noiseless vehicle passage
Explanation:
Yes, Bridge Joints are Noisy!
Bridge joints make noise and a loud noise at that. When in your vehicle, you may hear a muffled noise, but those within earshot hear a much louder noise. When traveling over bridge joints in a motorized vehicle, it creates a short noise impulse that can range from 70-105 decibels on a sound meter. How loud is that? As loud as a garbage disposal, dishwasher, lawnmower, and even sometimes if the bridge joint is broken or damaged, it can get as loud as a bulldozer.

Causes of Bridge Joint Noise
Noise events due to vehicles passing over bridge expansion joints occur when vehicle tires strike the rectangular face of the expansion joint units and traverse the discontinuous surface profile. It can also be induced by the unevenness of the surface of the expansion joint itself and of the road surface before and after the joint.
In addition, bridge joints wear out and come loose creating an uneven surface (see photo). This often jostles empty tractor trailers and creates an additional booming sound that can exceed 80 decibels. Residents who live near bridges often hear the continuous noise all day and night long.

Noise not only occurs on top of the bridge deck, but also under the bridge near the abutments. An environmental noise nuisance results from the interaction of vibration of the bridge expansion joint with acoustic resonances produced inside the abutment void space below the joint (see photo). Often times, bicycle and walking trails pass directly under bridges and they are often less than 10 feet from the noise source. The loud impulse noise that can reach 105 decibels, thus becomes a problem with pedestrians, often resulting in complaints to the county or bridge owner.

@svetlana: Silent works just as well. I was thinking about "road noise", hence noiseless. I just wanted to make sure that it is clear what is making the noise and how.

neutral  Boris Shapiro: Ride: 1.a An excursion or journey in some vehicle or conveyance (OED). Иными словами, вместо "бесшумного проезда" - "тихая поездка". Uneventful, я бы даже сказал.

  -> Борис, а чем "тихая поездка"/"quiеt ride" отличается от "бесшумного проезда"/"quiet passage"? По-моему тех, кто едет на автомобиле, прежде всего волнует, чтобы на этих стыках их не "трясло", а не сколько шума они при этом производят.
neutral  Anton Konashenok: Идеальный ответ, если речь о шуме, слышимом внутри автомобиля, но не о шуме для окружающих.

  -> Антон, это уж Светлане подбирать, что подойдет для перевода этого рекламного слогана. Помнится, "Форд" рекламировал свою продукцию под лозунгом "Feel the difference", который был переведен как "Почувствуй разницу", а затем снял эту рекламу с эфира.
agree  YESHWANT UMRALKAR: silent may be?

  -> Thank you, Yeshwant. In my perception a "silent ride" is a ride when all people in the vehicle keep silent.

neutral  Iuliia Vinitchenko: Я могу ошибаться, но smooth riding звучит скорее как seamless, то есть когда колёсами шов не чувствуется, едешь как по гладкой дороге, а не когда эхо от колёс не несётся вслед за авто
