Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system for diagnosing faults in a vehicle using multiple audio sensors. The audio sensors are placed in predetermined locations within the vehicle. The audio sensors continually detect sound signals being originated from components of the vehicle. The audio sensors process detected sound signals to remove unwanted noise from the detected sound signals. The audio sensors compare processed sounds signals with reference sound signals to identify one or more faulty components. Each reference sound signal is associated with a particular fault. The audio sensors transmit information associated with the one or more faulty components to an analyst computer. An interactive graphical user interface of the analyst computer may present the information to an analyst.
