When the frequency approaches 120 CPM (2 Hz), occupants perceive the ride as harsh. Consequently, the suspension of the average family sedan will have a natural frequency of about 60 to 90 CPM. A high-performance sports car will have a stiffer suspension with a natural frequency of about 120 to 150 CPM (2 to 2.5 Hz). Originally, human sensitivity to ride frequency was believed to be associated with the natural oscillations of an adult human body during a walking gait.
Not only that, but when the car finally hits 110km/h, the engine will be screaming at around 5,500rpm. Neither is great on oneâs patience, ear drums nor the longevity of the car. Multiple gear ratio transmissions, then, allow cars to strike an acceptable balance between acceleration, top speed and fuel economy.
