What It Takes To Build A Nissan – Ep 4
[Music] On this episode of What It Takes to Build a Nissan, we are going to meet engineers dedicated to keeping unwanted sounds out and making our desired sounds enter our brains at the highest quality possible. [Music] We want to deliver perfection to the customer translating to zero squeaks and rattles. So, what is this room? Uh, we call this the environmental chamber. We subject the vehicle to virtually anything it can experience out in the field. And we also, so to speak, shake the of it. We can simulate tens of thousands of miles of usage. What are you looking for? We’re looking for noises. We don’t want to hear any. I am hearing something. Oh my gosh. We’re founded. The Morano is such a quiet car, we actually had to plant something in there for you to be able to hear any noise. This room is called a Hemiianoid chamber, and we use it for testing acoustic performance of cars. Oh wow, it’s so cool. It’s so quiet in here. Every material we put in this car, it’s layered with sound deadening materials or sound absorbing materials. So we test how efficient those are now you want to hear it. Okay. So this is what we’re trying to measure the volume inside and the volume at any microphone outside the car. And the bigger the difference, the better the sound packaging. That was a pretty big difference. Yes, it is. We understand that the vehicle is one of the top places where people listen to their music. So we want to make sure it’s the best it can possibly be. binaural head. There’s two microphones in there and that captures everything you need to know about the audio scene. The shape of the ear, the shape of the head, all that plays into what you hear. Let’s turn it up and enjoy. [Applause] [Music]
We can’t see sound — but when there’s too much…or not enough, it’s all you can think about. Join us and @MichelleKhare in seeing how Murano became a masterclass of quality in sound.
