BSR testing
We isolate and identify the causes of unwanted audible noises to help you eliminate them.What is BSR testing?
BSR (buzz, squeak, and rattle) testing uses real-life data files to simulate different road profiles. This simulation helps isolate and identify the causes of unwanted audible noises in automotives. By providing repeatable testing conditions, manufacturers can accurately evaluate these noises and receive recommendations on how to eliminate them.
TÜV SÜD has advanced this field with the introduction of a silent and efficient servo electric road simulator. This offers a complete solution for detecting, diagnosing, and eliminating annoying sounds during design or production verification.
Why BSR testing is important
In today's competitive automotive market, BSR testing plays a crucial role for manufacturers. Many customers perceive an unwanted noise as an indicator of poor quality or a potential safety issue. Traditional testing methods may not always replicate real-world conditions or provide precise isolation of the noise sources. This can lead to prolonged troubleshooting and ineffective solutions.
BSR testing uses quality road simulations and sensitive testing equipment to accurately pinpoint and address noise issues. This reinforces customer confidence by ensuring vehicles are free from unwanted noises, helping to enhance your brand's reputation as a reliable manufacturer.
Using BSR testing to address noise issues early on can prevent costly rework and repairs during the manufacturing process. Early and accurate identification of noise sources enables manufacturers to minimise production costs and potential delays, optimising overall profitability and time-to-market.
