How to Deal with Loud Noise When the Santana's Air Conditioning is On?
1 Answers
You can install some high-quality sound-absorbing foam materials under the engine hood, which not only helps suppress vibrations caused by the hood but also absorbs a significant amount of noise. Below are solutions for noise issues in the Santana: 1. Excessive Tire Noise: Tire noise is usually generated by friction and impact between the tire surface and the ground, and it is transmitted into the cabin along with vibrations from the fenders and wheel wells. Installing soundproofing materials on the doors, fenders, and wheel wells can effectively reduce noise. 2. Excessive Wind Noise: Wind noise mainly results from friction between the car body and air during driving and enters the cabin through door gaps. Besides adding soundproofing materials inside the doors, you can also choose to install or replace door seals. Since seals are rubber products, they may degrade over time, reducing their soundproofing and sealing effectiveness. However, excessive sealing layers can hinder smooth door operation and cause door deformation, so they should not be too thick. 3. Body Vibration Noise and Rattles: Some cars may have significant wind noise, which could be related to the vehicle's design or caused by poor assembly or design flaws, such as loose screws or aging shock-absorbing rubber pads. Typically, tightening screws or replacing parts can resolve these issues.
