Vehicles are faced with a variety of airborne and structure-borne noise sources, such as: wind, road, tire, engine and powertrain. To minimize the noise intrusion into the passenger compartment, a system level approach must be taken. This system level approach requires a focused effort to minimize noise at the primary sources and also an engineering initiative to desensitize the transfer paths through proper body design, sealing and the implementation of noise control materials. This article looks at different innovative materials applied to the body structure, their design and their ...
