The advent of electrical, electronic and mechatronic fields have demonstrated the potential of not just reducing noise and vibration in vehicle using active technologies, but has also generated the scope of introducing sounds and vibrations that could drive positive emotional response. This is a major requirement for high performance cars and is also growing its importance in the field of mass-produced vehicles.
This conference will seek to explore the latest challenges in this area and unique solutions that industry leaders are employing to move things forward.
We hope that you can join us in Crewe, the home of Bentley Motors Limited and help us make this event successful and regular in the automotive NVH calendar.

2. Dear Colleague,
The field of automotive refinement (noise, vibration, harshness and sound quality) has probably seen
the introduction of new challenges as no other field. The increasing customer demands and aspirations,
new powertrain/drivetrain technologies, legislative changes and demand for weight and cost reduction
continually add to the traditional challenges of refinement and psychoacoustics. The biggest challenges
on the way seem to be thrown up by alternative powertrain/drivetrains and the balance between refinement
and acoustic character.
The advent of electrical, electronic and mechatronic fields have demonstrated the potential of not just
reducing noise and vibration in a vehicle using active technologies, but has also generated the scope
of introducing sounds and vibrations that could drive positive emotional response. This is a major
requirement for high performance cars and is also growing its importance in the field of mass-produced
vehicles.
As the nation of largest development and production of high performance cars that drives unique trends
in the field of automotive refinement, we found it important to organise an event here in the UK – an
event that brings the global experts in this field together to discuss their views. This conference will seek
to explore the latest challenges in this area and unique solutions that industry leaders are employing to
move things forward.
We hope that you can join us in Crewe, the home of Bentley Motors Limited and help us make this event
successful and regular in the automotive NVH calendar.

Advanced measuring, testing and simulation tools
11:00 Use of full vehicle simulator in the development of
powertrain mounting systems
• Traditionally, powertrain mount development involved the
results from Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), which
limits the engineer to producing graphs and animations
that represent the tactile point responses
• We’ve pushed this a step further by linking this objective
data to subjective feel by using a Full Vehicle Simulator (FVS)
• This approach enables the engineering team to engage
senior management in this development process
• Physical simulation has been used on an increasing
number of products within Bentley and has become a
cost benefit owing to the reduction of vehicle tests in
mounting systems development

Workshop D: Emotional automobile and sound
branding for NVH optimisation
This workshop will focus on increasing the understanding of
the sound quality techniques used to tailor and optimise the
customer emotional response to a target driving experience and
to personalise the sound character associated to an automobile
brand. Some questions to be addressed:
• What are the optimal driving scenarios which are characterised
by rapid changes in driver emotional state?
• Can easily identifiable emotional responses provide a deeper
and more natural relationship between the driver and the automobile
than what is achievable by means of only stimulus and response?
• Can laboratory testing with human participants be sufficient to
extract the key acoustic features which correlate with the human
emotional response?
• How to differentiate from competitors for a personalised
acoustic driving experience: is there a common acoustic semiotic
language which communicates the information which produces
the driver emotional response?

Bentley.
As the Evora has only one passenger seat, each demonstration is
limited to one individual at a time.
Carl Dryhurst,
Senior NVH Engineer,
Lotus Engineering, UK
09:00 – 12:00
Workshop B: Noise Optimisation for EV/HEVs
In EVs/HEVs the masking noise from the internal combustion
engine disappears and noise from new sources become audible,
including those from the alternative propulsion systems, power
converters, pumps, fans, and from the car's structure itself due
to road and wind noise.
This workshop will examine all these challenges and solutions to
ensure the optimal sound experience to the drivers of EV/HEVs.
