Re: [AUDITORY] #hearing aids #car-cabin noise #speech intelligibility

[Nilesh Madhu <000000405df1884c-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello group,
Bruel & Kjaer (in co-operation with the AUTO BILD magazine (German))once 
did a nice comparison of the sound insulation levels in a subset of 
cars. A summary of the study can be found here:
https://www.bksv.com/en/about/waves/WavesArticles/2014/in-search-of-the-worlds-quitest-car

While it does not precisely answer Gaston's question, it does, at least, 
give some pointers to those interested in such studies. In any case, it 
makes for very interesting reading.

Best regards
Nilesh
