Transcript
00:00A Rolls-Royce car does not come cheap, known for producing hand-crafted automobiles that
00:05promise a seamless magical carpet ride for its customers, but it's inside the car where
00:11luxury and cost dramatically increases.
00:15To create a virtually silent ride, Rolls-Royce adds approximately 300 pounds of acoustic
00:21insulation around the cabin.
00:23Its tyre manufacturer, Continental, even developed special foam-filled tyres, which reduce the
00:29noise of the road by 9 decibels.
00:32The results were so profound that Rolls-Royce removed some soundproofing to avoid causing
00:37acoustic sensory deprivation.
