NVH Fabrication

What is NVH Fabrication?

NVH fabrication refers to the manufacture of noise-reducing components, also known in the automotive industry as NVH (Noise and Vibration Harshness) materials. Parts fabricated from NVH materials aim to inhibit and eliminate unwanted sources of noise and vibration in vehicles. NVH components and techniques are often employed outside of the automotive industry as well to reduce the effects of noise and vibration in other manufactured electronic products and machinery. Efforts to reduce NVH center mainly on absorption and insulation.

A variety of materials are used in the fabrication process of NVH parts. Rubber is an ideal resource for NVH fabrication due to its high density, which allows it to easily absorb sound and vibration. Its consistency also causes noise and vibration to evenly distribute across the material. Plastic and foam are also preferred materials used in NVH fabrication. Plastic is excellent at reducing NVH resulting from impacts and bumps, as well as sound transferred through structures and the air. Additionally, foam is cut to form components for NVH applications, such as roof headliners to dampen sound inside vehicle cabins. Foam sheet works well as a material purposed for NVH reduction, especially in cases of possible exposure to harsh conditions and chemicals.

Vehicle buyers’ priorities have rapidly evolved from fuel economy to ride luxury and comfort, making NVH fabrication an increasingly prevalent focus for vehicle manufacturers. As one of the most diversified fabricators in the United States, we at Seal Methods Inc., work hard to provide the widest possible selection of NVH materials to meet the demands of our customers and suppliers.
