NVH Research Activities
Prepared for Future Challenges
The perception of noise ranges from being an FEV accepts this tremendous challenge for a
annoyance to something that is harmful to our clean and quiet environment, in close coope-
health. Therefore, the European Community ration with universities and public research
will significantly increase activities in programs centers.
to reduce road, rail and aircraft traffic noise.
One example of FEV’s cooperation in EU-
sponsored projects is InMAR (Intelligent Ma-
terials for Active Noise Reduction). The task is
to apply actuators and foils based upon piezo
technology to reduce powertrain induced noise
and vibration using active control.
