The automotive acoustics arena is rich with application opportunities for carbon neutral or climate positive parts. The design of potential “green” NVH solutions however cannot compromise the intended acoustical performance of the vehicles. This paper investigates the acoustical needs of OEM vehicles with an emphasis to apply green solutions. The acoustic solutions proposal in this paper compares and contrasts barrier densities, sealing characteristics between traditional and carbon neutral acoustical barriers. It also compares important material properties. Furthermore, these comparisons demonstrate that vehicular acoustic performance need not be compromised as the industry moves towards more climate friendly initiatives. Lastly, the paper identifies an ideal application for planet friendly, carbon neutral NVH solutions. This is accomplished by using acoustical barrier applications that are production ready and commercially available today. None of these carbon neutral NVH solutions alter the anticipated acoustical performance of the target vehicle in a negative manner.
