Noisekiller stuff is good from what I know of them, have spoken to them on several occasions...

why they changed their name is anyones guess.

as daft as this may sound, the "main" sources of noise transmission are the bulkhead itself (a large vertical sheet of metal :) ) and the roof...

make sure the roof is both lined, and that the lining will reduce the vibration too, since that's a huge rattle panel.

The disco has something like the weight of a passenger in sound dampening glued to various parts of the engine bay,  which is around the only reason it's quieter.

An under bonnet kit would likely help a lot...

Skywalker:
Thanks datalas

When time permits I will try and quieten down the beast, the only underbonnet kit existing at the moment is a bit of mud, don't suppose that has much effect. (What is the dB rating for mud anyway).

Like your other suggestion though, I just have to decide which of my passengers to use as a soundproofing kit, yougest son comes to mind.  Well, probably not, he's 6'-4" and 18 stone - (could be overkill), besides he is my best assistant where heavy lifting is called for.
Seriously though, there is a headlining in the defender it's some sort of felt thingie..., thought some of the noisekiller liquid might help.  Anyone out there used it??

Cheers

V8_redline7500 & i found a cheap and chearful way of soundproofing the V8 90 racer......................use a pair of 5 quid peltor ear defenders........great cure,lol

Xtremeteam:
although the use of ear defenders can be slightly worrying to other road users,maybe the fitment of an intercom may help,it did for me,ive just got to remember to turn (V8_redline_4500) down when sittingon the startline  :lol:

kevbutty:
Thanks for the advice  =D> chaps.

Might get some of that noisekiller liquid stuff.

Off to Wales tomorrow for a spot of lanning over the Breacon beacons  \:D/  and we're watching a winch challenge at the Seven sisters on Sunday.

Don't think the 2 hour trip up the M4 will be much fun though  ](*,)
I mean't to get some ear plugs but didn't get round to it.
