Sound insulation is an excellent tuning option that increases the acoustic comfort of your car. This is especially true for older cars, which for various reasons may not have sufficient sound insulation. For example, sound insulation of a VAZ 2110 car is often installed independently, since during the production of this model engineers did not pay enough attention to sound insulation of the interior.
The process is quite labor-intensive and takes at least one day, but the result will please any car owner. In this article we will look at such an action as soundproofing a VAZ 2110 with our own hands: we will describe recommendations for the selection of materials, tips for preparing for work, and the process of gluing the noise inside the cabin. Having completed work to improve the sound insulation of the car interior, you get both insulation from external sounds and improved sound quality of the acoustics in the cabin.
Start of work
The first step is to choose the material with which you will soundproof the VAZ-2110 with your own hands. The cheapest material will be foam rubber impregnated with rubber-bitumen mastic. But it will be much easier to buy ready-made materials, since there are a great many of them on the market. You will need:
- Vibroplast, which is a plastic material coated with foil. Capable of absorbing almost all metal vibration. It must be glued to all free metal surfaces. You can use analogues of this material.
- Splen can be used as a heat insulator. It is capable of not only retaining heat, but also absorbing excess noise. Splen must be glued to the vibroplast. It is advisable to stick it on the entire surface.
- Aluminum-based tape is necessary for gluing joints between materials.

Where materials need to be used
It should be taken into account that soundproofing of the VAZ-2110 is carried out with your own hands in several zones. And each of them has its own material. Try to use all materials according to the following recommendations:
- Vibroplast is necessary for gluing on the internal and external surfaces of doors. It also needs to be laid as the first layer on the surface of the roof, trunk door and hood. It is used for pasting the dashboard, interior and trunk floors, and the engine compartment panel.
- Splen based on sealant must be glued to the floor in the trunk and passenger compartment, as well as to the engine compartment panel.
- Adhesive-based splen must be used on the roof and inside the door.
- Bitoplast must be applied on the inside of the instrument panel, as well as on the door trim.
- Anti-squeak tape must be cut into strips and glued to the dashboard, door trim, and plastic elements in places where friction may occur.
- Aluminum tape is necessary to secure the splenite joints.
Ideal sound insulation VAZ-2110
I continue to make the “Lada 2110 Nezhdanchik Russian Motors” and the ShVI body is next.
So I shook out the old stuff and made an almost perfect Shumka. After all, in soundproofing it’s not even the amount of material that matters. how much is the quality of the gluing. So. for the ideal ShVI we need (everything is described in detail in Nezhdanchik’s on-board report) 1) Disassemble the car to bare metal and completely clean the original Shumka from the interior and completely clean the original anti-corrosive from the bottom of the body
2) Remove the rust, sandblast the bottom from the street and the interior, and weld all the holes. In short, do it this way, then welding on the bottom of the car would not be possible in the next 5 years for sure. After all, after the ShVI sticker, oh, what a shame it’s a year later to go to welding, rip everything off (and tearing off a well-rolled one is a hellish task), cook, re-glue... For one thing, when welding, you need to strengthen the body in all weak points, integrate amplifiers on the engine shield, front glasses. rear part of the body. roof... Be sure to weld all unnecessary holes in the body (drains on the floor, the hole for the old-style heater in the engine panel...) Since it’s going to be welded anyway, then do it thoroughly) 3) Anti-corrosion the bottom, this means painting it with reactive primer + applying joint sealant + acrylic + at least 2 layers of epoxy + coat with anti-gravel + paint with acrylic or varnish + apply a layer of anti-corrosive under the bottom (for example, reheated push salo + mastic brought to a boil and then sprinkled with sand)
4) As long as the interior is freshly painted, pristinely clean and does not require degreasing,
prepare the tool (matte sponge, stitching roller, a pair of screwdrivers with a round handle for rolling in difficult places) and heat the material

How much material will be needed
To soundproof the VAZ-2110 interior, trunk and hood, the following amount of materials will be required:
- Vibroplast no less than 32 sheets.
- Splenya 4mm thick, glue-based, at least 7 sheets.
- Splenya 4 mm with a base of sealant of at least 11 sheets.
- One roll of bitoplast.
- One roll of anti-squeak tape.
- At least two rolls of aluminum tape.
