How to Lower Engine Noise

Engines make noise. There is a level when the noise is just not comfortable and can make a trip very uncomfortable and unpleasant. Rule out any problems such as low oil pressure, any loose belts or a misfiring sparkplug and then you can set about toning down your noisy engine. Using easy-to-obtain materials and needing no prior auto repair experience you can tone down the noise form your engine and make everyone happier to ride in your car.

Instructions

1

Park the car on level ground and lift the hood. If the car is not level, the fluids inside will not be level.

2

Open the engine fluid reservoir and use the dipstick to check the level. If there is not enough fluid, fill the reservoir to the fill mark. Leave the hood open when you close the reservoir.

3

Start your engine and look through the engine bay for any loose or moving parts. Tighten these components in order to reduce the excessive noise they are causing.

4

Hold the soundproofing material against the underside of the hood and trace the shape of the indentations with a marker. There are usually three or four indented areas under the hood.

5

Cut out the material with scissors and apply the glue to the areas under the hood. Spread the cut-out pieces out onto the glue and press them down into place.

6

Cover the engine bay side of the firewall with the soundproofing material in the same way you did for the hood. The firewall is the wall between the engine compartment and the interior of the door.
