For quite some time now, interior noise in cars has been getting quieter. The once dominant sound of the internal combustion engine is now in the background, and other noise sources have moved to the forefront. Due to their high RPM, alternators contribute up to 40% of this total noise inside the vehicle. In order that this noise doesn't become to dominant or disturbing, imc automated the entire test sequence. The system consists of a modular imc measurement system and customized software based on the imc STUDIO software platform.
