An acoustic seal arrangement is provided for a motor vehicle. The vehicle has a floor pan defining the floor of a passenger compartment. The vehicle also has an energy storage module. The energy storage module has a top wall with an outer perimeter portion and the energy storage module is suspended in spaced relation beneath the floor pan. A ring-shaped seal of compressible material is positioned between the outer perimeter portion of the energy storage module and the floor pan and in compression therebetween to form a sealed space and impede the transmission of noise into the sealed space between the top wall of the energy storage module and the floor pan. Accordingly, that portion of the vehicle floor pan that lies above the sealed space is protected from exposure to road noise, thereby quieting the passenger compartment.
