Re: [DML] So let's quiet this baby down...




I have often thought about Dynamating the entire floor of the car to see how
quiet I can make it.  It would be pretty pricy, but I think it would work
wonders.  I used it on the rear wall of the car by sticking it on the other
side of the carpeted board, and it quieted the engine noise down in my early
'81 a lot.  I bought it at Best Buy in the car stereo department, and
apparently in the booklet that came with it they have a spray to get in hard
to reach areas to block noise.  I also had a rattle in my passenger door
that I could not get out to save my life, so I took off the interior panel
and put dynamat on the other side of that.  It quieted down the door, and
didn't appear to affect its opening at all, which was surprising.  I thought
it would weight the door down, but it still flies up.  Eventually I found
the rattle was the door lock rod for the exterior lock going through a
rectangular opening inside the door was rattling.  I adjusted the linkage,
and then I shot some rubber undercoating on that rod and around the opening
in the door, and it quieted it down almost completely.

Good luck, it can be a quiet car.
