Ritesh Sharma is an NVH Engineering Consultant ready to help you fix your noise problem.
He is waiting to hear from you.
I first got started in NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) by happenstance, filling in last minute on a voice of the customer event where I was needed to judge whether or not I would buy a car based on how it sounds.
From that experience I shifted my career in the pursuit of answering two questions: How can noise and vibration data be leveraged to drive improvements? Why are some sounds perceived as harsh and others as harmonious?
Full Vehicle Experience
I began my journey in vibroacoustics at Honda spending days and weeks chasing down noise issues in a full chassis dyno, out on the test track, and even on the streets of Alabama.
Drivetrain NVH
Most of my projects are focused on drivetrain components: transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, and electric drive units. My ultimate goal is to help reduce the amount of noise these components generate.

NVH in Manufacturing
What if it were possible to stop a noisy powertrain unit from being built in the first place? My current research in manufacturing is working to tackle this exact question, linking NVH measurements from End of Line stations to physical gear measurements using Machine Learning techniques.
