 Quiet is a necessity in modern trucking. The difference in noise level between a low-end old truck (> 10 years old) and a new, high-end truck is as much as 30 dBA at highway speeds. Most new trucks have standard sound packages. On the high-end trucks, that could include laminated glass and steel. On most trucks, the sound package includes mats, pads and undercoating.
Using a new generation of viscoelastic polymers, it is now possible to achieve luxury truck levels of quiet with a fraction of the bulk, weight and cost of traditional technologies. In the United States alone over 15 million new cars and light trucks are sold each year. Over 1 million more heavy-duty multi-axle trucks were sold for freight or transportation purposes. Every one of these vehicles currently has some product for controlling road and engine noise. Federal government EPA and CAFÉ goals force truck manufacturers to find lightweight noise control material.
Damping noise and vibration has traditionally been costly and risky – until now. Quiet Solution offers the truck industry a complete line of high-performance products to soundproof all types of trucks and the associated buildings and machinery. Using a new generation of viscoelastic polymers, it is now possible to achieve luxury levels of quiet with a fraction of the bulk, weight and cost of traditional technologies.
The most effective way to mitigate interior noise and vibration is to coat as much of the passenger cab as possible with QuietTruck viscoelastic polymer.
