Soundproofing wheel wells in cars – effectively reducing road noise and vibrations
Soundproofing wheel wells in cars is one of the most effective measures for reducing road noise. Tire noise, stone chips, and vibrations from the road surface are conducted directly into the body via the wheel wells and affect the noise level in the passenger compartment. Soundproofing the wheel wells reduces both structure-borne noise and airborne noise, resulting in a significantly quieter and more comfortable driving experience.
Advantages of soundproofing wheel arches in cars
Less road noise
Soundproofing the wheel arches reduces tire noise and noise from rough asphalt and uneven road surfaces.
Reduced vibrations
Vibration damping in the wheel wells reduces resonances that would otherwise spread throughout the body.
Improved sound environment in the passenger compartment
A quieter sound from the wheel arches provides a more peaceful overall experience in the car.
Reduced fatigue
Lower noise levels contribute to better concentration on both short and long journeys.
Higher perceived quality
A car with dampened wheel arches is perceived as more solid and well-built.
More stable body
Reduced vibrations give a more stable feeling in the car and fewer noises.
Areas of application for sound insulation in car wheel arches
Inner wheel wells
Damping of sheet metal surfaces that otherwise act as resonance chambers for tire noise.
Rear wheel wells
Reduces noise that spreads from the rear into the passenger compartment.
Front wheel arches
Reduces noise transmitted to the floor and firewall.
Adjacent body surfaces
Stabilization of surfaces around the wheel arches to reduce vibrations.
Interior surfaces
Prevents plastic panels and trim from vibrating against the sheet metal.
Flexible solutions adapted for the car's wheel arches
SilentDirect's products are designed to work effectively in the exposed environment of wheel arches:
Vibration-damping materials
SilentDirect Polaric and SilentDirect Neo are used directly against the sheet metal to reduce structure-borne noise.
Sound-absorbing materials
SilentDirect Egg is used in enclosed spaces adjacent to the wheel arches where sound would otherwise be amplified.
Sound insulation against airborne noise
SilentDirect MLV can be used in adjacent floor areas to reduce airborne tire noise.
Sealing and vibration control
SilentDirect Seal is used to seal and stabilize interior details around the wheel arches.
