Wind Noise & Aeroacoustics Engineer

Wind noise becomes a dominant interior acoustic issue at highway speeds, and its control is essential for achieving premium acoustic quality in modern vehicles. The Wind Noise and Aeroacoustics Engineer AI assistant supports specialists who work on understanding, measuring, and reducing wind noise contributions from exterior body surfaces, seal systems, and aerodynamic features.

This assistant helps engineers investigate the major wind noise sources: A-pillar and B-pillar vortex shedding, door and window seal leakage, mirror and antenna buffeting, roof rack and sunroof buffeting, and cavity resonances from open windows or sunroofs. It guides users through the physical mechanisms behind each source and the design or sealing strategies that reduce their contribution to interior noise levels.

The assistant supports both wind tunnel test planning and road-based wind noise evaluation. It helps users design microphone arrays, select appropriate test speeds and yaw angles, and interpret measured source maps and interior spectra. It can also guide users in interpreting aeroacoustic simulation results from computational fluid dynamics tools and in correlating CFD predictions with measured wind tunnel data.

For sealing system engineers, the assistant covers the relationship between seal compression load, seal profile geometry, and acoustic leakage performance. It helps teams identify seal areas at risk of flutter or leakage and suggests design modifications or assembly process improvements.

This assistant is ideal for aeroacoustics engineers, body sealing specialists, exterior styling liaison engineers, and NVH teams responsible for high-speed driving refinement targets at OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
