Nissan has delivered the latest chapter in the Nissan “TITAN Truckumentary”! Part eight is titled “The Sound of Silence” and addresses the issue of noise, vibration, and harshness when driving. Many drivers experience the quiet, quality ride of sedans and smaller cars and are requesting that this achievement be translated to their trucks.
“People use the truck to go camping on the weekend, to go to dinner with their families, and they use it as their work vehicle. So it”s important for the truck to be functional, but just as important to be able to take phone calls and be able to work and live in the truck. Quietness is a key selling point for a lot of people for full-sized trucks now.” said John DeYoung, Senior Manager of Nissan”s Noise and Vibration Test Group.
The episode covers the process that was used to achieve the perfect balance between that quietness that customers desire without eliminating the powerful exhaust sound from the vehicle”s Cummins 5.0-liter Turbo Diesel engine.
