Vibroacoustic Metamaterials for Low-Frequency Sound and Vibration Attenuation in Electric Vehicles: A Review.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles has changed the acoustic design problem in automotive engineering. The absence of combustion-related masking increases the perceptibility of tonal and narrowband sources, including gear whine, electric motor orders, inverter-related components, tire cavity resonances, auxiliary system noise, and lightweight-panel radiation. At the same time, mass-based acoustic treatments conflict with electric vehicle lightweighting, range, cost, and sustainability targets. Vibroacoustic metamaterials offer an alternative route by manipulating elastic and acoustic wave propagation through architected geometries, local resonances, periodicity, membranes, lattice architectures, and adaptive or topological wave-control mechanisms. This review examines vibroacoustic metamaterials for low-frequency electric vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness (EV NVH) from an engineering perspective. It covers mechanisms, EV-specific NVH problems, component applications, materials, manufacturing, modeling, validation, AI-assisted design, sustainability, and technology readiness. Particular emphasis is placed on order-targeted, path-oriented, manufacturable, and experimentally validated solutions for electric-drive (e-drive) housings, wheel arches, battery enclosures, body panels, covers, and auxiliary systems. The review concludes that vibroacoustic metamaterials are most promising when integrated into conventional NVH workflows through order analysis, transfer path ranking, robust resonator tuning, durability validation, and multi-objective design optimization.
