Sound Solutions for Automotive NVH
As the future of automotive design continues to evolve, sound – in volume and quality – becomes as important as appearance and functionality. At 3M, we have spent decades helping effectively managing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in your automotive designs without adding weight. And our solutions have never been stronger. Through our Thinsulate™ brand we continue improving sound insulation and absorption nearly anywhere on the vehicle, including engine-side and other high-temperature applications. Our 3M™ Thinsulate™ High Temperature Acoustic Absorber HT Series can be molded into barrier solutions for firewalls and engine-side applications. And our 3M™ Engineered Damping Material EDM1000 Series is cleaner, easier to apply and delivers comparable performance to traditional constrained layer damping material, at half the weight. If this sounds good to you, we invite you to hear more. Explore now.
The Sound of Great Design
3M packs a lot of performance into each of our acoustic management solutions, while also keeping them very light. We can help you optimize the NVH package to minimize part size and cost. That means you can use them in many more places on the vehicle without adding weight. Here is a quick guide to which 3M solutions work best, wherever on the vehicle you’re working.

A true advancement in in managing automotive NVH: our 3M Engineering Damping Material features low-density engineered stem web construction that optimizes damping performance, allowing for equal performance from smaller parts. It is half the weight of comparable CLD materials across the same area. Our adhesive-backed material won’t delaminate even at high temperatures. It is an excellent choice for vertical and overhead applications such as roofs and doors, as well as trunks, floors, rear wheel arches, spare tire areas and other irregular surfaces. Learn more:
