In recent years one-box-cars are very popular in the market. So their interior noise level is required to be the same as that of passenger cars. To find an effective way to reduce the noise level, we studied why the noise level is high in a one-box-car as compared with a passenger car. We found that, because the diesel engine is placed under the front passenger seat, only narrow space is allowed between the engine and the engine cover, and this narrow space amplifies the noise. We confirmed by numerical simulation that this conclusion is appropriate. Based on the conclusion, we proposed to set up a silencer to lower the noise level, and found that it works effectively.
