System and method for noise localization in a vehicle

A method for noise localization, the method comprising:

• performing a plurality of measurements of a noise produced by a defective part using a plurality of vehicle sensors;
• determining a location of the defective part based at least in part on the plurality of measurements using at least one of:
• a machine learning based method and an analytical method;
• and
• identifying the defective part based at least in part on the location of the defective part.

A system for noise localization for a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a plurality of vehicle sensors, wherein the plurality of vehicle sensors includes at least three microphones, wherein each of the at least three microphones is affixed to a different location in the vehicle;
• and
• a controller in electrical communication with the plurality of vehicle sensors, wherein the controller is programmed to:
• perform a plurality of measurements of a noise produced by a defective part of the vehicle using each of the at least three microphones;
• determine a location of the defective part within the vehicle based at least in part on the plurality of measurements;
• and
• identify the defective part of the vehicle based at least in part on the location of the defective part within the vehicle.
