For most car owners, their car is almost a second home, so they want the greatest comfort and convenience from it. People are most often especially critical of extraneous sounds coming from the outside world. After all, you want to get into the car and not be distracted by the noise of the engine, wheels and the roar of the muffler. I just want to sit down and drive in silence and comfort. In order to reduce the noise of the car as much as possible, sound insulation of the Lada Vesta will help us. We will do everything with our own hands, so don’t switch and let’s go.
Almost all modern cars do not have good sound insulation. As a rule, they are all standard - tin boxes with carpet on the floor and plastic on the doors. What kind of noise protection is there? Everywhere they want to reduce the cost of construction in order to earn more money and offer the buyer the minimum price. Therefore, most often, after purchase, car owners engage in modifications - installing additional sound insulation for the Lada Vesta with their own hands. This process is not complicated, but it requires some knowledge, skill and a lot of free time. But if you have a couple of days off, a small set of tools, and extra free hands, then everything can be easily implemented.
Where to start soundproofing Lada Vesta?
First, I wanted to write that soundproofing should definitely start with theory, namely by visiting specialized sites and forums. But since you are already on this site, it means everything is going according to plan.
Secondly, you need to make the necessary calculations to buy the right amount of material.
Next, we find a place where we will carry out work on soundproofing the car. It should be a well-lit and warm garage or box where you can open the doors completely and walk freely. Of course, in the summer you can do everything outside in the open air. The main thing is that there is no rain. 
After that, we purchase materials and get to work. I will say right away that if you plan to do everything correctly and efficiently, then stock up on the necessary amount of materials and enough time. Otherwise, you will only waste time and money and will not get the desired result. I also recommend performing sound insulation as a whole, not only gluing the doors and trunk, but gluing the car completely in order to achieve the best result.
Vesta noise insulation assessment
Many reviewers, analyzing the pros and cons of this car, in most cases spoke either positively or neutrally about its sound insulation.
In comparison with its closest competitors, Vesta turned out to be a noisier car than Rio and Fiesta, but was able to overtake Logan in this parameter. In general, in terms of noise level and vibration comfort, the Lada Vesta is approximately on the same position as the Volkswagen Polo, although the latter’s engine makes a little more noise.
Reviews about sound insulation in the Lada Vesta are contradictory: some owners say that the sound insulation is quite decent, much better than on its predecessors; others call the car not the best example in terms of acoustic comfort. In many ways, this opinion is formed on the basis of comparison with the experience of driving a previous car.
Therefore, for complete comfort, the owners of the Lada Vesta often improve its sound insulation.
Soundproofing process for Lada Vesta
We start by completely disassembling the interior of the car. We remove the door and trunk trim, remove the seats, and remove the factory carpet and headliner. In some cases, you will need to remove the front panel to soundproof the engine shield. But, unfortunately, due to the large amount of work, not everyone dares to do this.
When everything is disassembled, everything needs to be washed, dried and degreased. There is one more question: “Should I remove the factory vibration insulation or not?” There is no definite answer, since there is no such thing as too much sound insulation. But in the case of AvtoVAZ, it is best to remove the factory vibration insulation, since it is not always well glued and can come off over time.
Soundproofing the roof of Lada Vesta
To achieve the best effect, we will carry out all work in accordance with the technical regulations of STP, which is a leading manufacturer of soundproofing materials for cars.
For the roof of the car we will use two materials STP Aero and StP Biplast Premium 15A. The first layer must be glued with STP Aero vibration insulation. It is enough to glue 70% of the treated surface, but we do everything to the maximum, leaving only the stiffening ribs uncovered. This is important because they must be ventilated to prevent condensation from forming, which will lead to corrosion over time.
Vibration insulation must be rolled well so that no air voids form inside. Otherwise, condensation will form inside, which will inevitably lead to corrosion. In order to roll vibroplast well, a special roller is used:
After our bibroplast is glued, we move on to the biplast. Unlike vibroplast, which only needs to cover 70% of the surface, biplast should be used to glue as much as possible, and ideally strive for 100%. We also leave the roof reinforcements open.
After all this, you can install the roof sheathing in place. Please note that there is a thin layer of synthetic padding on the ceiling lining, which we will not remove. It will not improve sound insulation performance, but it will not be worse for thermal insulation.
↑ procedure
Any work on installing automotive sound and vibration insulation on a car such as the Lada Vesta will include a number of actions that must be performed in a specific order. Usually the work takes no more than two or three days, although auto repairmen sometimes reduce the period to one and a half days.
In order to make sound insulation, you need:
- remove the vehicle trim, providing free access to the metal body;
- metal surfaces are thoroughly degreased using the liquid mentioned above;
- noise and vibration insulation membranes are cut;
- vibration-absorbing material is placed directly on the metal;
- on top of the previous one - a layer of sound insulation;
- for sound insulation - an anti-creaking layer;
- the casing is returned to its place.