The maximum amount of vibroplast required for high-quality insulation of a car can be 39 sheets. Splended with glue and sealant - 14 and 8 sheets, respectively. It’s better to take extra soundproofing materials so as not to interrupt your work.
Materials used for car soundproofing
There are many options for materials used for sound insulation. You can make such material yourself, or you can use one or more of the ready-made solutions:
- Bitoplast is polyurethane foam impregnated with bitumen. Excellent sound absorption due to its porous structure. Today it is the most popular soundproofing material.
- Vibroplast is a bitumen-containing material covered with a layer of foil on both sides. Great for insulating hood, doors and trunk.
- Modelen is used in cases where other materials are not suitable. It consists of fabric impregnated with glue.
- Splen. Its main component is polyethylene foam. Unlike other materials, splen also has thermal insulation properties.
Combine materials depending on the installation location and what goals you are pursuing when gluing the interior. The first 2 options are the most optimal.
Tools for work
It is imperative to clean all surfaces to be treated and wash them thoroughly. The standard sound insulation of the VAZ-2110 must be removed from everywhere. You need to acquire the following tool:
- Sharp scissors.
- Convenient and sharp knife.
- Construction hairdryer.
- With a tape measure.
- Roller for rolling (preferably made of metal).
- Marker.
- Solvent, white spirit, or acetone.
- Clean rags.
All work will take no more than three days if done independently.
Preparation for work
Before starting work, it is necessary to completely disassemble the interior. All trim, front panel, and seats must be removed. If there is standard sound insulation on the VAZ-2110, it is necessary to completely remove it and get rid of the residue using a sharp knife and acetone. When disassembling, do not think about losing the parts that secure all the elements.
Label the nuts and bolts to ensure they are in place during assembly. Small elements must be placed in a bag and glued with tape to the part to which they belong. Only after careful preparation can you begin to apply insulating materials. Be sure to vacuum all metal elements and treat them with a solvent so that the insulating material adheres better.
Disassembling the interior
First of all, you need to remove the front and rear seats. After this, you can begin dismantling the console. You'll have to tinker here, although there shouldn't be any particular difficulties. There are few fasteners on the panel, so it can be easily removed.
However, it is recommended to remember the order in which the wires are connected - this will save time during assembly. It is best to mark the pads by drawing up a wiring diagram. To remove the dashboard, you will have to remove the steering wheel along with the steering column cover. The rugs also need to be removed.
The standard sound insulation of the VAZ-2110 under the seats is fiber-bitumen, of different structure, thickness and appearance. At the back, the insulation is thinner, more elastic and covered with a film. Under the driver's seat the insulation is thicker, stiffer and without film.
This circuit effectively absorbs the noise of a running engine. But when replacing, the standard insulation must be dismantled, and the work here is complicated due to the many plastic fasteners. Most likely, the thick layer of new insulation will prevent the fasteners from being reinstalled, so they will no longer be needed.
thin sound insulation on the wall
After the dismantling of the old insulation has been completed, the interior has been stripped down to bare metal, and wires are hanging everywhere, you can immediately begin soundproofing the VAZ-2110.
Ceiling and doors
The first step is to apply vibroplast to the metal surfaces of the door and ceiling. The entire surface must be cleaned and degreased. The work must be done very quickly while the material is hot. The vibroplast is heated using a technical hair dryer or an electric heater. Only in this case will it stick to the surface much better and take the shape of the body element.
To apply vibroplast to the surface as efficiently as possible, you need to use a metal roller. Try not to allow any air bubbles to form. If even the slightest bubble appears, condensation will begin to accumulate in it, which will lead to the body rusting. Vibroplast should be glued crosswise on the ceiling and doors, in this case it will last longer and be stronger.
Where does the water in the trunk come from?
It is known that the appearance of water in the interior or trunk of a car can lead to corrosion there.
It is recommended that owners pay attention to this factor as often as possible and check the accumulation of water under the floor mats in the cabin and in the trunk, especially in rainy weather. You should also periodically check the underbody of the car for damage.
Over time, seals deteriorate, and this can also cause condensation in a car that is poorly ventilated. In this case, moisture can get into the car’s wiring, which will lead to a short circuit and fire, or failure of certain systems.
Interior and trunk wrapping
Now you need to soundproof the car floor. For this purpose, vibroplast and splen are used. Vibroplast is laid as the first layer; it must be applied to the maximum area. Cover the material as best as possible so that it adheres to the metal surface. Splen is applied as the second layer. It also needs to be glued to the maximum area of the bottom of the cabin.
