This article proposes an advanced far-field acoustic hologram for vehicle sound source identification and investigates a method of performing contribution analyses in the far field. The hologram is applied for statistically optimized near-field acoustic holography used to identify vehicle sound sources (internal and external). An advanced far-field acoustic hologram is first proposed to improve the spatial resolution of low-frequency sound source locations in the far field. In addition, an acoustic contribution analysis based on near-field acoustic holography is used to provide a direction for low-noise optimization design. Next, a new sound source identification and low-noise technology is explored via the aforementioned methods and applied for sound source identification and acoustic contribution analyses for a vehicle. The analysis results showed that in the process of sound source identification, the contribution of each sound source can be simultaneously sorted, and this finding can help guide research on the low-noise control of a vehicle.
