Noise hood with his hands

If we ask someone what the hood insulation is for and how to make it, we will get a simple answer - "to keep it quiet, you need to close everything up." And how to do it correctly, how a parasitic sound appears, how to get rid of it at the root - we will tell in our article.

First, the hood is the part of the car body above the engine compartment, that is, the part that is exposed to strong vibration and heat from the engine.

Secondly, the hood has a large area of bare metal, which, after being exposed to vibration from the motor, amplifies the sound in its resonance frequency. By ear, this is a low hum.

Why do you need vibration, heat and noise insulation of the hood?

1. Having performed a full range of works on soundproofing the hood and observing all the features of the technology , your car will keep a stable temperature in winter and summer. That is, in winter it will become noticeably better to warm up, since the heat will stay in the motor longer. And in the summer - such a simple procedure will save your car from overheating.
2. The sound coming from the engine will become more muffled and people around you will no longer hear the "growl" that is filling their ears. In addition, parasitic sounds, which amplified the sound of the motor, - bounce, buzz, will disappear.
3. The interior will become quieter, even though the car is not completely soundproofed.

How much will the hood insulation cost and what materials are needed?

To create the correct "Shumka" hood, we need several sheets of Shumoff M2 4-5 sheets and 2-3 sheets of Shumoff P8 spleen . You can see the prices for them and the method of installation in our online store. We glue M2 on the bare metal at once (it is not necessary to glue on the ribs of the hood). On top of this we glue the P8 splen into a continuous layer.

That’s it, the bonnet soundproofing process is over, enjoy the ride.
