Thread: Soundproofing the wheelarches

Well that's two litres of extremely black, gooey and hopefully sound-deadening paint onto the front two wheelarches.

Decibel levels before:

0kmph 57db
60kmph 67db
100kmph 74db

Normal conversation is 60db.

(mine is somewhat soundproofed already, add about 4db for a standard TD5 Defender)

it's drying at the moment, will see how it goes tomorrow. It seems 1L does one coat of two wheelarches. My coats are pretty thick, I must admit. Got two more tins for the rear wheelarches. Well, wheelboxes.

Sidenote; the wheel alignment place was a bit enthusiastic with the rattle gun. Had to use the Persuader (the original wombat bar) slotted onto the wheelbrace to free a few of the nuts.

Hi RMP
Save a few mills of that goo,pour it into each ear canal.
Hey presto the Landy is as quiet as a new roller [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
