Rear trunk soundproofing
Tesla Model 3

Soundproof an air sound for a more subdued electric automobile

The automobiles of the future are being made relatively quickly in Palo Alto. The orders were such that many details were forgotten, or simply underestimated.

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

There are a few tricks on early Model 3s, such as the felt cushion used to adjust the front wheel arch, which can absorb air buildup at high speeds, helping to prevent these disturbances.

Of course, this is not trivial.

Seals for Tesla Model 3

This is the most requested accessory to attenuate outside noise, it is also the most effective.

The double effect of this kit is to prevent the deposit of dirt between the openings, you know that place between the cabin and the bodywork that no one thinks to clean.

Felt-based modifications, a response 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 brand's latest electric SUV, and the new owners who take everything apart to check what has been changed (we've never seen such fanatics at any other brand).

What is important in this analysis is that the slightest problems with the car will be immediately brought to light and that tuners such as Model-Sport will promote the necessary elements to fix the problem.

And besides, we often find the improvements made by the accessories manufacturers later integrated directly into the vehicle. We will take as an example the soundproofing of wheel arches, first marketed by accessories manufacturers before being adopted by Tesla.

Sound Insulation Accessories Catalog

We have added all accessories relevant to the sound insulation of a specific Model. Most of the accessories brought to our store are complementary, especially in terms of the sound emitted.

Of all our products put online, the number 1 to make outside sounds disappear is the sound deadening seal kit.

The real test is without appeal, because we notice it not only by ear, but also with our sound level meter which indicates a few decibels less.

The other sound insulation modifications are also effective, especially in the front wheel arches, by having several felt / fiber / wool parts to feel the difference. Moreover, this synthesis of several materials can greatly attenuate the frequency of external sounds, much more than any other composition.

Changing tires

To tell you that the soundproofing paradoxically makes noise in the Tesla environment, it has chosen to carry out adaptations and tests that have never been seen before. This lack of soundproofing has actually caused so much debate in the United States that the manufacturer Tesla has made unexpected optimizations.

We are talking about this famous layer of foam that covers the central part inside the tire.A test, not really conclusive, because customers who changed their tires did not hear any difference.

Some electric car customers believe that the brand and composition of the tires will dampen the sounds they produce. True, but in most 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. And it is supposed on an electric car that the smallest external waves are perceived while driving.
