Acoustics and Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Managing sound in a changing world
Exploring New Experiences in Sound
-
As vehicles become quieter, sound – inside and out – is another evolving challenge that your automotive designs must capture and address. 3M is here to help you navigate the changing path of sound in vehicles as motors are replaced with quieter electric powertrains. Our acoustic insulation, adhesives, fasteners and other materials help prevent NVH throughout design and manufacturing. But we also help you explore the science of sound. Our world-class research and testing facilities provide opportunities for collaboration and experimentation in the quality and management of sound itself – effectively answering important questions about what the passengers of tomorrow will hear in and around their vehicles.
Sound Solutions
Explore 3M solutions for sound management, including NVH prevention, throughout the automotive design and manufacturing process.
-
Structural adhesives and vibration control tapes are just the start to how 3M can help you eliminate NVH. At our own dedicated facilities, we continue testing and developing new damping solutions for body-in-white and beyond, helping shape the future of vehicle sound from design through manufacturing. -
Reduce noise in wheel wells, fascia, roof panels and more with 3M solutions. Insulation, 3M™ Glass Bubbles and damping materials are ideal for electrified and autonomous vehicles. Our range of 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes can deliver versatile, viscoelastic bonding of dissimilar or hard-to-bond paint systems all across the vehicle exterior. -
A few keys to effective NVH management are advanced materials such as 3M™ Glass Bubbles, our proven, trusted 3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation and our continued work in damping materials. We also provide lightweight adhesives – a core technology of 3M for decades – such as liquid adhesives or tapes for effective gap filling. -
Through acoustic insulation and absorbers, 3M™ Glass Bubbles and a curious, collaborative culture, 3M helps you navigate a new and expanding world of NVH management. We invite you to explore with us as electrified and autonomous vehicles become lighter and quieter – and their occupants become more discerning.
