Wind Noise

The design of your car makes a lot of difference. Wind noise is generally high when you are driving at high speeds.

Road Noise

Road noise is a common thing that many of us might have experienced in our cars. This gets annoying when we are driving at high speeds. The reason behind this noise is either the road or the type of tyre that one is using on the car. One of the easiest ways to deal with this problem is to shift from a hard compound tyre to a softer compound tyre with thicker side walls. One must note that the softer compound tyres are more expensive and last lesser than a hard compound tyre.

Installing damping material inside the cabin of the car will also help in bringing down the road noise. The damping must be done on the doors, floor and under the roof liner. Insulation must be done under the bonnet of the car as well. Third solution to reduce the road noise is to spray a coat of rubberised underbody coating. Nowadays, there are several workshops and detailing shops that do such work.

Engine Noise

in comparison to diesel engine cars, petrol cars make less noise at regular speeds. Even they tend to get vocal at higher RPMs. Poorly maintained engines become noisier over time. It is crucial to maintain the health or condition of the engine. Synthetic engine oils are known to make engines smoother and reduce engine vibration and noise. Getting the vehicle inspected from a mechanic time to time is quite important as some of the parts like engine mounts and some components in the transmission tend to have wear and tear over the years. These parts or components must be replaced as well.

Exhaust Noise

With the introduction of new emission norms exhaust in cars have become a lot more silent than before. However, exhaust muffler tends to have minor holes due to rust over the years and this may result in change in the exhaust note. Some people also opt for performance exhaust which is louder than the stock units. If you are looking to make your cabin a quiet place, then it is recommended to not go for such exhausts and the faulty stock exhausts must be repaired or replaced.

Suspension Noise

Suspension of a car is a component that is constantly abused while driving. Over the years, it is quite natural that it might start developing rattles and squeaky noises. Parts like link rod, ball joints, steering ends and shocker bolts need to be serviced at equal intervals. An experienced mechanic can take the suspension system apart and service it properly.

Generic Noises

Over the years, dashboard, parcel tray, door panels and other equipment inside the car start making squeaky noises. It is quite a task to identify the part from where the noise is coming. An experienced mechanic can locate this as well and can help make necessary changes to reduce or completely remove the noise.
