Sound - proofing...

1. What have u done to quiet your car? (pls., with all respect to your pwr, teen 3kW stereotypes, please do not...)

I've done a lot, heres one noisypoint I found:

2. One 'interesting' rear noise source amplifier DE-SIGNED by nissan engineers: originally maxima, bluebird, (whatelse?) do come with drums for the roadnoise. Taking 'em off, will make some difference:
Take back seat backpart off. On both corners where back shocks are attached, there are black rubber drums. The 'wall' -part is the rigid vibration conductor from road - strut bolts, and the round elastic top is the drum's noise reproducing film.

Take that rubberboot oompah off, fill the place with plush garment or smtg which dampens, not amplifies.

I put picked up 3 rolls of 'peel and seal'. It's a sealer for roofs that it mad out of tar/rubber with and aluminum side on it. You peel and and stick it on. I did it to my doors, trunk lid, and will do my trunk space. I noticed a HUGE cut in road noise. It's been done before and I think it's great. It'll add 10 pounds to ur car. about .75 horse power lose correct? lol. Makes a good weather seal to.

I can hear police siren inside mi head at that speed. Still got lisence, u know...

Some sharp pics u have there.

Weight problem? Noooo. Less than one small kid... better to define your own noises. [eh, what did I say about kids & noises, poor thin king...]

-----------------------------------------------------------

I did that with glued double plush -garment; although doors have anti rust all over, so soundproofing has to done into the doorpanels.

Worst place for road noise in maxima is the open metals 'seen' ! on drivers left foot (wheel well area) & passenger side also, quite a stereopiano boxes half covered with plastic. Another conductor is the trunk inside 'roof'

a,b,c pillars conduct road noise to the master drum (=roof), glued those...
+ cabin floor

Now, quietness on demand.