Important! The insulation area must be at least 70% of the area of the metal structure of the vehicle.
When laying vibration insulation, it must be warmed up well with a hairdryer and the sheets are rolled with a roller so that there are no air pockets and the texture is no longer foil-like. If bubbles still form, they are carefully pierced.

Unlike vibration isolation, it is important to maintain the integrity of the sound insulation layer. The roll is carefully cut in accordance with the measurements taken. Then the material is sequentially glued, finishing the work by rolling with a roller.
Soundproofing Lada Vesta doors
One of the most problematic places in a car is the doors. More noise enters the cabin through the doors than through all other elements. Therefore, in this case, everything must be processed well, without missing anything. Having made high-quality sound insulation of Lada Vesta doors, you will immediately feel the difference. Let's get started.
First we remove the door trims. You can find out how this is done in the car's operating instructions. We degrease everything, dry it and apply the first layer to the outer panel of the STP AERO door.
Don’t forget that you don’t need to glue anything to the door stiffeners. We roll everything well with a roller. This layer of vibration insulation is applied in order to reduce the natural vibrations of the panel and make the metal itself more rigid. On top of the vibration insulation we glue StP Accent Premium 10 mm thick. This is a special sound-absorbing material that dampens sound vibrations, acts as good thermal insulation and makes the sound from the speakers better. Please note that you need to glue StP Accent Premium sheets up to the drainage holes, leaving a distance of 3-4 cm.
We complete the inner “layer” of the door with STP AERO material. You just need to seal all the technological holes to create a closed space inside the door. This is important not so much for noise insulation, but for better sound quality from the speakers.
And the last stage of soundproofing Lada Vesta doors is the treatment of door skins (cards), on which we will apply StP Biplast Premium 15A in a continuous layer. After these steps, you can put the skins back together and move on to the next step.
↑ Trunk and floor
Soundproofing the trunk and floor is a single process, which begins after the seats, console and inner trim underneath are removed from the car's interior.
Since the floor of the car is in contact with the ground and wheels, for its complete insulation it is necessary to lay three layers.
- The first layer is a standard vibration-isolating material.
- The second layer is regular sound insulation.
- The third layer is additional noise absorption using NoiseBlock.
Attention! Details of the sound insulation device in the interior of a Lada Vesta car can be found out using a special video.
The layer thickness is usually up to 10 mm.
Soundproofing the floor of Lada Vesta
If the first two stages could be called light, then soundproofing the Lada Vesta floor will be more difficult. First we need to remove the seats. First we remove the back seat, and then move on to the front. After which you need to remove all the sill trims, the central tunnel with the armrest and other small plastic elements.
After this, we remove the carpet and standard sound insulation. If the factory vibration insulation does not hold up well or peels off, then it is best to remove it. After that, we degrease everything and move directly to the sound insulation itself.
We apply StP Aero Plus material to the metal floor, joint to joint. We will also cover approximately 100% of the area. As usual, we leave the amplifiers open. On top of this material we apply StP Accent Premium 6 mm, also in a continuous layer, or StP Barrier 4 KS. And on top of it all we glue with StP NoiseBlock material 2 mm thick.
At this stage, the wheel arches of the Lada Vesta are immediately soundproofed. Sound insulation is made with Biplast Premium material, which is used instead of StP Aero Plus, and the remaining two layers - Biplast and Premium Accent - are glued in the same order.
After the work has been done, we assemble the interior in the reverse order and move on to the trunk.
Do-it-yourself soundproofing of the Lada Vesta trunk
Soundproofing the trunk is carried out in two stages - processing the trunk lid and processing the inner surface. The sequence doesn't matter. You can start with the simplest thing - soundproofing the trunk lid of the Lada Vesta. This stage of work is the simplest. We simply remove the decorative trim, degrease the metal and treat the inside with StP Aero material in one layer. We put everything back together in reverse order.
But you will have to tinker with the inside of the trunk.
First you need to remove all the decorative panels and trunk carpet. We degrease the metal and treat everything with StP Aero+ material. We try to cover everything as tightly as possible and cover the largest area. The wings are covered with StP Aero material. And the rear arches are StP Bimast Bomb Premium.
Next, apply the second layer. StP Barrier 4KS is placed on the floor, StP Accent Premium 10 mm is placed on the wings, and StP Biplast Premium 15A is placed on the arches.
Phew. That's all for this stage.

Soundproofing of the Lada Vesta was carried out according to the Olimp in 9 hours in the presence of the owner. Each Mos-Olympus master has at least 5 years of experience, which is a guarantee of careful analysis of the salon. Rest assured that not a single part will be damaged or broken during operation. The technician changes up to 20 pairs of gloves while working on your car.
