Bus Acoustic Solutions

While city and school buses, motor coaches, trolleys, and shuttle buses are indispensable for urban transportation, they encounter various noise, vibration, and temperature challenges during operation.

Improve ride quality

Engine rumble from buses and motor coaches can be particularly pronounced, especially during acceleration and deceleration in stop-and-go traffic, and air turbulence caused by crosswinds can affect passenger comfort and overall ride quality.

Improved passenger comfort

Road and engine noise are not the only irritants to the occupants of buses and coaches.  Decisions also need to be made regarding thermal management materials for passenger comfort that meet strict industry fire and smoke standards.

Acoustic solutions from the inside out for buses

Enhance passenger comfort, improve vehicle performance, and uphold the highest standards of safety and satisfaction in urban transportation with our products and services.
