Abrollgeräusche
Abrollgeräusche refer to the sounds produced by a wheel as it rolls over a surface. These noises are a direct result of the interaction between the tire tread and the ground. The complex pattern of the tire's grooves and blocks, along with the material properties of the rubber, cause vibrations and air displacements that generate sound waves. The specific characteristics of abrollgeräusche, such as their pitch, volume, and pattern, depend on a variety of factors. These include the type of tire (e.g., winter tires, summer tires, off-road tires), its tread design, inflation pressure, and wear. The surface on which the tire is rolling also plays a significant role; rougher surfaces like gravel or asphalt will produce different sounds compared to smoother surfaces like polished concrete. Additionally, the speed of the vehicle and the load on the tire can influence the intensity and nature of the abrollgeräusche. In automotive engineering, the reduction of abrollgeräusche is an important consideration for improving vehicle comfort and reducing noise pollution. Manufacturers employ various technologies in tire design and vehicle construction to minimize these sounds, such as optimized tread patterns, specific rubber compounds, and sound-dampening materials within the vehicle.
