Abstract
The vibration and noise of automobiles by lightening might cause decreasing the product value. In this study, an improvement of the door closing sound of lightened door and a structural modification of the door outer panel were investigated in consideration of human sensibility. To forecast by CAE easily, a series of verifications was done with a simplified door experiment model. Acoustic sensitivity analysis was used to detect an effective position for structural changing. Finally, an actual door closing sound was designed to a pleasant sound.
