What's New?
For 2022 R1, Ansys VRXperience Sound will be officially renamed to Ansys Sound. For this release, the focus is around improved sound quality and design for our users, including:
- A color map display for the ISO 532-1 standard so users can immediately check the time (or RPM) and frequency to ultimately reduce noise annoyance.
- Fully released FRF (Frequency Response Function) capability allows users to characterize the transfer function of a system by estimating frequency response and minimizing the effect of noise at the receiver. Results can be transferred to Fluent to filter a simulation result for a more robust analysis.
- Optimize acoustic performance and reduce noise annoyance with tonality indicators that can be calculated in display order with the ability to switch order levels. This is especially of interest to customers working with rotating machinery.

Acoustics Capabilities
Listen to and Analyze Sound Quality
Learn More >Listen to and Analyze Sound Quality
Based on real test measurement or acoustic CAE simulation, listen and separate the sound sources, to then analyze the sound and improve the sound quality.
Optimize Engine Sound for E-Motor
Learn More >Optimize Engine Sound for E-Motor
E-motor optimization means you can simulate the noise radiated by the e-motor and optimize designs according to acoustic KPI or sound quality criteria.
Listen to Mechanical and Fluids Simulations
Learn More >Listen to Mechanical and Fluids Simulations
Through vibro-acoustic and CFD simulations, you can listen to the sound of your virtual prototype and optimize the acoustic performance and sound quality at the beginning stages of the design process.
Evaluate Sound Perception with Jury Testing
Learn More >Evaluate Sound Perception with Jury Testing
Along with qualitative testing, acoustic design includes real-world perception—something Ansys evaluates with jury testing tool, with several psychoacoustic methods including statistical analysis.
Active Sound Design for Automotive
Learn More >Active Sound Design for Automotive
Active Sound Design technologies can create an atmosphere to make the vehicle more alive, more attractive and safer thanks to audio feedback while driving. This is used for ICE engine cars and EV, including AVAS and ADAS sound.
From component-level acoustic simulation to system-level sound rendering
