What is traverse mode noise?

Traverse mode noise refers to the sound generated by the movement of a vehicle over a surface, particularly when it moves across road irregularities, such as bumps or cracks. This type of noise is primarily caused by the interaction between the tires and the road, as well as the vehicle's suspension system. It can significantly contribute to the overall noise levels experienced inside and outside the vehicle, impacting comfort and environmental noise pollution. Effective noise reduction strategies often target traverse mode noise to enhance the driving experience.
