Pirelli

Over one hundred years' experience of tyre technology has enabled Pirelli to combine maximum levels of security, durability and comfort in its products. With today's enhanced technology, and an enthusiasm for driving, Pirelli engineers have been able to make vast steps forward.

Each Pirelli tyre provides not only performance but also a “feel for the road” and communication with the driver, allowing a better understanding of the vehicle's performance.

Bernd Sattler heads Pirelli’s noise and vibration test department and has worked with acoustics at Pirelli for more than 18 years. He says, “We use an 8-channel PULSE multi-analyzer to record data from controlled coast-down tests made in a 10 × 7 metre semi-anechoic room. PULSE is known to be an easy-to-use and accurate measurement platform.” The test data is extensively used in the development of new, quieter tyres.
