Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle (BSR) Testing in Automotive Development | On-Demand Webinar

As vehicles become quieter—thanks to advances in electrification and reduced engine noise—unwanted interior cabin sounds such as a buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR) are no longer masked. These noises can damage customer perception of your brand, increase warranty claims, and create costly delays in product launches. Effective BSR evaluation is now a critical part of automotive design, engineering, and validation.
In this on-demand webinar, Intertek's Global Technical Director, Rich Byczek, explores the science and application of BSR testing, including:
- What is BSR? Understanding the origins of unwanted noises in vehicles.
- Why test for BSR? How quieter EVs and improved cabin insulation increase the importance of noise-free design.
- Subjective vs. Objective Testing – from trained evaluators to measurable pass/fail criteria.
- Equipment and Fixtures – vibration systems, semi-anechoic chambers, and modular fixtures designed specifically for BSR testing.
- And more!
This webinar is available immediately on demand—no waiting required. Register now and learn how to apply world-class BSR testing methods to your own vehicle programs.