The interior of the Lada Vesta is thoroughly washed and degreased after disassembly. Then the master takes photographs of the disassembled interior, photographing each element separately, the roof, doors, interior floor, hood, rear fenders, trunk lid. After this, the process of installing the first layer of sound insulation begins.
In the Olimp we use top materials from ComfortMat. Before installation, all vibration is heated in a special oven to a temperature of about 57-60 C. During installation, everything is rolled with rollers without fail!

The sound insulation of Vesta doors includes 3 layers of ShVI, plus anti-creaking of all door skins, it is this order of installation of vibration-noise materials that allows you to achieve the maximum sound insulation effect, reduce vibrations traveling through the body, and improve the sound of the car’s standard acoustics. And carefully, using special tools, so as not to damage or scratch the body and door trim, we proceed to disassembly.
We degrease the metal surface of the door and proceed to the installation of the ShVI. The first layer is to install an effective vibration-damping material. Material thickness 2 mm.
As a second layer, we install another vibration layer in the door, this time on the outer side of the card, in order to remove vibrations traveling through the body as much as possible.
The third layer - Volna material - is an effective sound insulator from ComfortMat, dampens up to 80% of sounds.
Material thickness 15 mm.
We treat each door trim with anti-squeak to eliminate as much as possible the appearance of unpleasant “crickets” in the car interior.
Sound insulation of the Lada Vesta trunk includes a combination of vibration-noise-absorbing materials to achieve maximum effect.
The first layer in the trunk niche is mounted with vibration-damping material made from a new-level mastic composition G-formula and HotAl aluminum foil using InFliz technology, thanks to which it was possible to achieve a significant increase in all indicators, especially the mechanical properties and adhesion. Thickness 3.2mm. To soundproof the arches of the Lada Vesta, we use vibration-insulating material Comfort Mat Premium DARK . The entire vibration is preheated and rolled with rollers during installation.
Then we proceed to the installation of noise absorbers. The trunk wings contain Volna material, an effective sound insulator that dampens up to 80% of sounds. Thickness 15mm.
We glue the trunk niche and arches with highly effective sound insulation from Comfortmat with a moisture-resistant adhesive layer. Thickness 4 mm.
The soundproofing of the Vesta hood will also not be left without attention. The first layer is vibro-mounted on metal and rolled with rollers.
To protect the hood, we install polyurethane foam with an adhesive layer protected by an anti-adhesive gasket. It has high heat insulating and noise-absorbing properties. Durable and does not deteriorate under environmental influences.
Sound insulation of the trunk lid consists of vibration and sound-absorbing material. Vibration-damping material made from a new-level mastic composition G-formula and HotAl aluminum foil using InFliz technology. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve a significant increase in all indicators, especially KMP and Adhesion. Material thickness 2.2mm.
We mount Volna on the fifth door trim, thickness 15 mm.
Sound insulation of Lada Vesta / Lada Vesta with top materials according to the Olimp is ready! 3 craftsmen worked for 9 hours. 40 kg of vibration-noise-absorbing materials were installed. After such a program, the car became acoustically comfortable, and will delight the owner with silence and deep sounding acoustics every day. We issue a guarantee for our work - 3 years, order - an order, a certificate and declare the car - acoustically comfortable.
In the process of soundproofing the Lada Vesta, the following were used:
| Ceiling soundproofing | -vibro G2 (2mm) -thick felt (10mm) |
| Soundproofing doors | -vibration G2 (2mm) -vibration Comfort Silence (2.2mm) -material Wave (15mm) -anti-creaking (5mm) |

| Sound insulation of the trunk lid | -ComfortMat G2 vibration (2mm) -Wave material (15mm) |
Soundproofing the hood of Lada Vesta
Along with soundproofing the trunk lid, processing the hood also does not cause much trouble. If the factory hood insulation is installed, then we dismantle it and glue the metal with StP Aero material between the stiffeners.
After this, we glue StP Accent Premium 10 mm thick and install the factory sound insulation in place.
Soundproofing Lada Vesta price
I left this point at the very end of the article for a reason. You've probably noticed that high-quality sound insulation of the Lada Vesta requires a lot of materials. So it can't be cheap. And if you do not decide to do everything yourself, then you will also have to add the cost of the work, which in different regions and companies can vary from 10 to 30 thousand rubles, depending on the company. The materials themselves will cost 15 thousand rubles and more. Of course, prices may vary, but on average you will have to pay 25-40 thousand rubles for soundproofing a turnkey Lada Vesta.
That's all. Now you can enjoy silence in your car! Thank you for your attention and see you again on our website!
