Re:Test Engineers can help you with your Buzz Squeak and Rattle Test Services and Equipment.

Buzz Squeak and Rattle (BSR) testing was developed in the 80's as automotive product performance became more competitive. As the interior noise of vehicles was reduced through improved engine isolation, body and suspension designs, annoying non-linear noises caused by vibrating surfaces, stiction, friction, etc. became more evident. Buzz Squeak and Rattle (BSR) tests were developed to identify and troubleshoot these issues. Because on their non-linear nature, identifying issues can be a challenge. While a vehicle may be completely quiet in most conditions, a certain temperature and humidity combination might cause mating plastic structures to expand (or contract) and introduce a coefficient of friction that creates an annoying audible noise. Buzz Squeak and Rattle (BSR) tests are performed on complete vehicles in development labs and production lines (for quality control) and on components such as instrument panels.
