Objective:
Research for potential material which could be used in MSXIV to reduce noise.
...
- Where in the car could generate loud sound?
- Rationale: To figure out where we should use noise cancellation; understand limitations in space and shape.
- What materials are used in car industry?
- Rationale: To figure out the safest way which is modifying existing products in the industry.
- What materials are used in the architecture industry?
- Rationals: To find a way which may be missed by the normal car industry
- Research on MSXIV
- Understanding if the material is practical
- Validation
- Conventional noise-canceling methods include thick insulation or specialized tires to minimize noise from driving over rough roads or uneven pavement. But these fixes can increase vehicle weight and drive down fuel efficiency.https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/9/18175748/bose-noise-canceling-system-car-ces-2019

better aerodynamics; Wind is directed away from the front wipers, resulting in less annoying “whirring” sounds that could enter the cabin.
2020 Lincoln Navigator:
...
laminated front and side glass&active noise cancellation
2019 Honda Odyssey: acoustic spray foam
2019 Honda CR-V: triple-sealed doors, sealed-off pillars, extra insulation in the doors, and an acoustic sealed underbody; mirrors.
Buick Enclave: acoustic laminated glass, and a special noise-reducing suspension setup.
Things can be used to reduce noise:
Wind: Aerodynamic; acoustic laminated glass
Tires:triple-sealed doors; side glass
Sealed-off pillars
