NVH Engineering (Noise, Vibration & Harshness)_

NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) is the name given to the measurement and development of vehicle noise and vibration characteristics. Often, this is conducted on automotive vehicles or trucks, however all vehicles have some form of NVH requirements. 

With unrivalled expertise and cutting-edge technologies, we are dedicated to optimizing the acoustic performance and comfort of your products. Whether for the automotive, aerospace, or consumer goods industry, our experienced team of NVH specialists is here to tackle even the most complex noise and vibration challenges. From concept design to final production, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including measurement, testing, and tailored engineering solutions. Partner with us to enhance the quality and refine the acoustic signature of your products, ensuring a harmonious experience for both you and your customers. 

Acoustic Research Consulting offer turn-key solutions to our NVH clients, from benchmarking and target setting to full scale NVH development projects.
