Everyone dreams to own a car in their life time. A car with all luxury amenities attracts buyers. Audio system being one of them is loved by most of the buyers. A good audio system enhances the interiors and makes driving easier.
Since most
car manufacturers do not offer integrated audio system, car buyers often opt for audio kits. These car audio kits sound great because of the dampen effect of sub-woofers.
Dampening effect makes a tremendous difference in the sound quality. After a period of time every system notices a rattle sound caused by sub-woofers. These are because of the vibrations caused by them. When the music is played on a bass mode it sounds irritating. But this can be reduced if one focuses a little on the dampening quality of the audio system. Vibration dampening products are freely available in car aftermarket. There are various ways to fix the rattling noise or vibrations.
First of all identify the spot where the noise is notable. Some of the usual spots where vibrations occurs are speaker grille, road and engine noise that can disrupt smooth flow of music and door panels which can create annoying noise. Vibrations are also noticed in the car cabin in its various parts like the dash plastics.
Fitting the door panels with soft and noise absorbing materials can make the cabin quiet and improve the sound quality. Good door panels can reduce vibration and are available at cheap rates everywhere. Adhesives can be used to make them vibration free. A good insulation will reduce noise from engine and road noise. In fact some of best cars like
Mercedes, BMW and Audi come with thick insulation and sound dampeners which make the cabin quiet and calm.
Rubber is the best insulation for door panels. This help to reduce noise by 90 percent. The rubber panel on windows can act as great sound dampeners. It can actually improve the performance of amplifiers. Sound dampening sheets on the roof and trunk can reduce all the noise created by minor vibrations in the car. The more dampening material is used the better will be the sound effect. Once the sound dampeners are in place the car feels more luxurious. It will make the driving more stress free.
