HEAD Press Releases Herzogenrath, 13.08.2007
HEAD acoustics H3S Software now available with BTPS software    Product details
The HEAD 3D Sound Simulation System H3S is a software for a true-to-life and interactive simulation of vehicle interior sounds. With H3S, airborne and structure-borne sounds can be simulated, processed and optimized for use in several applications: as a sub-system to a complete driving simulator, in the SoundCar from HEAD acoustics, in Listening Studios, in any standard vehicle (without simulated vibrations) during a real test drive, or at a desktop PC. H3S fulfills the most important requirements for a sound diagnosis. Subjects learn how different driving and operation modes of vehicle variants can be experienced and evaluated in the interactive simulation. The playback is aurally-accurate and takes those structure-borne components into account that are important for an authentic overall impression.
H3S now has an interface for the Binaural Transfer Path Synthesis. This is a proven method which was developed by HEAD acoustics for the synthesis and prediction of, among others, vehicle interior sounds on the basis of a Binaural Transfer Path Analysis (BTPA), i.e. the analysis of the measured excitation signals and transfer functions. Thereby, H3S offers the possibility to subjectively evaluate and modify impacts of single vehicle sound paths without the need to exchange hardware components.
H3S is used for benchmarking, the definition of target sounds, A/B comparisons of different vehicle types, the evaluation of control element sounds and, today, it is a key element for trouble shooting and during the development of new vehicle types.
