Do you hear the rattling sound?
December 10, 2007
Your powerful audio system will give you stunning experience. At the same time, your car body may start making a rattling sound that competes with your audio peaks. Usually this happens, if your car body is not made of a material that absorbs sound waves. Most of the new cars are made of strong body, unlike the older models. Hence, the rattling sound is uncommon in new cars, unless your audio system is very powerful. If you observe the noise and rattling sound at peaks, consider going for an acoustical treatment to your car. There are many damping materials that absorb the audio vibrations, preventing them to reflect & cause reverberations. They are popularly called as Dynamat, a brand name that has become very popular for damping materials.
Before you go in for a damping material, identify the trouble spots where there are lots of annoying vibrations. Just a door kit from Dynamat can reduce the resonance around the speakers and make them sound better. If there is a lot of noise, consider applying a vibration damper.
Products like Dynamat, HushMat and B-Quiet are made to absorb vibrations and noises, giving you a reduction in distracting sounds. Using Dynamat to quiet vibrations can reduce your car’s noise by at least 3 dB, which is like virtually doubling your amplifier’s power rating in terms of gaining musical clarity and definition.
Dynamat sheets are easy to apply; just peel and stick.
