Abstract
A noise reflector configured to reduce engine sound passing below a side member of a vehicle and leaking laterally from the vehicle. The noise reflector is disposed on a lower side of a lower surface of the side member, has a sound reflective surface tilted from a vertical direction to be directed downward as being gradually laterally distant from an engine, and is configured to reflect downward engine sound received by the sound reflective surface and cause the engine sound thus reflected to interfere with engine sound passing below the side member.
