Abstract

The article will present the results of noise measurements inside MAN city buses. Ten measuring microphones were placed in the passenger compartment of the tested vehicles, which, through the PULS measuring system, enabled simultaneous recording of acoustic signals during driving and at a standstill. The aim of the analyses was spatial and scoring analysis of the distribution of sound levels in the passenger compartment of the bus at a standstill and during the ride. In addition, for the acceleration phase, the locations with the highest and lowest sound levels have been identified, and graphic zones for distribution of sound levels were determined.
