A sound-absorbing material for vehicles that is mounted to a vehicle interior and that is provided with a main body in which at least a fibrous material and a skin material are integrally molded. The sound-absorbing material for vehicles is characterized in that a sound-absorbing section provided to at least part of the main body is formed so as to be mounted to the vehicle interior within a range in which the vertical distance Elh from the lower surface of the head rests of the front seats downward is 0.1-0.4 m, and in that the air flow resistance AFR (Ns/m.sup.3) and the vertical distance Elh (m) satisfy 210<AFR+10/Elh<3020.

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.

An assembly includes a panel member and an acoustic sink member. The panel member has a panel edge, and first and second long axes defining a plane. The panel member has a first material composition. The acoustic sink member has a body with a periphery which is coupled to the panel edge. The body has a second material composition, which is distinct from the first material composition. An acoustic impedance of the sink member at the periphery is equal to an acoustic impedance of the panel member at the panel edge, and the body has a cross-sectional profile defined by a power law

To improve a view of a side area from a cabin, the cabin mounted on a machine body includes a hollow rear pillar located on a rear portion of a side surface of the cabin. The rear pillar includes an interior opening through which an interior of the rear pillar is communicated with an interior of the cabin, and an exterior opening through which the interior of the rear pillar is communicated with an exterior of the cabin.

A sound management system for a vehicle is provided. The sound management system includes a vehicle window coupled to a vehicle body. The vehicle body defines an interior space of the vehicle. The sound management system also includes a laminate disposed on the vehicle window. The laminate is configured to reduce noise in the interior space of the vehicle.

An object of the present invention is to provide a sound-blocking sheet member that is relatively lightweight, has high sound-blocking performance overwhelming the law of mass action, and is excellent in terms of manufacturability and durability. The sound-blocking sheet member includes at least a sheet and a plurality of resonance portions. The resonance portion is provided in contact with a sheet surface of the sheet, and the resonance portion includes a weight portion and a base portion. The weight portion is supported by the base portion and has a larger mass than the base portion, and the weight portion has a penetration portion. The base portion is in contact with a surface on a resonance portion front end side of the weight portion and covers the weight portion.

A sound-insulation material for a vehicle has high rigidity and is capable of exhibiting sufficient sound insulation performance against noise having a frequency of 500 Hz to 5000 Hz generated in a vehicle, while maintaining low weight. The sound-insulation material for a vehicle of the present invention has a multilayer structure, the material including: a hard layer having tubular cells, the tubular cells being arranged in a plurality of rows; and a soft layer provided on one surface of the hard layer, in which a ratio of a dynamic spring constant Kd to a static spring constant Ks, of a structure having the hard layer and the soft layer, is 0<Kd/Ks≤1.5.

Disclosed are, inter alia, a sound absorption and insulation material including a polyester hollow fiber, a polyester low-melting-point composite fiber and a polyester base fiber, a sound absorption and insulation pad for a floor including the same, and a manufacturing method thereof for improving the elasticity and sound absorption and insulation performance of the sound absorption and insulation material. The sound absorption and insulation material is an environmentally friendly material that can reduce discomfort due to the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the emission of toxic gases during combustion. Also, the sound absorption and insulation pad including the sound absorption and insulation material can exhibit superior sound absorption performance, sound insulation performance and actual vehicle performance compared to a conventional sound absorption and insulation pad of the same thickness.

A hollow chamber blocking tool includes: a first blocking tool having a first foamable base material on a first holder plate; and a second blocking tool having a second foamable base material on a second holder plate. The first blocking tool includes a steel plate fixing portion locked to a steel plate. The second blocking tool includes an integrated portion locked to the steel plate fixing portion. The second holder plate includes a rotating portion rotatably connected to the first blocking tool.

An operator cab for a work vehicle includes: a cab enclosure including a roof an operator chair disposed in the cab enclosure; at least one layer of noise-deadening material coupled to the roof; and a headliner coupled to the roof such that the at least one layer of noise-deadening material is at least partially disposed between the headliner and the roof. The headliner includes a noise-reflective material and a noise escape region that comprises at least one opening configured to allow sound waves to pass through the noise escape region into the at least one layer of noise-deadening material and reduce noise reflection by the headliner to the operator chair.
