The trend towards quieter vehicles has led to increased efforts in designing automotive intake manifolds for improved vibro-acoustic performance. The present work experimentally investigates the acoustic behavior of: 1) a production plastic manifold under tip-in conditions; and 2) three V8 prototype intake manifolds (aluminum, stereolith, and plastic) under steady flow conditions. An experimental setup is developed in the flow laboratory to reproduce tip-in conditions, which involve rapid opening of throttle. The impact of varying the flow field downstream of the throttle body on tip-in whoosh noise is investigated by varying the throttle opening rate and inserting flow modifiers between the manifold and throttle body. Steady flow noise investigations with the prototype manifolds are conducted on a flow bench at 3 flow rates and corresponding throttle opening angles. Impact testing is also performed on all prototype manifolds to examine the level of correlation between measured noise and structural vibrations.
