ABSTRACT:
An area-reducing surface texture applied to a noise-prone portion of a vehicle panel or part where it makes contact with an unsecured length of wire harness, duct or other conduit. A plurality of small spaced structures is formed on or in the surface with their distal ends in contact with the wire harness, duct or other conduit. The total area of the contact ends of the structures is less than the original noise-prone surface area. This reduces the area of contact between the noise-prone portion of the panel and the wire harness, duct or other conduit.
