Description of a method of reducing the drive-by noise levels radiated from a 14 litre diesel engined truck by utilising a combination of conventional noise reduction techniques applied to the engine. The combustion and mechanical exciting forces within the engine were lowered by turbocharging and low noise pistons respectively, coupled with a small reduction in the rated speed. The resultant radiated noise was largely attenuated by employing simple shielding arranged to form a tunnel around the engine and attached to the engine with isolation mounts. It has been shown that the drive-by noise level can be lowered from 92,5 dBA to 82 dBA with this treatment. Furthermore, a level of 80 dBA was achieved when some additional silencing and shielding was applied to the non-engine noise sources. The paper also includes a method of calculating the radiated combustion and mechanical noise levels from an engine. (Wassmann)
