Seat don't do sound deadening...

[DaveP]

You doing the roof?

I have done the doors, rear, boot, under rear seat and roof. I haven't got around to taking the carpet and seat out - yet. Now the wind noise is more noticable ;-)

 

[Icecavern]

Not sure if I'm gonna do the roof. Might do at some point in the future.

Anyone knows where in london I can have my car sound insulation done?

 

[Rosco906]

Top job bud!

 

[Fl@pper]

guess an extra speaker down there would do wonders with the lady passengers, lol

i'm sure i made that thread sticky

i'll get me coat

Blimey Pete you have been busy !

Don't know about you but when I added 3 sheets of Dynamat to my doors, my hands were cut to shreds....guess you've had a bit more practice though...

 

[Icecavern]

Most of the car is back together now. I've filled the rear 3/4 panels with fat blocks of foam in rubble sacks to keep the foam dry. Just got the passenger side 3/4 panel to fit back on but the results are worth it, it's much queiter now

I did slice a few chunks off one finger with the dynamat. Normally I wear mechanixwear gloves but they are covered in CV joint grease ATM so had to go hardcore bare handed

 

[aaronbromley]

What bits did you use? (what foam etc?) must be a lot better now, i was thinking of getting the NoiseKiller accoustic kit for my Ibiza but it may be better and cheaper if i buy the stuff and lay it all round the car myself, how much would you recommend though? 10 square ft?

would that be any good?

 

[Icecavern]

I used a whole Extreme bulk pack on the bits I did. That's quite a bit more than 10 sqft.

I used old foam I had lying about as cavety filler.

 

[aaronbromley]

Yeah that link was an example, i notice after that its only 10sq ft. Was it actually dynamat you used then? Really keen to do this in my car, ive used my sat nav as a car phone endless times and i just cannot hear the person on the phone speaking, its terrible.

I used the noisekiller www.noisekiller.co.uk stuff on mine...

2 sheets of foil faced acoustic mat and
1 sheet of non adhesive acoustic floor mat

Enough to do the entire boot, rear 3/4 and front doors in the foil faced stuff and underlay all the carpet in the boot and up front with the floor mat...

And your happy with the results? The sound is far reduced?

 

[BlackFR]

Well next time i'm over pete's way we will give them a back to back test

 

[Tom B]

My old Ibizas had foam filling the sides of the rear quarters, wouldn't that have helped sound deadening?

 

[jamesmckelvie]

did you find anything in those quarter panels that could potentially work loose, and cause a knocking sound?

 

[Icecavern]

The rear speaker mounts are riveted on so they could be loose

think i have got the same problem!

 

[Brummy]

I'm adding extra foam under carpets as well

Underlay, underlay?


just goes to show how they chuck cars together now tho'

 

[Icecavern]

Didn't have any underlay to hand at the time mate, but yes I'll probably add some later.

I understand why they did it, it's to keep the weight down. But TBH I think the majority of owners would rather have a quieter car than a miniscule performance increase and a few quid extra on the price.

I second that!
