BSR Test method for Vehicle Seat using Excitation and Operation Durability Test

BSR noise from automobiles is largely issued in recent as an emotional quality. This study describes the two test methods for determining BSR noise occurred in automotive seat system. First, the sine sweep test is found to be an effective excitation method for determining BSR noise with high frequency. Second, BSR operation test is introduced in such a way that BSR noise during operation of seat height system is measured by several accelerometer at each 800 cycles until 6400 cycles. The periodic noise signal is captured during one cycle after many cycles of operation. Two test method presented in this paper can be analyzed more efficiently BSR noise of the seat.
