Reduce Noise on Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350 – Custom Soundproofing by Sontech

We take care of your noise problems.

Problem & Solution

Effective Soundproofing for Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350

Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350 is a high-performance marine diesel engine, but with power comes high noise levels. Engine noise can significantly impact comfort and working conditions, especially in yachts, workboats, and commercial vessels.

At Sontech, we offer custom soundproofing solutions to:


Reduce engine noise and vibrations

Improve onboard comfort

Enhance the working environment for crew and passengers

Let us help you create a quieter and more enjoyable boating experience!

Why Soundproofing is Necessary

Our customized soundproofing solutions reduce engine noise and create a quieter, more comfortable onboard environment.

The Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350 generates engine noise that can lead to:

Excessive noise in the cabin and deck areas
Fatigue and discomfort for crew and passengers
Disturbances during docking and harbor maneuvers

How We Help

Custom noise-absorbing panels – Reduce sound transmission from the engine room.
Vibration-damping materials – Minimize structural noise and vibrations.
Thermal-acoustic insulation – Combined heat and noise protection for maximum efficiency.
