If the car speed reaches 120 km/h, the interior noise should be below 69 decibels to meet the standard. Normal car interior noise standards: Generally, the noise inside a sedan should be below 60 decibels to be considered normal. 40-60 decibels is the range for normal conversation. According to GB-1495-2002, the exterior noise limit for small cars (M1 category vehicles) is 74 dB(A) (decibels). Currently, there is no mandatory standard for car interior noise. Introduction to car interior noise: When a car is running, it generates noise, causing noise pollution both inside and outside the vehicle. Generally, interior noise mainly comes from engine noise, road noise, tire noise, wind noise, resonance noise, and other sources.

I often drive on highways, especially at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour, so the topic of in-cabin noise standards is very practical. Generally, noise levels range between 65 to 70 decibels, equivalent to the sound of a bustling office, which can affect the comfort of listening to music or chatting with family. I've noticed that regular car models tend to have higher noise levels at this speed, and if the tires are worn or the door seals are aged, the noise can easily exceed 75 decibels, leading to ear fatigue and distraction. It's advisable to test the noise levels during a high-speed test drive when purchasing a car. Ideally, opt for models with noise levels below 65 decibels, such as some mid-to-high-end sedans that use double-glazed windows and soundproofing materials, which show noticeable effects. Additionally, regular maintenance like replacing quiet tires or checking the hood seals can effectively reduce noise. Personal experience tells me that lower noise levels make long-distance driving more relaxed and improve overall mood.

As an enthusiast passionate about automotive details, I get excited when discussing the 120 km/h noise standards. The core issue is that noise levels typically range between 65-75 decibels, primarily composed of wind noise, tire noise, and engine vibrations. Having compared various models, I've found compact SUVs may reach 75 dB, while luxury vehicles like Lexus can maintain levels below 60 at the same speed, thanks to aerodynamic design and active noise cancellation systems. Relevant national standards such as GB7258 recommend not exceeding 65 dB, but the most reliable approach is checking actual vehicle certification reports. I advise fellow car enthusiasts to reference noise test data extensively and experience highway driving during test drives – lower noise levels not only enhance driving pleasure but also reduce long-distance fatigue. Installing soundproofing mats or switching to low-rolling-resistance tires can work wonders. Remember, noise reduction is a crucial factor in driving comfort.

Regarding driving skills, there is no unified standard for in-car noise at 120 km/h, typically around 65-70 decibels. Aerodynamic drag, tire friction, and engine sound are the main causes; well-designed cars with strong sealing can reduce it to 60. I often remind car owners to choose quiet tires and regularly check the seals when repairing cars. Excessive noise affects concentration, so I recommend prioritizing noise-reducing models.

Tesla's Maximum Wading Depth?

Tesla's maximum wading depth is 138mm. Tesla's wading depth is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake is below the water level when wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. Alternatively, installing a wading snorkel can increase the height of the engine's air intake, thereby increasing the maximum wading depth. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could lead to severe damage if water enters the engine. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to estimate water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, avoid entering the water and choose an alternative route instead.

Should the Nissan Sylphy ECO Mode Be Turned On?

In congested urban traffic conditions, turning on the ECO mode yields the best results, while it is unnecessary during high-speed driving. In stop-and-go city traffic, strong power is not required, and frequent acceleration and braking lead to higher fuel consumption. Activating the ECO mode in such scenarios not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances driving comfort. Scenarios where ECO mode is unnecessary: There are a few situations where ECO mode is not needed: 1. When the car is driving at high speeds (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. 2. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing hills, the engine computer will prioritize delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. Location of the ECO button: The ECO button is typically located on the left side of the car, marked with the letters 'ECO.' Some models feature a green button, making it easily identifiable.

Do I Need to Change to Snow Tires When Driving to Northeast China During the Spring Festival?

Driving to Northeast China requires snow tires, as their grip performance is significantly better than regular summer tires or all-season tires. If you encounter icy roads, most vehicles without snow tires will be unable to move. Snow tires help vehicles achieve optimal braking performance on winter roads. Snow tires, also known as winter tires, are made by adding certain additives to ordinary rubber during production, ensuring the tires do not harden significantly in winter. Regular tires tend to become very hard in winter, reducing their grip and making them prone to slipping in snowy conditions. The tread material of snow tires is softer, and their specially formulated silica-mixed rubber compound allows for tighter contact with smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires. This improves the vehicle's handling and safety on icy roads. Tires are rubber products, and prolonged use leads to aging. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners replace their tires regularly. Generally, tires should be replaced every four years. When purchasing tires, make sure to check the production date clearly.
