Auto Noise: quick facts

According to many experts, in recent years, in an effort to reduce production costs and to reduce the final cost of the car, manufacturers first begin to save on sound insulation. Most clearly this trend is observed in the segment of medium-price category.

The effect of noise on us

Of course, all innovations related to the economy, directly affecting our comfort. And although the main parameters of the machine noisiness comply with the accepted standards and requirements, more and more motorists with bitterness notice, they say, used in the salons was much quieter...

And, incidentally, bad noise isolation and the harmful effects of noise of different frequencies on humans is difficult to overestimate - they cause a number of diseases with very serious consequences.

The nature of the sounds inside the cabin has a very different origin, as the contribution to the total dissonance can contribute to:

• running on the road surface of the tire;
• the transmission and suspension, giving vibration to the body;
• the roaring motor;
• the General background of the street;
• aerodynamic noise of air flows around car and much more.

The frequency range is very wide - almost the entire perceived range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. In such a cacophony of sounds, we feel a terrible discomfort that prevents us to concentrate on driving, reducing road safety.

Insulation auto: solve the problem

What problems it solves insulation car, we have already thoroughly analysed. But once again - to solve the problem of resonances in the car, seeks suitable tuning cars, in which the noise level is quite possible to reduce by half. And, by the way, this tuning is quite budget procedure: the average price range in Ukraine is around:

• from 1500 thousand UAH for the simplest revision of the car (materials for sound insulation is overlaid in two layers on the doors, rear and front wheel arches, floor);
• up to 5-6 thousand UAH for the modernization of minivans and SUVs (4-5 superimposed insulating layers, including the Luggage compartment, and on the ceiling).

These prices are valid if you book tuning in a dedicated cabin. But, if you buy materials for soundproofing and we have to work on their own (about tuning with his own hands we have written in the section "Useful articles"), such improvement will cost from 400 to 3000 UAH (depending on the class of car and the end result).

As you can see, the savings are substantial, so if there is no money for artists - not despair, but learn to do it yourself. We will try to help You with this so feel free to ask via comments any, related to the theme of the questions that will be responsible masters of our own showrooms.
