NVH and BSR: Managing acoustics for more complete auto interiors

Ask A 3M Expert

A New Understanding of Interior Sound

For decades, 3M products such as film tapes and adhesive transfer tapes have helped OEMs and tier suppliers eliminate buzz, squeak and rattle (BSR) issues early in the design process. Our 3M™ Thinsulate™ thermal acoustic solutions have helped manage noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) inside vehicle cabins to meet burgeoning trends such as electrification and autonomous driving. Our solutions are backed by world-class testing facilities using the latest technologies to visualize acoustic and thermal measurement and management. 3M is literally looking at sound in a whole different way.
