The MIL-HDBK-767 standard, a United States military defense standard, provides proven guidelines for designing silent tracked vehicles and reducing interior tracked vehicle noise by redesigning vehicle components. These guidelines primarily focus on track and suspension components. Additional guidelines are provided for designing a quiet body and motor housing.

The noise of tracked vehicles is always a communication problem, causing hearing loss and allowing the vehicle to be detected over long distances. The design guidelines presented in this standard are the product of 10 years of research and development into the interior noise reduction of lightly armored tracked vehicles.
This standard discusses existing techniques for reducing internal noise in light armored tracked vehicles. It focuses primarily on sources that have a significant impact on internal noise. External noise is only considered as a consequence of reducing internal noise. This standard provides a good overview of the design of quieter light armored tracked vehicles.
The MIL-HDBK-767 standard provides design recommendations for reducing the interior noise of lightly armored tracked vehicles weighing less than 30 tons. These guidelines may apply to heavier vehicles, but are only validated for weights less than 30 tonnes. This standard is suitable for both new vehicle designs and redesigns of existing vehicles.
The target audience with this standard is:
The main noise reduction needs are:
Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer design-oriented testing services for internal noise reduction in light armored tracked vehicles under the MIL-HDBK-767 standard, thanks to our trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
