Abstract

Currently, craftsmanship is changing the focus of automotive manufacturers. Responding to the need for superior auditory quality, the Atoma Technical Center tests automobile parts in its anechoic chamber. With the new focus on craftsmanship, the information provided by the center allows designers to assess the sound quality of interfacing products.
