A vehicular interior part includes a sound absorbing member including a hole cover section covering a panel-side hole of a panel in which a functional part is to be arranged, a panel cover section covering the panel, slits arranged between the hole cover section and the panel cover section. The slit includes a peripheral extending portion extending along a hole edge of the panel-side hole and a projecting portion extending from an end of the peripheral extending portion toward the panel cover section and a continuous part is between the projection portions of the adjacent slits. The hole cover section is to be torn off from the sound absorbing member at the continuous parts to be separated from the panel cover section and form a hole such that the functional part in the panel-side hole is to be exposed through the panel-side hole and the hole.

A sound insulator for a vehicle cabin pressure relief valve includes a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall. The first wall is configured to inhibit sound from travelling in a lateral direction from the pressure relieve valve to a passenger compartment in the vehicle cabin. The second wall projects from the first wall and is configured to inhibit sound from travelling in a first longitudinal direction from the pressure relieve valve to the passenger compartment. The second wall is oriented at a first angle relative to the first wall. The third wall projects from the first wall and is configured to inhibit sound from travelling in a vertical direction from the pressure relieve valve to the passenger compartment. The third wall is oriented at a second angle relative to the first wall. The first and second angles are adjustable without damaging the sound insulator.

An acoustic protection cover for encapsulating a motor vehicle component, the cover including: a based on injection-molding material, the material comprising a thermoplastic matrix and a filler that is dispersed in such a way as to exhibit a density of between 1.3 and 1.6, the shell comprising two half-shells delimited by a thin region originating from the molding and forming a flexible hinge; a layer of elastically compressible foam overmolding the internal face of the shell, so that the cover forms an insulation system of the mass-spring type, the mass being formed by the shell and the spring by the layer; a means of holding the half-shells together once the hinge has been folded, so as to allow the component to be encapsulated, the matrix being made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and the level of filling being less than or equal to 50% by mass of the material.

Provided is a vehicle wheel capable of improving sound deadening property by increasing a capacity of an auxiliary air chamber member without impairing an assembling property of a tire. An upper surface portion of a width-direction cross-section of an auxiliary air chamber member includes a first side wall portion and a second side wall portion which extend radially outwardly. The upper surface portion further includes a curved portion having a convex shape. The curved portion is connected to the first side wall portion and the second side wall portion at connection points. As a result, the curved portion is configured to have a convex shape projecting outwardly in a radial direction.

A semi-rigid panel of foam insulation is secured transversely between the front fenders and certain body structures of a motor vehicle at several locations. Specifically, the insulation is located and secured to the fender by a retainer or clip having a channel that receives the insulation panel; the panel includes projections or lugs that are complementary to and seat within with frame or body member openings, ribs or other features; is secured within an integrated bracket or holder in the upper plenum having a slot or channel having a width equal to the thickness of the insulation; and includes a hook or lip that is received within an air inlet of the heating and air conditioning system of the vehicle.

Disclosed herein is an engine compartment soundproof cover device of a cab-over truck. The engine compartment soundproof cover device includes a soundproof cover, side covers, and a plurality of expandable connectors. The soundproof cover is installed below a cab in which a driver is seated and is configured to cover an upper portion of an engine compartment. The side covers are installed on chassis frames of both sides of the engine compartment and configured to come into contact with a lower end of the soundproof cover to seal both sides of the engine compartment. The plurality of expandable connecters is configured to connect the soundproof cover to a lower portion of the cab and capable of expanding toward the side covers to allow the lower end of the soundproof cover to be pressed against the side covers.

A moulded trim part for a vehicle, comprising at least one open cell polyurethane foam layer and wherein the trim part further comprises at least one tape consisting of continuous mineral filaments aligned substantially unidirectional and extending longitudinal parallel to the main direction of the at least one tape and wherein the continuous filaments are embedded in a thermoplastic polymer matrix and wherein the at least one tape abuts against and is laminated to at least one surface of the at least one open cell polyurethane foam layer.

A wheel resonator for reducing a resonance phenomenon inside a tire of a vehicle may include a plurality of wheel resonators mounted to a tire wheel. First and second wheel resonators of the plurality of wheel resonators are fixed with each other by a fastening part including a protrusion disposed on an end of the first wheel resonator penetrating through a hole disposed in an end of the second wheel resonator. An end portion of the protrusion has a size greater than a size of the hole. As such, quality of a wheel through more reliable noise reduction by making a wheel resonator in a manner of forming a fitting type fastening part in the wheel resonator itself and fixing the wheel resonator by ultrasonic welding can be improved.

An apparatus is for use with a pillar adjacent to a vehicle window, such as a windshield. The apparatus includes a molding for positioning adjacent to the pillar, the molding forming a channel in a deployed condition for receiving moisture from the vehicle windshield, or for reducing the effects of wind throb when a single vehicle window is open. An actuator may be associated with the molding for activating a non-deployed condition of the molding for reducing the effects of wind noise.

A vehicle includes: an electric device; a left front seat and a right front seat; and a center console which is disposed between the left front seat and the right front seat, and which accommodates the electric device. A sheet-like soundproofing member is disposed between an upper surface of the electric device and the center console.
