Abstract

A HVAC system for reducing the level of air rush and blower noise escaping into the interior of the vehicle when the HVAC system is operating in the recirculation mode. The HVAC system includes a recirculation door having an acoustically transparent portion that enables a component of the air rush and blower noise to pass through the recirculation door to the vehicle exterior instead of entering the vehicle cabin or interior through the recirculation air inlet.
