What material is the sound insulation cotton in the Tayron?
2 Answers
The Tayron uses a fibrous porous sound insulation material for its sound insulation cotton. The sound insulation mechanism of the cotton involves numerous tiny interconnected pores inside the material. Sound waves travel deep into the material through these pores, where friction with the material converts sound energy into heat energy. Here are some details about the sound insulation cotton: 1. It can reduce and effectively alleviate metal fatigue in the chassis, extending the vehicle's lifespan. 2. The sound insulation cotton provides excellent thermal insulation. When applied inside the engine hood, it effectively prevents the engine's high temperature from directly transferring to the hood, thereby protecting the hood's paint surface and avoiding fogging on the hood during rainy days, which can affect visibility.
I used to drive a Tayron, and its sound insulation cotton left a deep impression on me. It felt like a soft polyester fiber material, somewhat resembling thick cotton padding or down, but more durable. During daily driving, it effectively absorbed wind and road noise, especially when driving on highways, making the cabin noticeably quieter and long-distance driving less tiring. This material is installed beneath the interior panels, and with proper maintenance, it can last for years without issues. However, it’s important to watch out for moisture inside the car, as prolonged dampness may cause the cotton to mold or develop odors. So, I regularly clean the floor mats and check the seals to prevent this. A friend mentioned that replacing it isn’t difficult and isn’t costly—just order some materials online and you can handle it yourself. Overall, this design in the Tayron enhances driving and riding comfort, a small yet practical detail.
