How to eliminate noise in Tiguan?

Methods to eliminate noise in Tiguan are as follows: 1. To reduce engine noise, attach sound-absorbing materials under the hood. 2. To reduce wind noise, install sealing strips or perform door sound insulation. 3. To reduce tire noise, replace with comfort-oriented tires. Details are as follows: 1. Engine noise is generated and transmitted into the cabin through the front fenders, hood, firewall, and exhaust pipe as the engine speed varies. Therefore, vibration damping and sealing these areas can effectively control and reduce engine compartment noise. 2. Wind noise occurs during vehicle movement due to friction between rapidly flowing air and the car body. It enters the cabin through door gaps, so only by enhancing the vehicle's tightness and sound insulation can it be reduced. 3. Tire noise generally consists of three components: air noise from airflow in tire tread gaps and surrounding air disturbance, vibration noise from the tire body and tread patterns (particularly noticeable as road noise and uneven surface noise), and amplified resonance noise formed by friction/impact between tread and ground (especially on bumpy roads) combined with vibrations from components like fenders and mudguards.
Driving a Tiguan can sometimes be annoying with interior noise, as I, a long-time owner, have dealt with it multiple times. The most common issue is wind noise—a whooshing sound at high speeds. Check if the rubber seals on the doors and windows have aged; replacing them can make an immediate difference. Road noise is another culprit, often a humming sound caused by tire wear or overinflation. Switching to quiet tires or adjusting to the standard tire pressure can significantly reduce it. Engine noise is also frequent—if you hear a knocking sound, it might be due to loose engine mounts or muffler issues. Adding some soundproofing pads during maintenance helps. Additionally, loose small parts inside the car can create rattling noises, so check if the interior panels are secure. Most problems can be fixed with simple DIY solutions, so don’t rush into expensive modifications.
Hey, I recently tackled the noise issue with my Tiguan and gained some good insights. Initially, the wind noise at high speeds was so loud it interfered with listening to music, so I bought door sealing strips online and installed them—cut the wind noise in half. If your tires are old or deformed, they can get noisy; switching to quiet tires helped a lot, just remember to check the manual for the recommended pressure and don’t adjust it randomly. If there’s noise from the engine, like a thumping sound at idle, it might be an exhaust system issue—a quick fix at the repair shop should do it. I also added a small sound system, but don’t count on it to mask the noise; eliminating the root cause is key. The fun is in the DIY process. Focus on tires and doors/windows first, tackle the rest gradually. Less noise makes driving much more enjoyable.
