines in the domain of sports cars. This study aims at contributing to the ongoing discourse in automotive audio engineering, emphasizing the need for adaptable and flexible measurement standards for the widest range of vehicle types.
