What is NVH? 

Noise, vibration and harshness are features of the practical performance of many automotive, industrial and consumer products. NVH translates into how the end-user experiences your product and judges its quality. They know it when they see it, hear it and feel it. Cellasto® reduces NVH effects to help you create value—including quieter experiences and smooth handling for your customers.
