NVH Active Sound Design

Design and experience the right sound for your vehicle

How do you create interior soundscapes and exterior vehicle

sounds that convey vehicle character and brand DNA
without spending countless hours in a vehicle on the road?

How do you break the time-consuming cycle of “design in

studio”, then “try in a car”, then repeat?

VI-grade has partnered with Blackberry® QNX® to provide

the full-featured LiveAMP™ Active Sound Design (ASD)
toolset integrated with the NVH Simulator software for real-
time design and experience of ASD sounds.

Create your sound in the LiveAMP software, then experience

this in the context of all other vehicle sounds and with the
dynamic driving conditions of a vehicle. NVH virtual
prototypes and NVH simulator models provide an immersive,
ultra-realistic acoustic experience on the desktop, in which
ASD sounds can be properly experienced, developed, and
fine-tuned in real-time.

The QNX LiveAMP software runs in parallel with the NVH

Simulator software. Driving inputs and vehicle performance
parameters from the NVH Simulator are fed to the LiveAMP
software, and the ASD sound is generated and then played
back through the NVH Simulator together with the rest of the
vehicle sound. Different ASD sounds and concepts can be
compared back to back, easily switching between multiple
designs with a single click in the NVH Simulator. Sounds can
be further filtered, adjusted and modified in the NVH
Simulator. For example, to evaluate the impact of the AVAS
speaker on interior sound quality, the AVAS speaker ASD
sound can be combined with the transfer function from the
speaker location near the front of the vehicle to the driver or
passenger ear.
The QNX ASD playback and LiveAMP toolset are available to
all NVH Simulator users at no additional cost. Further, the
ASD tools can be used with any version of the NVH Simulator,
including the DESKTOP NVH Simulator, Exterior Sound
Simulator, On-Road NVH Simulator and STATIC NVH
Simulator.

Applications
Sound design for interior sound enhancement for EVs
Sound design for interior engine sound enhancement
Exterior sound design for AVAS
Exterior sound design for general exterior sounds
Benefits
Faster, easier, less expensive and safer than on-road
evaluation, testing, tuning
Design the sound simultaneously while driving a virtual
vehicle
Design in context of all vehicle sounds, right on the
desktop
Evaluate exterior sounds for a wide variety of
manuevers with varying levels of ambient noise and
traffic
Rapid deployment to production using QNX
middleware/runtime libraries
