noise

Noise is unwanted sound considered unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. From a physics standpoint, there is no distinction between noise and desired sound, as both are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The difference arises when the brain receives and perceives a sound.Acoustic noise is any sound in the acoustic domain, either deliberate (e.g., music or speech) or unintended. In contrast, noise in electronics may not be audible to the human ear and may require instruments for detection.In audio engineering, noise can refer to the unwanted residual electronic noise signal that gives rise to acoustic noise heard as a hiss. This signal noise is commonly measured using A-weighting or ITU-R 468 weighting.In experimental sciences, noise can refer to any random fluctuations of data that hinders perception of a signal.

    "Oil canning" noise in the roof - MG5 EV

    Hi, I am having problems with my MC5EV. The roof panel is "oil canning". It clunks when ever the body is stressed - going over the merest bump in the road or even when making turns. MG UK came up with a fix of putting sound deadening foam behind the roof lining. This was done by the dealership...

  2. Engine noise

    Has anybody explored changing the fake engine noise the mg5 makes? Maybe with a box that allows for the noise to be selected.... like those cheap doorbells. Feels like a fun and very achievable little project.

    I'm experiencing a noise from steering column.

    I hear a clunk from the head of the steering column when turning corners or negotiating roundabouts, in fact when the car is stationary and I push or pull the steering wheel it will do it. I took it to a dealer who said that the mechanic couldn't find the root cause of the fault and yet...

    Knocking noise from rear suspension

    Sorry if this isn't a great explanation, but just noticed a loud 'knock' coming from the rear of the car when going over potholes, speed bumps etc. Never done it before. Not sure it would be picked up on a recording if I did one, so trying to explain here instead! It's almost like heaving a...

    Have had my LR for nearly two weeks now. Driven over 800 miles already. The one thing I haven't worked out yet is where a ringing/whistling noise is coming from. Sounds like the front passenger side around the dashboard. Only happens at 45 mph upwards. Road type doesn't make a difference...

    MG5 knocking noise from rear

    I have an intermittent knocking noise in my MG5 when going over bumps. From the driver's seat it sounds like it comes from the rear nearside.

    Has anyone actually had their sunroof noise fixed? What was done?

    There’s quite a few posts about sunroof rattle/creaks on the ZS - I also have a rattly sunroof. I wondered if anyone has actually had the issue rectified and what was done to cure it?

    Loud braking noise with MG Pilot, and roll back on hill

    My father's one month old ZS EV is making a loud, strange, disconcerting noise when the MG Pilot is decelerating, especially when coming to a complete stop (traffic jam assist?). Only tested in KERS mode 3. It doesn't make the sound when using the brake pedal. The best way I can describe it is...

    Squealing Noise In Reverse

    Hi Everyone, My MG ZS EV makes a squealing noise from time to time when I put the car into reverse. I assume this is related to the breaks, but is it common and should I get it fixed at the dealership? Or is it just a normal issue that some cars can have if you rarely use the breaks. Thanks!
