How to Solve the Noise Problem in Fit?
2 Answers
You can perform full-vehicle sound insulation. Here is some relevant information about the Fit: 1. Structure of the Fit: The Fit adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension structure. However, the front suspension uses a geometric-shaped structure, and the rear suspension has also been partially adjusted, including the angle of the shock absorber, the torque-decomposed shock absorber bracket, etc. In addition, stabilizer bars are installed on both the front and rear suspensions to improve body stability during steering. 2. How to Solve the Noise Problem: Performing full-vehicle sound insulation can significantly reduce the noise in the Fit, with the decibel level likely to drop by about 5. Use high-quality sound insulation materials, and it is necessary to perform wheel arch sound insulation, engine sound insulation, and firewall sound insulation, among others.
I've driven a Fit for several years, and the noise issue is indeed a headache. It might come from aging tires or uneven road surfaces—switching to quiet tires can make a big difference. It could also be loose parts in the engine bay causing rattling; check the belts or mounting points for looseness yourself. For wind noise, inspect if the door/window seals are worn out, and applying some DIY soundproofing strips can help reduce it. Regularly maintaining tire pressure at the recommended level and cleaning the undercarriage mud during car washes can also minimize noise. In short, don’t rush into major repairs—start with simple, cost-effective fixes, and you can often improve the driving experience significantly on your own.
