Abstract

The first part of this article in the last ATZ issue described the concept of a test bed complex that is tailor-made to meet the requirements of Volkswagen AG. Extremely low ambient noise levels — even when the powerful air conditioning system is switched on — allow acoustic examinations to be performed without any disturbance. This second part of the article deals with the anechoic room lining, which was developed by Fraunhofer IBP, and the quality of the free-field properties that can be achieved by this.
