How to improve car soundproofing

There are several proven ways to improve car soundproofing. Thus, according to experts, a budget car can easily be upgraded to a premium class one.

Excessive noise creates a lot of inconvenience and discomfort while driving. Therefore, OBOZREVATEL has prepared some life hacks for car owners, as high-quality additional noise isolation can make driving much more enjoyable.

It is quite logical that the engine makes the loudest noise because it is where the main process takes place. Shafts, suspension, and gears often create vibrations and noise. There are also so-called "noise amplifiers" - hoses, cables, and harnesses.

Experts advise using vibration-damping and noise-absorbing materials on the upholstery and body. This should be done in stages.

Heavy bitumen can be used to dampen large flat panels. It usually has an adhesive layer on one side and a protective foil on the other. It is better to choose a thicker plate so that it can be better rolled on the inside of the body and upholstery panels.

After vibration isolation, the panels should be soundproofed. Specialized noise-absorbing material for cars will help. It should be glued on top of the vibration isolation in a thick layer. This way, you can also prevent corrosion because this material does not absorb moisture.

If the clips that hold parts together dry out, this can also create excessive noise. This includes panels, harnesses, wires, cables, hoses, etc. Wearing and aging of the materials used to wrap wires at the factory to prevent knocking on metal and plastic also causes noise.

Experts recommend a comprehensive noise reduction of the area.
