How Loud is the Fista?
2 Answers
The Fista has a noise level of 39.4 decibels at idle; when the speed reaches 60km/h, the noise is 61.7 decibels; at 80km/h, the noise is 64.2 decibels; and at 120km/h, the noise is 68.6 decibels. Here are the specific details: 1. The Fista uses Nexen tires with a specification of 225/45R17, which perform poorly in noise reduction. While driving, the sound from the connection between the tires and the road surface is transmitted into the car, especially at high speeds. The Fista's tire noise performance is significantly worse compared to other cars in the same class. Additionally, because the Fista has excellent acceleration performance, the engine noise is also relatively loud, leading to poor test results in engine noise. 2. If you want to reduce the interior noise, you can consider changing the tires. There are tires specifically designed for noise reduction, although they tend to be more expensive. 3. Furthermore, the internal structure of the engine may age over prolonged use, and incorrect tire pressure can also lead to increased interior noise.
I've been driving the Fista for over a year now, and the engine noise is generally manageable during daily commutes. At city speeds below 60 km/h, the engine remains fairly quiet without much disturbance. However, when accelerating on highways or uphill, a noticeable humming sound becomes apparent, especially during hard acceleration when engine vibrations enter the cabin. It's louder than some more premium models but much better than older economy cars. The Fista's design isn't top-tier in noise reduction, likely due to its power output demands. I recommend regular maintenance, such as cleaning the air intake and checking the muffler, which can effectively reduce noise. Overall, the Fista's noise level is moderately high, suitable for budget-conscious buyers—not annoyingly loud, but those seeking silence might consider upgrading or choosing another vehicle.
