Summary:

Research is demonstrating that it is possible to significantly reduce the in-cab noise levels of the Army's current truck fleet, with accompanying exterior noise reduction. Results are applicable to future Army trucks as well and are reported on a program utilizing a 5-Ton Army Truck. This type of truck was found generally to exceed the applicable limits established in the new MIL-STD 1474, "Noise Limits for Army Material."The program identified major noise sources and important paths for sound to enter the cab and resulted in the selection of optimum sound absorption, sound barrier and vibration damping materials. The effect of a prototype exhaust system and its placement relative to the cab and the importance and optional means of controlling cooling fan and engine noise were also investigated
