D.I.Y. Sound Proofing

P1050605

10mm Superlon attached under front bonnet:

Bad insulator of heat & sound.

Result: Engine sound was greatly reduced. If another layer of this on the firewall(layer between the engine and cabin) will be perfect.

P1050607 

6mm on 4 door trim

P1050613

Bitumen Tape:

Strengthens metal body.

Door sound closes from TOK to DUP & heavier.

Reduces high frequency noises.

P1050612

Approx 7 strips of Bitumen tapes attached in the door frame.

 

Completed the whole car in 8 hours. (0900 –> 1700)

Overall it was pretty worthwhile, besides the noticeable effect, it is an interest as well.