Recently, this type of sound insulation has become popular, such as applying a rubber-bitumen mixture to the outside of the car’s bottom. This allows you to reduce the level of vibration coming from the wheels and road surface. But it will be much more effective if you simultaneously treat the inner surface of the bottom. Everything inside the trunk needs to be carefully sealed with vibroplast. It will be a little more difficult here, since there is a niche for the spare wheel, protrusions for the shock absorber struts, and sometimes the edges of the screws come out.
Is there an effect
What does soundproofing a motor shield provide?
:
- Reduces engine noise.
- Reduces the level of vibrations on the body.
- Makes the engine shield stronger (the effect is similar to installing a bulkhead amplifier): less vibration on the steering wheel when driving, the steering wheel rotates more easily (on cars without ESD/power steering).
To reduce the noise level in the cabin by 2-4 dB (a difference of 1 dB is barely noticeable or not noticeable by ear at all), it is necessary to approach the sound insulation of the car comprehensively, work on all parts of the body (floor, doors, roof, trunk, dashboard, etc.). etc.), wheel arches and fender liners. Also, on LADA cars it would be a good idea to install additional door seals (instructions for XRAY, Vesta, Granta/Kalina/Priora, Largus and Lada 4x4).
Shutdown
The last things you need to cover are the trunk lid, hood, and dashboard elements. Try to apply insulating material to all elements of the dashboard that may be sources of squeaks and extraneous noise. After gluing is completed, you need to assemble the entire interior, install the instrument panel, door trim, lay the carpet and install the seats.
The better the sound insulation of the car floor, the less vibration will be transmitted to the interior. After all the work carried out, comfort will be much higher, squeaks will disappear, and even the engine will start to run quieter (it feels like).
The standard sound insulation provided for the VAZ 2110 leaves much to be desired. No, it cannot be called terrible, but there is always something to strive for.
If you don’t like the level of silence inside the cabin of your own ten, then you can easily solve this problem on your own by carrying out sound insulation.
Preparing for Shumka
Main difficulties
If you have already disassembled the interior of the car, you may have noticed that in the VAZ 2110 this is done quite simply. Even if you are new to this business, relying on the instruction manual, the work will be completed quickly enough. Additionally, we advise you to rely on video lessons. They can highlight a lot of useful and important things.
The main difficulty when disassembling the interior, without which it will not be possible to carry out full sound insulation, is dismantling the dashboard.
The same instruction manual contains recommendations regarding dismantling the dashboard, so rely on it. Under no circumstances should you pull out all the cords, otherwise you will have problems later.
Let's sum it up
If the sound insulation of the VAZ is carried out correctly, the noise level should decrease by 40-55%. The sound of the running engine will not be heard as much, and you can completely forget about the noise of the wheels - especially when driving at speed. In addition, drivers who are not too lazy to do additional sound insulation claim that the car’s dynamics then improve.
Soundproofing of the VAZ-2107 can be done in a similar way. It is worth noting that the work is really worth spending time and energy on. This is especially useful if the machine is used constantly. Many car enthusiasts also soundproof the Priora. But we will talk about this in a separate article.

Materials
So, you have disassembled the interior, so you can start gluing the surfaces.
Don’t rush to spend a lot of money buying all the materials that catch your eye. Especially in stores they like to “cook” something more expensive, despite the fact that there are a lot of cheaper analogues. You can listen to our advice, and this will allow you to save a lot from a financial point of view, but provide the car with high-quality sound insulation.
Material
Peculiarities
You will be laying this material over areas of bare metal. Vibroplast looks like a mixture of rubber and foil. It is highly efficient and accessible. To work you will need 6 sheets measuring 400 by 900 millimeters
Choose fine-bubble material 5 millimeters thick and 1000 millimeters long. Moreover, it is better to buy isolon in construction markets rather than in car dealerships, since it costs much less there.
This is not a superfluous material at all in the process of sound insulation, which can be turned into a full-fledged bitoplast with your own hands. Choose foam rubber with a thickness of 1 centimeter
The amount of material you will buy directly depends on the goals and objectives you have set. If this is complete sound insulation for almost the entire car, then take 5-6 sheets of each material. If the noise is partial, then focus on the size of the areas of the car that need to be treated with sound insulators.
