Comparing Synthesized and Original Sounds

This section allows you to validate the partials and noise data files by comparing these files to the original sound through a sound synthesizer using the Car Sound Simulator technology.

To Compare Synthesized and Original Sounds

Prerequisites: You need *.noise and *.partials files. You need the original recording and its associated RPM.
  1. From the Modules menu, start Car Sound Simulator Add-in...
  2. In Source Signal, select the original recording of the car which has been used for the creation of the *.partial and *.noise files.
  3. Select a *.partial file.
  4. Select a *.noise file.
  5. In Audio output, select the source signal then click Play.
  6. Switch between source signal (original recording) and synthesis to precisely compare the sound of the synthesis to the sound of the real car.

    • If you need to control and design the sound synthesis in real time, select Enable/Disable control panel.

      • Press Plus to add a specific order and manage its gain with the controls.

      • Press Delete to remove a specific order.

      • Move the cursor to increase or lower the gain.

        Note: You can move by hand the RPM cursor on the slider: in this case, you can listen the sound synthesis only.

The comparison is done.
