The Subaru Forester, renowned for its spacious cabin, expansive trunk space, smooth handling, and fuel efficiency, epitomizes comfort and reliability in the SUV segment. Yet, it's not without its minor flaws. Owners have noted that at higher speeds, wind and road noise can become quite intrusive, marring the otherwise serene driving experience. This is where B-Quiet comes into play, offering an effective, affordable solution to this acoustic challenge.
The Ultimate Approach
Our team at B-Quiet, equipped with a Subaru Forester, observed significant noise levels during regular commutes. Determined to enhance the driving experience, we embarked on a project to apply B-Quiet's Premium Ultimate Sound Deadener in critical areas of the vehicle.
Optimal Placement for Maximum Effect
In our Forester, we strategically placed Ultimate in the floors, doors, trunk, and under the hood for optimal noise reduction. Here's a breakdown of our approach:
Floors: We started by removing the carpet and seats, which was a straightforward process. B-Quiet Ultimate, was laid down across the floor, taking about four hours in total. This initial step significantly cut down on the road and mechanical noise.
Doors: Next, we targeted the doors. After removing the interior panels, B-Quiet Ultimate was meticulously applied to all metal surfaces within the door skin, reducing both external and mechanical noise.
Trunk and Hood: Further applications in the trunk and under the hood areas were equally effective, addressing noise from the rear of the vehicle and the engine bay.
Effortless Installation for Maximum Comfort
For the ultimate noise dampening experience, consider B-Quiet's HLiner, it´s a foam-and-foil for the hood and firewall, reducing engine heat and noise.
Recommended Package for the Subaru Forester
For a Subaru Forester, we suggest the SUV Sound Deadening Package, everything you need for DIY proyect.
You can also use our Sound Deadening Calculator to estimate how much coverage your Forester requires.
Final Thoughts
With a modest investment in sound deadening, your Subaru Forester can feel like an entirely different vehicle. Treating the floor, doors, and trunk with Ultimate Sound Deadener and insulating the hood with HLiner will reduce road and wind noise, letting you fully enjoy the comfort and capability the Forester is built for.
