We all love comfort. Moreover, over time, he began to follow us on our heels, and even public transport now boasts amazing smoothness, speed and silence. We get used to and begin not to endure noise, shaking, vibrations. When the first automobile was invented, Henry Ford planned it solely as a means of transport, that is, it was needed only to get from one point to another. Then no one even thought about comfort.

Now, the purpose of cars remains the same, only the requirements for silence and smoothness have seriously increased. In order to increase them, interior soundproofing was invented. It is difficult to say which company first applied it, since all brands developed in approximately the same way. They sought to refine the engine, gearbox, suspension, but nothing creates silence like cabin soundproofing. The fact is that in traditional cars the power unit is located directly in front, in front of the passenger compartment, which transmits noise from it. So, the partition separating the passenger compartment from the engine compartment began to get off with thick material, at first it was a simple cotton-based fabric.

Then, the interior sound insulation became a special fiber, which, due to its softness, absorbed vibrations and noise. And the latter, as you know, is a consequence of the former. Then the manufacturers thought: “Why can’t the interior soundproofing be located outside it?” After that, the anti-corrosion coating began to be made on the basis of mastic, which does not harden at all. She hides quite a lot of noise from the outside, everything else is left to the share of the inside.

She has undergone a serious evolution. Now it is called viboroshumohydroisolation. From such an intricate name, it is easy to guess that it consists of several layers, each of which has its own purpose. In addition, the “spectrum” of repayment has also changed. Now even the strongest blows in the bottom of the car will be barely audible for the driver, but all this is only available for new cars.

And what to do if the manufacturer has deprived your iron horse of such a "luxury". The answer is simple - installing soundproofing will help. As a rule, such a service is included in the list of almost all car services, you just have to decide who to entrust such an important job to. Here, preference should be given to companies that specialize exclusively in soundproofing. Then there will be no problems with finding the material, and the cut and fit will be reliable and accurate, which means they will be of high quality. The cost of soundproofing, as a rule, varies from 7 to 15 thousand rubles. This is a small price to pay for the comfort it can provide. Lots ofmodern cars have nothing to reproach, except for the noise in the cabin, and so, after such an operation, they will have no flaws at all, and trips to them will be more enjoyable than before. It's worth it when commuting turns into driving pleasure. Of course, roads, traffic jams and other unpleasant moments are another story, but there are none on the highway.
