Suppress shock & vibration at the source.
With our engineered noise, vibration and harshness solutions, we can help brace your platform for isolated impact as well as withstanding challenging environmental conditions.
3M Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH) Solutions
Anything that vibrates, rattles or creates significant noise may pose a hazard to your people or a detriment to your performance—and we have the shock absorption and material solutions for virtually all of it.
-
AbsorptionAbsorb and dissipate vibration and noises in metals, plastic, paneling, and many other irregular and curved surfaces and substrates with irregular geometries. Our acoustic insulation can deliver more absorption per unit weight than competitive products to help meet mass reduction goals, and our vibration damping tapes, absorbers, foams and composites can also be applied to not only help reduce NVH, but also do so in a way that yields a lighter weight or simplified manufacturing process.
-
IsolationIncreasing power density, resisting abrasion, helping reduce noise—we can help you achieve your design goals and problem-solve with isolation tapes, shims and other solutions for your platform. Engineers have replaced rivets and metal fasteners with our viscoelastic 3M™ VHB™ tapes to overcome shock and vibration challenges in aircraft and vehicles for years. From wire harness tapes that can bond to irregular surfaces to NVH damping repair materials, we have a full suite of solutions available to help us enhance your design.

Product Solutions
Neutralizing noise, vibration and harshness throughout your platform design is critical to its long-term performance. We can help with material and adhesive solutions to address these challenges at the source.
Acoustic
Create quieter vehicle environments with our full range of acoustic and insulation solutions. Designed to deliver more acoustic absorption per unit weight versus other competitive products, these technology can help you meet mass reduction goals in your next design.
Damping
Take control of vibration with lightweight, conformable damping solutions for your military vehicle. 3M™ Engineered Damping Material allows you to use smaller parts for equal NVH performance across your platform design.
Electronics
3M offers fully integrated, custom-designed engineered solutions to optimize performance and assembly of electronics under the E-A-R Brand by Aearo Technologies LLC, a 3M company.
Tapes
From our 3M™ VHB™ Tapes that help you eliminate rivets and screws that can loosen and rattle, to our 3M™ Vibration Control Tape that converts vibration to negligible heat and reduces structure-borne noise, we have adhesive tape solutions for a wide variety of NVH applications.
