The invention relates to a method for calculating engagement noises of a spiral bevel gear pair. The calculating method comprises the followings steps: taking a tooth of the spiral bevel gear pair as a spring, and taking a gear body as a mass vibration system; setting a mounting system in a rigid non-vibration state except the environment noises; selecting a reference point according to a given load and noise value, confirming the noise value, the load, the transmission ratio of the spiral bevel gear pair and the pitch circle speed of a driving wheel according to the design requirement of a finished vehicle, and calculating the relative sliding ratio and the superposition degree; calculating the vibration speed coefficient of a spiral bevel gear and the amplitude of vibration of the spiral bevel gear pair, converting a helical angle, calculating the engagement noises of the spiral bevel gear pair, and analyzing the result. The calculating method provided by the invention is simple, the calculation time is short, the error is small, and the accuracy is high; through the calculation and analysis, the structural parameters of the spiral bevel gear pair is optimized, and references are provided for selecting manufacturing process and accuracy reasonably and reducing the engagement noises; and the design efficiency is improved, the design and manufacturing cycle is shortened, and the manufacturing cost is lowered effectively.
