Acoustics

Ensuring the Phantom was as quiet as possible, both outside, to foster an impression of silent power, and inside, to create a uniquely hushed ambience, was a major objective for our engineers.
To achieve this, special ‘whisper-valves’ are fitted in the exhaust system, to render the Phantom almost completely silent when stationary, and when moving away from a standstill. The ultra-rigid aluminium spaceframe plays a major role in preventing squeaks and rattles, while extensive use of sound-deadening materials around the Phantom’s structure absorbs what little engine noise there is. To isolate occupants from wind noise the side windows feature laminated acoustic glass, while a double bulkhead separates the engine bay from the passenger compartment, and the Phantom’s double floor has a similar silencing effect on road noise.
