Advanced Technical Information Brake Noise Reporting and Documentation All 1603 4636 4 Binder – 4 --- Chassis Vehicle Type: All Model Year: All Information: Brake noise can vary greatly. The most common brake noise complaint is squeal. The frequency range for brake squeal is large and the countermeasures necessary for different frequencies are quite different. The result is that without accurate frequency measurements, it is not possible to determine the appropriate countermeasure. There are modern tools that are very easy to use to collect frequency and volume (measured in Decibels, dB). It can even be easier than trying to get a video or sound recording. The tool mentioned above is called a Spectrum Analyzer or a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). It is possible to download an app for a phone or tablet that accomplishes this task quite easily. A couple of examples are shown below. The following spectrum analyzer app is for Android devices: ©2016 Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

So it is best to capture this live, than to get it from a video (the volume of the computer playing the video will then determine the dB reading). • Screen shots are sufficient, if you are able to freeze the screen and then put a cursor on the noise so that the exact frequency and dB can be seen (like the second one above) that is extremely helpful. Please attach the screen shots to the PQIS job. We will then have a starting point to work from.
