Not strictly ICE, but I want to try and cut down the boom in my wagon at around 3000-3500rpm from my backbox.

This is only a problem on motorways, sounds lovely elsewhere. I'm thinking of putting some acoustic matting under the boot carpet, any recommendations?

Cheers
Tim

 

Stupid as it sounds, I've used carpet underlay and it works wonders

 

Find nice bit of felt underlay/carpet. 2 -3 layers help. Remember to place some under rear seat.

 

Try wopping some brown bread/dynamat directly above the silencer & under the spare wheel (or at least on the silencer side of it). Should help stop the vibwations getting round the rest of the car & causing noises there

 

Thanks guys, off to the carpet shop in the morning then.....

 

Sorry guys but using felt can cause problems
If it ever gets wet it rots and smells and never dries out a bit like blotting paper
Far better to use waterproof materials from the specialists in this market NoiseKiller Acoustics contact them on 0161 643 8070

 

Steve, do you work for BJ Acoustics? (Just out of interest, no troubles with posting a reply to a query )

 

Yes I owned BJ Acoustics but we went into liquidation last Nov

Have restarted under the name NoiseKiller offering the same products as well as NoiseKiller Liquid sound proofing

Steve,

Good point but too late, underlay went in on Sunday, big improvement.

Thanks guys
Tim

 

Tim,

What underlay did you get and how much did it take to cover the boot? Did you do the rear seat or floorpan?

Stefan,

I bought offcuts, enough to cover under the rear seat, sorry can't remember measurements. It was good quality stuff - about £15 worth. It's easy to cut holes for the seat belts and seat latch. This bit looked really neat when I'd finished.

For the boot I took everything out and laid one piece in to cover the whole area - it looks a bit of a mess, but once you put the carpet back in who's to know? Only place I had to attach it was at the back, I just used some gaffer tape. As I said it's all out of sight.

One other thing I might do is stick some on the hardboard spare wheel cover .

Cheers
Tim

 

Cheers Tim.
