    Efficient noise dampening in cars: how acoustic nonwovens enhance the level of comfort in the (e-)mobility

    In a sustainable future, (electric) mobility is at the center of interest. In addition to environmentally friendly drive systems, the ride comfort is crucial for the acceptance of these technologies. Considering ride comfort, efficient noise insulation in cars is a key aspect. Modern nonwoven insulation materials significantly contribute to a reduction of road noise and ensure a pleasant driving experience.

    The significance of noise dampening in EVs

    EVs lack the typical sound of combustion engines, making other sources of noise such as tires, wind, or the operating noises of auxiliary units more audible. Therefore, effective noise dampening is indispensable to optimize the interior acoustics and enhance the comfort of driving.

      Nonwovens as the key element of noise insulation

      Given their flexible structure and superb insulating properties, nonwovens are an ideal material in car acoustics. They are light-weight and adaptive and can be applied in various parts of the car to effectively absorb noise.

      Varied applications of acoustic nonwoven in cars

      Acoustic nonwoven finds a multitude of applications in cars:

      • Engine compartment: reducing the noise from the engine and auxiliary units

      • Interior panels and liners: minimization of road and wind noises

      • Flooring: deadening of vibrations and road noise

      • Boot: prevent resonances and vibrations.

       

      The purposeful use of acoustic nonwoven results in a significant improvement in acoustics and comfort.
