Does undercoating on cars help quiet road noise?

Question

I have a Ford Escape and the road noise can be deafening...looking for a solutions.

Answer 1

Definitely, that undercoating acts as an insulator, a rust proof-er, and it deadens road noise. Rust proofing inside the doors, wheel-wells, trunk and hood are also helpful in eliminating road noise and minimizing the potential for rust in areas that are most prone. Many vehicles sold get a manufactures rust proof but by opting for the up-graded package quiets the automobile immensely.

Answer 2

Undercoating is provided for corrosion protection.
Most high end vehicles have a inner body foam spray coating to reduce noise.
The new Ford F series trucks now have this coating.
About your Escape, I say turn up your stereo!
Sorry I can't help out more with the Escape.
Good Luck

Answer 3

Not enough that it would warrant the cost..unless you want the protection from road salt.

Good shocks & springs & a nice interior carpet with thick rubber floor mats will also greatly cut down on road noise.

Avoiding bumpy, dirt or gravel roads & traveling only on well paved maintained roads is a sure fire way to cut out excess road noise too, but what fun would that be! lol

Answer 4

Undercoating makes money for the party doing the undercoating. Fairly recent motor vehicles don't need it. It is a waste of money

Answer 5

It may help, some.

Have you rotated your tires lately? Worn tires can create a lot of noise due to uneven wear.

Good luck....
