Acoustic wheel well liner

摘要

A wheel well liner for use in the wheel well of motor vehicles has an inner surface defining one or more acoustical sections. Each acoustical section includes a pattern of irregular or convoluted portions configured and arranged to absorb/attenuation sound. A layer of flock material is deposited on the inner surface of the wheel well liner to enhance aesthetics and provide supplemental sound attenuation.
