See full text

An air duct assembly for a vehicle air distribution system includes a first duct defining a first passage and a second duct defining a second passage separate from the first passage. The first and second passages are fluidly connected to a common outlet for flowing air to a windshield of the vehicle. The assembly further includes a third duct defining a third passage for flowing air to a side glass of the vehicle. The second and third passages are fluidly connected to a common inlet for receiving air from the blower motor. The third passage is fluidly connected to a lateral outlet that is separate from the common outlet, with the lateral outlet flowing air to a side glass of the vehicle. The assembly further includes at least one acoustic baffle disposed within the second passage and configured to reduce a transmission of the blower noise through the second passage.
