Global expertise in acoustic solutions
Faurecia's R&D teams develop groundbreaking materials and modular soundproofing solutions. The group actively pursues a global approach to the field of acoustic comfort, investing in some of the most powerful analysis and simulation tools on the market. It also proposes new concepts to customers and offers acoustic consulting services.
Tackling interior and exterior noise
Faurecia tackles interior and exterior noise, including noise generated by the vehicle's structure, the surrounding air and components such as indicators, the air-conditioning system and electric windows. Faurecia's experts analyze the frequency of the noise source and its path through the vehicle. Solutions are developed to provide increased insulation or absorption, while optimizing how noise is transmitted and dissipated inside the vehicle.
Cutting-edge expertise in acoustic technologies
The Acoustic Synthesis Method, developed by Faurecia's acoustics experts, reproduces the sound inside the vehicle so that the insulating and absorbing properties of the acoustic module can be tweaked for maximum effect. This hybrid method combines digital simulation with leading-edge experimental technologies.
Faurecia's Acoustic Technology Centers play a key role in acoustic comfort research. They feature test chambers for analyzing the sound level of fully assembled vehicles in all types of situation, psycho-acoustic laboratories and a range of software systems for simulating and analyzing acoustic energy flows within the vehicle.
Faurecia's acoustics engineers can also carry out global acoustic studies on any given vehicle on behalf of a manufacturer before the development and production cycle begins.
