Exhaust Noise & Vibration System-level structure borne vibration problem

Loud noise in rear passenger seat at cruising speed is believed to be due to exhaust resonance.

Neon RT exhaust test bed as an example of a complex system-level N&V problem

An increase in the spring rate of the Neon suspension introduces a system-level noise problem in the 300-350 Hz frequency range.

- Why does a change in the suspension subsystem create a vibration problem in the exhaust subsystem in the first place? - How and why does a stiffness change in the exhaust system inlet pipe affect the vibration problem?

Exhaust Noise & Vibration Contradictions in diagnosing the problem

An increase in the spring rate of the vehicle suspension subsystem causes the exhaust subsystem resonances to shift upward due to perturbed boundary condition.

Certain modes are affected by increase in suspension stiffness, K2

How do draw a pressure mode shape?

When we draw the pressure mode shape in the volume, we must go through zero twice over 360 degrees and return to the original pressure.
