Over the years, Buick has established itself as the leader in making comfortable premium vehicles that are also very quiet. The biggest contributors to that is QuietTuning — an exclusive engineering process used to develop a quiet, relaxing, and distraction-free cabin. And the upcoming Buick Envision is no exception.
After all, the compact CUV was developed from its inception (in the United States) to be sold globally, including China, North America, and Europe (under the Opel-Vauxhall marques). In the 2016 Buick Envision, QuietTuning is delivered using these features:
Acoustic-Laminated Glass And Active Noise Cancellation
Acoustic-Laminated Glass helps block outside noise while Active Noise Cancellation counteracts engine noise that does make it inside.
Sound Shields In The Doors
The doors form a sound-blocking shield using inner door sound barriers, thin and light absorbers and triple door seals.
Advanced Engine Isolation
Hydraulic engine mounts block out engine noise and vibrations from the cabin, while premium engine-side acoustics and sound-absorbing dash mat.

Comments
Chevrolet needs to adopt quiet tuning. Costs would be minimal due to over all scale.
Both Buick and Chevy need extra features to compete better with the 55 percent of imports that Americans buy.
Furthermore, Quiet Tune should compete well against both VW and Ford in Europe.
Actually many Chevy models have the same quiet tuning. The laminated side glass etc.
