Abstract
Automobiles provide various signs to drivers when a specific part is broken or is about to break down. They send out various abnormal signs through unusual vibrations transmitted to the body, symptoms that can be identified with the naked eye, abnormal phenomena that can be detected by smell, and sounds generated from the start of the engine. In this study, This paper studied a method to diagnose the sound generated when a timing belt of an automobile breaks down and use it to immediately repair the same sound when it occurs in the future. Of course, abnormal sounds can be detected not only when a timing belt of an automobile breaks down but also when various parts of the automobile break down. This paper suggests the need to study sounds related to automobile failures occurring in various parts. An automobile diagnosis program through sound can be provided to the owner-driver when the automobile is released, installed in the vehicle to perform self-diagnosis, or can be applied in a smart environment and put into practical use. Ultimately, this program is to enable automobile manufacturers to create a manual for vehicle failure diagnosis through sound and provide it when the vehicle is released or to install a self-inspection system that analyzes sound and warns the driver so that drivers can check and repair matters related to failure diagnosis on their own and prevent major accidents in advance.
