A simplified formulation to estimate influence of gearbox parameters on the rattle noise by Zhang, Jidong, Sui, Wentao, Dhupia, Jaspreet

“…The rattling noise level is affected by several gearbox parameters, an understanding of which is essential to prevent the expensive design modifications at later stages of product development. To develop such understanding at the gearbox design stage, this paper analytically evaluates the gear parameters’ effect on the root mean square of the wheel gear acceleration under idling condition, which is known to be linearly correlated to the rattling noise level. …”
