Front bonnet soundproofing
Tesla Model 3

Eliminating rolling sound for an even quieter electric car

Automobiles of the future are being produced relatively quickly in California. The solicitation was such that many details were forgotten, or simply underestimated.

Some parts of the body give extraneous sounds after a certain speed, such as whistling or vibration.

Modifications are necessary on the first Model 3, such as the felt to wedge the front wheel arches, which receive an abundance of air at high speed, and thus make it possible to avoid these parasitic vibrations.

Of course, this is not a generality

The attached kit for Tesla Model 3

We simply consider this to be the first thing to do to block out external noise as much as possible. Their location is designed to drastically change the perception of sounds.

In addition, this kit removes the build-up of dirt found on most automobiles. We're talking about those body parts that are between the interior and the exterior body that the majority of drivers forget to clean!

Felt-based accessories, a resolution adopted by Tesla

Moreover, it is clearly evident that the American brand inquires about the recommendations issued by Tesla drivers to improve their product in the long term.

Just look at the latest addition to the brand, and the new customer who dismantles everything to check what has been changed (we have never seen such a fanatic at any other brand).

What is interesting in this analysis is that the improvements to be made come out directly, and preparers such as Model-Sport immediately market the essential modifications to improve these various negative points.

So we can later find these elements integrated immediately on new cars by the Tesla brand, such as the soundproofing of the wheel arches.

Sound Insulation Accessories Catalog

We've added all the stuff relevant to the soundproofing of a specific Model. Most of the elements brought to our store are complementary, especially in terms of the sound emitted.

Of all our products listed, the number 1 in external sound suppression effectiveness is the Sound Deadening Gasket Kit.

The real test is definitive, because we not only noticed it in the ears, but also on our sound level meters, which tell us that a few decibels are missing compared to the previous measurements.

The other soundproofing modifications are also obviously effective, especially in the front wheel arches, but we advise to arrange the installation of several of these panels in felt / fiber / wool composition to feel the difference. Moreover, this composition of several materials makes it possible to greatly attenuate the frequency of external sounds, much more than any other synthesis.

Changing tires

To tell you that sound insulation has paradoxically made noise in the Tesla environment, the latter has chosen to carry out adaptations and tests that have never been seen before, but which are defensible to a certain extent.

This is the thickness of the foam inside the tires. A test not really convincing, because the owners who replaced the tires did not hear a difference.

Some car customers think that the brand and composition of tires will change the sounds they make. True, but in the vast majority of cases it is not noticeable.

Even if this point is relatively pointed out on the Model 3, keep in mind that the tires are the biggest source of noise between 50 and 120 km/h. It is usual on a nuclear car for the slightest exterior noise to be heard inside.
