Purpose. To provide a common procedure for recording in a laboratory the sounds of subsystems or components (that can be directly actuated by the customer - Customer Actuated Sounds – (CAS)) for analysis for sound quality evaluation using measuring microphone.

Foreword. The sounds of subsystems must be recorded to apply the objective methods for Sound Quality Metric evaluation. Many subsystems have multiple modes of operation. Each mode of operation must be recorded independently for evaluation and comparison. This procedure is intended to describe the operating conditions of the subsystems, the recording methods to be used, and the various analysis methods that may be applied to the recordings for the objective Sound Quality Metric evaluations. Not all the analysis methods described in this procedure need to be applied to the sounds of every subsystem. The requirements or test procedures for the specific subsystems or components will identify which methods are to be used.

Applicability. Any subsystem or component that is installed on vehicles and can be directly actuated by the customer.
