  "textContent": "A method and apparatus for noise reduction in a semi-truck tractor. The semi-truck tractor has hood cowling that is carried on an upper hood support mounted to a firewall of the semi-truck tractor. The invention includes applying a resilient sleeve to the upper hood support to eliminate a noise generated by vibration of the hood cowling when supported by the upper hood support. The resilient sleeve has an opening at a proximal end of the sleeve. The sleeve is dimensioned to surround an exposed face of the upper hood support when mounted to the firewall. The resilient sleeve provides a low friction barrier between the hood cowling and the upper hood support with the hood cowling in a closed position and supported by the upper hood support.",
