A sound-absorbing material attached to a vehicle exterior member which comprises an intermediate layer having a fiber web of entangled thermoplastic synthetic fibers, and a skin layer having a nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic synthetic fibers, the layers being laminated with each other. A peripheral edge portion is heat-compressed in a state where the intermediate layer and the skin layer are layered. A crimped portion is heat-compressed in the thickness direction. A plurality of the crimped portions are provided on at least a part of the surface of the intermediate layer laminated with the skin layer and positioned within the peripheral edge portion. A sound-absorbing portion is a portion in which the intermediate layer and the skin layer are laminated in a state where the fiber web is compressed thinner than its natural thickness by the crimped portions.

A sound isolation device includes at least one degenerate acoustic scatterer having a plurality of channels. The plurality of channels may include three or more channels. The channels have an open end and a terminal end, wherein the terminal ends of the channels are separate from one another. The at least one degenerate acoustic scatterer has an acoustic monopole response and an acoustic dipole response that have a substantially similar resonant frequency.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle roof and a headliner supported by the vehicle roof. The assembly includes an energy absorber between the headliner and the vehicle roof. The energy absorber includes a wall extending transversely to the headliner and the vehicle roof. The wall includes a lattice structure including a repeating pattern of strips and open cells.

A method of manufacturing a component includes additively manufacturing (AM) a plurality of interior layers of the component and AM at least one anti-bump, squeak, rattle (BSR) layer of the component such that the at least one anti-BSR layer reduces BSR acoustic noise compared to the plurality of interior layers. The at least one anti-BSR layer can be a plurality of anti-BSR layers and the plurality of anti-BSR layers includes a BSR property that is different than a corresponding BSR property of the plurality of interior layers.

A vehicle roof lining includes a roof lining, a rail structure, a multifunction plate, and sleds. The rail structure is provided on both side edges of the roof lining. The multifunction plate is provided on the roof lining, with one edge of the multifunction plate being movable along the rail structure. The sleds are movable along inner portions of the rail structure and are fastened with one edge of the multifunction plate.

A vehicle floor silencer includes at least one first wall, at least one second wall positioned opposite the first wall, and at least one floor extending between the at least one first wall and the at least one second wall. The at least one first wall, the at least one second wall, and the at least one floor combine to define a receptacle structured to open in an upward direction and to receive a wire harness therein after the floor silencer has been positioned on the floor of the vehicle.

Noise caused by vibration of a door hole seal is reduced. A door hole seal includes a first sheet having a slit formed therein and a second sheet covering the slit from an exterior side of a vehicle. At least a specific region of the second sheet is made of a rubber-like elastic body, the specific region extending from a portion corresponding to the slit to a vertically lower end of the second sheet.
