Is that actually the case? I've thought about using something thicker in the past in a noisy box. Never put the theory to test.

I wouldn't advise it, putting thicker oil in might make it less noisy, but it would be akin to sticking treacle into the engine.  The oil pathways both for lubrication and cooling are quite narrow..  and I don't think any of us want to see what happens if you block on up.

At the end of the day, LR didn't say "fill it with ATF" soley to make the begger noisier,  if it were as simple as using a heavier weight oil we'd all be driving round with bitchumen in them :-/
