Abstract

Passenger cars differ in their levels of emitted noise and mileage, which can have a negative impact on the environment and humans. This was confirmed by the results of this study on the noise levels generated by passenger cars that have the same parameters, or are of one type. The loudest place in the tested vehicles turned out to be the combustion engine compartment, with the average noise level exceeding 90 dB and exhibiting a noticeable, significant increase alongside an increase in the mileage of the vehicles. This value of noise intensity is classified as dangerous for the human body. As a result of the conducted tests, it can be concluded that an engine cover is an important element in damping the sounds emitted by an internal combustion engine after the use of an aluminum heat shield to increase noise absorption. In the future, the environmental problem of noise emission from cars can be solved by encouraging the use of quieter, electric vehicles.
