In this paper, a study is made to determine the critical dimensions in the design of a family of reactive mufflers which significantly affect the sound quality of the tailpipe radiated noise. The sound quality parameters of the tailpipe noise such as the loudness level, the roughness and the tonality are measured, and a new sound quality metric is developed which can be used as an index to predict the performance of a muffler. The new sound quality metric was based on the evaluations of the synthesized tailpipe noise by a jury consisting of a few undergraduate and postgraduate students at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Using the new sound quality metric, the parameters with the most influence on the design of the muffler can be determined. It was found that the length and the open area ratio of a concentric-tube resonator muffler have the highest impact on the tailpipe noise sound quality.
