Soundproofing

<< < (2/3) > >>

extreme90:
no the bonnet sound proofing if a fibre type stuff dont use rubber  :roll:

sound proofing the side panels wont make no difference,
the sound rises up, echo'ing in the arches and up the chassis

best bet if your really concerned is to fit some rubber down onto the rear floor then carpet the rear tub wheel arch's

after that theres no gain, just expence and daftness  :roll:

i'll look under the bonnet of the defender i took the engine out, then get some rubber for the floors

per_ardua:
the best sound insulation I have got is a set of small yellow foam ear plugs from the ranges. probably cost about £2

works a treat and yes you can hear emergency service vehicles with them in , in fact better than if you didn't

failing that I'd go for bulkhead floors transmission tunnel and everywhere else that has been suggested. It will never be silent thoght.

M19 ROO:
if you fancy spendin some cash about 11-15 quid a roll (depending where you get it) you could go the whole hog lol

took me about 2 nites to finish and the difference is awesome! completly removed the amount of noise the solid body made, may even do the roof above front seats and doors yet, little warmer too but dont expect too much lol

Jimbo:
I'm in the process of doing the 110 - bought a few metres of standard, fibre sound-deadening stuff from my local motor factors, a couple of tins of contact adhesive and spent a 'happy' couple of hours lining the rear roof and sides.

The side panels then got lumps of polystyrene building insulation (Wickes 3 quid for an 8'x2' sheet) fitted, and finally I fitted 7mm external grade ply (acquired, don't ask  :twisted: ) to hold the polystyrene in place (and give me somewhere to fix 'things'. Might even stick some plack carpet over the ply to really tidy it up !

As for the rear floor - I don't want anything that will absorb water (like the fibre stuff I used on the sides) as it will go manky when I bung wet camping gear in there, so will be using 3mm thick rubber matting - stuck to the tops and sides of the wheel arches, but the bit on the floor will be a loose fit.
