Long life

Automotive car manufacturers are


facing increasing expectations from
customers for driving comfort as well
as requirements in weight and cost
reduction. These requirements make
testing, modelling and optimization
of sound package design an
emerging challenge to NVH
Engineers.

The sound package materials like,


Dash Panel
Carpet Assembly
Seats
Headliner
Package Tray
Hood Liner
Melt Sheet Can Be Used As Absorbers, Barrier
And As Damping Treatments To Reduce
Vibrations.
