<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The automotive acoustics arena is rich with application opportunities for carbon neutral or climate positive parts. The design of potential “green” NVH solutions however cannot compromise the intended acoustical performance of the vehicles. This paper investigates the acoustical needs of OEM vehicles with an emphasis to apply green solutions. The acoustic solutions proposal in this paper compares and contrasts barrier densities, sealing characteristics between traditional and carbon neutral acoustical barriers. It also compares important material properties. Furthermore, these comparisons demonstrate that vehicular acoustic performance need not be compromised as the industry moves towards more climate friendly initiatives. Lastly, the paper identifies an ideal application for planet friendly, carbon neutral NVH solutions. This is accomplished by using acoustical barrier applications that are production ready and commercially available today. None of these carbon neutral NVH solutions alter the anticipated acoustical performance of the target vehicle in a negative manner.</div></div>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
