Quiet down Sant Fe tire road noise

Great improvement by spraying undercoating in the wheel wells.

Just remove the tires, take out the 8-10 plastic screw clips and remove the
plastic inner fender liner.
Stuff some newspaper in the areas you do not want overspray, (springs,
hoses, Struts etc) and
Spray 1 can of rubberized undercoating in each wheel well, allow to dry for
1 hour or so and put it back together.

Cuts the road noise by 50% at least! Cost about 6 bucks a can, and about 30
minutes work,+1 hour waiting!

Very happy and quite easy!

 

So why couldn't Hyundai do this at the factory?

 

Interesting suggestion on the undercoating. I will give it a try, but,
ill add some 1/2" thick dense soundproofing insulation on top of the
undercoating once its dry, before i put the plastic wheel well liner
back on. Thanks for the tip.

 

Simple. It costs money and they probably felt the vehicle was quiet
enough without it.

 

Well then they're eardrums must be slanted too.

 

lil bit RACIST are we???

 

He's probably just cranky about making the mistake of buying a 20 mpg
SUV and having to feed it gas that's over three bucks a gallon and is
taking it out on the Koreans. Hopefully, this latest turn of events will
be the final nail it the coffin of the mindless SUV craze.

 

Wish my Santa Fe got 20 mpg.

I was trying to be generous. ;-)
