If you are in the market for new tires and are considering purchasing Pirelli tires, you might be wondering, “Are Pirelli tires quiet?” If you are the kind of driver concerned about interior cabin noise from tire vibrations, and you want to reduce tire noise, you can be assured that the makers of Pirelli tires have implemented sound dampening technologies on their tires. This technology is called Pirelli noise cancelling system technology, and this carefully-developed technology was created and implemented more than five years ago and is a standard feature on all Pirelli tires in Canada, and throughout the world.
The Pirelli Noise Cancelling System Technology helps drivers by reducing interior cabin noise, thus reducing any noise related stress that you might experience while driving. If you are looking for quiet tires, Pirelli’s technology works to reduce noise levels inside your car and the noise caused by the friction of your tires running against the road surface by the addition of a special sound absorbent material that has been placed inside the tires. This material is like a sponge, and it is made of a special open-cell polyurethane that works to absorb vibrations and reduce cavity noise, by approximately 25 percent. If you are looking for quiet tires in the Pirelli tire brand, then tires with this technology will be marked by a special icon—a speaker icon with crossed out sound waves on it—on the outside of the tires.
How does this technology reduce tire noise? The Pirelli Noise Cancelling Technology works in three ways: first, this technology absorbs the vibrations that are commonly referred to as cavity noise. Secondly, Pirelli’s sound absorbing sponge reduces the vibration frequency that causes the interior cabin noise; and thirdly, the system reduces noise by 2-3 decibels which, according to the company, reduces the perceived noise by half and thus improves driver comfort.
Many drivers of high end or luxury vehicles are interested in buying noise reducing tires, to ensure their total comfort while inside their vehicles. Pirelli tires can meet the needs of the most discerning drivers with its Pirelli Noise Cancelling System Technology.
