How to make your car quieter and more comfortable.
Driving pleasure and comfort while driving a car consist of a number of components:
The softness of the car's suspension, the dynamics of steering control, the convenience of viewing the road and the environment. Also, the amount of noise entering the cabin plays a large role in comfort. When driving in the cabin of most inexpensive cars, road and environmental noise becomes unpleasant or even annoying. Whether driving on the highway or in the city, when reaching a speed of 50-70 km/h, the amount of noise can be significantly reduced if you treat the car with special soundproofing for cars.
A natural question arises, why doesn't the manufacturer do this right away? The answer is the competitive price of the car. In production, the cost price includes not only the cost of the soundproofing material, but also its gluing. The steps in assembling a car on a conveyor are listed in minutes, and in order to perform high-quality soundproofing, it takes a lot of additional time. Another reason is that the total weight of the car increases by several dozen kilograms.
Where does the noise come from?
The nature of perceptible sound is the vibration of elastic waves in space. Given that the car body is usually made of metal with a complex profile (individual parts can be hollow), this is an ideal environment for the movement of sound waves, resonance from vibration, as well as random wandering of reflected sound. Sound vibrations in a car are divided into air and structural. Airborne noise causes air, structural noise - vibrations of solid materials.
Therefore, to achieve good results, it is necessary to install soundproofing for automobiles in the car.
Vibration isolation
Vibration isolation, its purpose is to suppress resonances of flat surfaces (the so-called drum effect). Bitumen mastic with various additives is usually used for this, so that at sub-zero ambient temperatures this material does not harden and cease to function. This is very important when choosing vibration isolation. Bitumen sheets from cheap manufacturers harden into stone in winter and do not perform their function, even worse, when they crack and crumble from vibration.
How does it work? Metal, plastic, bitumen and aluminum materials have different resonant frequencies. Therefore, when these materials are glued one on top of the other, they dampen each other, which results in the desired effect. The greater the thickness or number of layers of such materials, the greater the damping effect, but it should be remembered that these materials are not light, so the weight of the car parts also increases rapidly. So if you are going to glue the trunk lid with vibration isolation material, consider that the gas shock absorbers of the lid will have to overcome all the additional weight so that it does not lower itself down.
Sound insulation
At this stage, the goal is to maximally suppress stray noise reflections in the medium and high frequency range. The most effective sound insulation is a special material for this purpose, felt or pyramid-shaped sheets. But it should be remembered that due to the temperature difference, moisture condenses on the surfaces of car parts, and when it rains inside the doors, direct water flowing from the glass also appears.
Therefore, before purchasing soundproofing materials, it is recommended to choose responsibly or consult with the specialists of the Autogarsa salon or service. To avoid such unpleasant moments when, as soon as you start enjoying the results of soundproofing for cars, unpleasant creaks do not appear in the car after the first rain or humid weather. In such places, closed-pore materials are used, the moisture absorption of which is minimal.
Antiscrip is usually a thin, adhesive synthetic fabric that eliminates the squeak or creaking noise produced by two surfaces when they come into contact. For example, front panel parts, door trim, etc.
Sound insulation. Vibration insulation. Stick-on sound insulation. All these products, when properly installed in your car, will reduce noise, which is not only unpleasant, but can also cause serious health problems. Solve them with good soundproofing materials for cars, and you will be assured of additional comfort during your trip. You will feel less vibration while driving, you will not hear squeaks caused by parts touching each other, and extraneous noise from the street or engine compartment will not interfere. It will become easier to talk in the car, you will get less tired, and nothing will distract you while driving.
