Is Full Vehicle Soundproofing Effective?
1 Answers
Full vehicle soundproofing is indeed effective, primarily targeting engine noise, road and tire noise, wind noise, and structural body noise with noticeable results. The details of soundproofing are as follows: 1. Engine Noise: The engine sound increases with higher RPMs. Besides driver control, automotive soundproofing projects can further reduce engine noise. Owners can have professionals treat the internal and external parts of the engine firewall to effectively minimize engine noise. However, this soundproofing modification may alter or affect the vehicle's original equipment, so it is not recommended for this part. 2. Road and Tire Noise: This is caused by vibrations and noise from tire and road friction, with significant differences between asphalt and concrete surfaces. Fan Liangyin suggests that vibration damping is the best method to reduce road and tire noise. Comprehensive soundproofing of the fenders, floor, and doors using damping plates, specialized damping materials, sound-absorbing mats, and door seals can effectively mitigate tire and road noise. 3. Wind Noise: This occurs when wind pressure exceeds the door seal resistance at high speeds, entering the vehicle. The faster the speed, the louder the wind noise. Without sound-absorbing and soundproofing materials to absorb and block, the noise continuously reflects and overlaps, creating resonance. 4. Structural Body Noise: This is mainly influenced by two factors: the vibration transmission method of the body structure and the noise generated by the vibration of metal components inside and outside the vehicle body.
