Does the parcel shelf reduce noise at all?

[MyEarHurts]

For those with the parcel shelf (factory or aftermarket) do you notice it reducing any road or cabin noise with it on/removed?

 

[Tonedog77]

no

 

[bitwiser]

My impression has been that it reduces the "booming" that occurs around 30mph. Not sure if my experience is typical.

Adds no sound influence.

Parcel shelf
1. I can put light items on it
2. It hides/covers cargo area

you are not missing out, it feels like a cheap knock off with poor functionality. Could not possibly cost more than $6 to manufacture unlike the sturdy retractable ones you get on German brands.
Definitely 3rd party opportunity here.

"Model Y Shelf" did not reduce booming for me.

This . The factory one is a PITA to use as it cannot stay in a retraced position. I removed mine from my MY

Driving with the rear seat folded however, makes a big difference.
I know it because I often carry my bike inside my car, so I can keep it hidden.

I can't tell if it makes a difference yet, as I need far more miles on the car to make a judgement. If you oftem move items into and out of the back, it can get in the way. The rear glass is so dark I don't know if it actually hides the view of anything back there. Mine is currently out of the car for the winter and/or until I make a long trip with luggage in the back. Glad I have it, but don't know if I'll really need it.

Well said. Never understood the must have on this. As for hiding anything the rear window on my car is so dark there is no way to see anything back there. I would suspect most will simply toss it in the garage as it’s more in the way then of value for much else.

Yes.

does for me and I can actually hear the rear speakers now

Tesla's cargo cover does quiet the interior, it's poorly designed functionally but is a thick, solid piece that is both useful and completely annoying.

I noticed that too on m MYP as I am loading/unloading the trunk when it begins to slide back down flat. Have to adjust it a few times such that it stops moving, then I put it flat after I am finished.

 

[Bikeman]

As far as keeping the rumbling road noise down in the rear of the car, I can't help but to think that a rear deck cargo liner would help far more than if the shelf was present, or not. And then also a mat at the bottom of the rear bin. Or all three.
