NVH Consulting LLC Spotlights Tire Noise and NVH Optimization for Superior Vehicle Acoustics and Road Interaction
Auburn Hills, Michigan – August 13, 2025 – NVH Consulting LLC, a expert in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) engineering solutions, is highlighting the tire’s essential role in vehicle acoustics, NVH performance, and road interaction. As the primary interface between the vehicle and varying road surfaces, tires generate specific noise spectra and vibrations that significantly influence interior and exterior noise levels, passenger comfort, and overall driving refinement. Founded by tire NVH specialist Johann Pankau, NVH Consulting LLC provides advanced optimization services to design quieter tires and mitigate NVH issues for automotive OEMs, tire manufacturers, and related industries.
Unlock superior tire NVH performance with NVH Consulting LLC’s specialized expertise. Say goodbye to unwanted noise, vibration, and harshness for a more refined and enjoyable driving experience. By mastering tire-road interactions, the firm helps clients achieve balanced tire designs that excel in acoustic performance while balancing other tire performances.
Key insights from NVH Consulting LLC on tire noise and NVH essentials include:
- Mastering Tire NVH Essentials: In vehicle acoustics and dynamics, tire-generated noise and vibrations from road interactions are key factors—directly impacting overall NVH levels, passenger comfort, and acoustic quality.
- Vibration and Noise Path from Tire/Road Excitation: Understanding tire-road interaction is crucial for vehicle NVH performance. Different road surfaces create unique noise spectra and interact variably with tire designs, tread patterns, and types such as winter, all-season, or summer tires.
- Expert NVH Optimization Services: Our specialists refine tire and vehicle NVH using decades of specialized noise, vibration, and harshness analysis, testing, and mitigation, with a focus on subjective-objective correlations. This includes designing quiet tires for reduced interior and exterior noise, optimizing tread patterns to balance performance attributes while minimizing NVH, and leveraging knowledge of how various road surfaces excite specific frequency intervals in the tire interior noise spectrum.
Johann Pankau’s extensive experience in tire NVH testing across global proving grounds—owned by various OEMs and tire manufacturers—provides unique insights into tire-road dynamics. His domain expertise covers designing quiet tires, balancing tread patterns for NVH reduction, and optimizing tires for best acoustic performance by addressing frequency-specific excitations from diverse road surfaces.
“Ready to silence the road? At NVH Consulting LLC, we draw on over 35 years of tire NVH know-how to transform vehicle acoustics and comfort,” said Johann Pankau, Founder and Chief Technical Officer of NVH Consulting LLC. “From analyzing noise paths in tire-road interactions to custom optimization for different tire types, our services deliver tailored solutions that enhance NVH performance and resolve acoustic challenges effectively.”
NVH Consulting LLC is dedicated to supporting innovators in the automotive sector and beyond with comprehensive tire NVH consulting, helping to create quieter, more comfortable vehicles through expert design and testing strategies.
