This document requests sound model documentation through a series of questions. Two models are documented: sonROAD18, last updated October 2024, uses more than 10 vehicle classes and describes sound power levels using propulsion noise and rolling noise components with spectral model coefficients, vehicle speed, road gradient corrections, pavement corrections, and air temperature corrections. The reference pavement is ACMR8 with porosity less than 8%. NExUS, last updated 2025, uses two vehicle classes comparing battery electric vehicles and internal combustion engine passenger cars, describing sound power levels using spectral model coefficients, speed, and acceleration parameters. The reference pavement is dense asphalt concrete AC 11 S. Both models use omnidirectional directivity and position sources 0.05 m above road surface.
