Ford Fiesta: Cars With Best Cabin Silence

Ford one of the most quiet cabin is a Ford Fiesta. Ford Fiesta has a calm, although exposed to wind or rough road surfaces or damaged, in a comparison test conducted Ford engineers, compared to C-segment car though.


The silence of the cabin space is more important today for about 80 percent of consumers, making the producers were vying to design the cabin of vehicles made sesenyap possible.
"The customer connects a quiet cabin with quality vehicles, and we know it," said Group Vice President, Global Product Development, Derrick Kuzak.

The process for designing a quiet cabin vehicles, starting with raising certain parts of the vehicle, such as engine mounting, and the rear suspension to reduce excessive vibration.

Then the material, by extending the foam element also placed on the door, especially at the pillars, which turned out to silence the voice up to 20 percent.

In addition, the outer layer and in the dashboard, floor mats that absorb sound, as well as other extra baggage and the ceiling, so that the sound in the cabin can be more effectively suppressed. Ford's key to success in the silence of the cabin is the reverse cover the gap of air flow with the use of sophisticated virtual reality tools that can identify and eliminate unwanted sounds.


Thus, Ford was the first car in North America using a new tool called "Noise Vision," which allows the engineers to actually mute during vehicle development.

Noise Vision is a small ball placed in the cab of the vehicle, equipped with more than 30 microphones are very sensitive and specific cameras 12, so as to identify cabin noise.
"The key is a world-class serenity to determine the source and location of any sound that is not desirable, no matter how subtle it was," said Bill Ford engineers Gulker.
