This standard specifies methods for measuring tyre-to-road sound emissions from tyres fitted on a motor vehicle or towed trailer under coast-by conditions, i.e. when the vehicle or trailer is in free-rolling, non-powered operation, with transmission in the neutral position and the engine as well as all auxiliary systems not necessary for safe driving switched off. Whereas the results of the vehicle method are closer to the tyres sound than those of hat the trailer method, the tyre sound is affected by suspension; the test results of trailer method can be even closer to sound emissions produced by the tyres alone.
This standard is applicable to new tyres of passenger cars and trucks. It is neither applicable to determine the sound contribution (sound field distribution) of tyres of vehicles running in normal condition nor to the determination of traffic sound and its damage degree at a given location.

4 General
This standard is applicable to measurement of sound emitted from the tyre of a test motor vehicle (see Annex A) or trailer (see Annex B) in coast-by conditions.
The test results are an objective measure of the sound emitted under the prescribed conditions of the test, i.e. A-weighted sound pressure level.
