Abstract
The sensation of loudness and of the special sound character of diesel powered cars, the so called dieselness, are important factors influencing the assessment of sound quality of the idling noise of diesel powered cars. The close relationship between those magnitudes will be discussed by means of results of psychoacoustic experiments. Hence, combining loudness and dieselness in the right way leads to good predictions for the estimated sound quality of idling diesel cars. Calculated and psychoacoustically measured sound qualities will be compared.
