Sound insulation of truck wheel housings – reducing tire noise and vibrations
The wheel housings in a truck are one of the biggest sources of road noise and vibrations in the cab. This is where powerful structure-borne noise from tires, road surfaces, and wheel suspension occurs, especially with heavy loads and long distances. Soundproofing the wheel housings reduces both noise and resonance that would otherwise be transmitted into the cab. The result is a noticeably quieter and more controlled driving environment.
Advantages of soundproofing wheel housings in trucks
Significantly reduced tire noise
Sound insulation dampens noise generated by contact between tires and road.
Less vibration in the body
Vibration damping reduces structure-borne noise that is transmitted via the wheel housings.
Quieter cab
Less noise contributes to a more comfortable working environment.
Reduced driver fatigue
Lower noise levels improve concentration and endurance.
More stable wheel housing construction
Damping reduces resonance and rattling from sheet metal and fastenings.
Improved perceived quality
A quieter truck is perceived as more solid and professional.
Areas of application for sound insulation in truck wheel arches
Interior wheel arches
Damping of sound that would otherwise be conducted directly into the cab.
Wheel wells against the floor
Reduces the transmission of vibrations to the floor structure.
Rear wheel arches near the cab wall
Reduces noise transmitted via the side surfaces of the body.
Wheel housings near seats
Contributes to a more stable and quieter seating environment.
Transitions between wheel arches and body
Limits sound leakage and resonance in connections.
