minivin Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well, I know a Series is meant to be noisy, but I do have my limits and perfect hearing that I wish to try to retain Rather than ear plugs, coz I hate them and the tendency to run out of them when you least expect it, I've been thinking of fitting some noise absorption blankets or material to the bulkhead et cetera to quieten the experience. Any hints on what to get, what's best, what to avoid??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glue Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 camping mat I'll second that, its reduced the noise in mine brilliantly. Also I recommend using Copydex to stick it up with, its the only thing I've found that copes with the temperature range. Glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istruggle2gate11 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Any hints on what to get, what's best, what to avoid??? Oh dear! A jump to coiler side is coming? Get: A Range Rover Avoid: FC101 Whats Best?: Anything that is hose downable, avoid carpets etc for the obvious internal frost and smells. I found old National Coal Board conveyor belting to be fantastic but it is rather heavy. What about the kits in the mags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glue No More Nails no good then tempted to give it a go just under the footwells for the moment and see how that works, easy to get at for a start, will also stop the rocks and stones hitting the underside there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the kits in the mags? nahhhhhh, even though my neighbour has offered a 90CSW I will resist Was trying to keep away from the magazine companies and see what alternatives come up, with the LT77 conversion coming a lot of the mag' stuff will probably not fit properly once I've done the conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I would have a chat with Big 'Bathtub' Pete - about using expanded foam. He's an expert in sound-proofing (his head at least ) with the stuff! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I came accross this firms products the other day. If it's for flat area coverage then this rubber might just be the ticket. Here's the web address but it really doesn't show the products very well. http://www.allrubber.co.uk/index.asp Probably best to phone up. They have all sorts of patterns and gauges. I can't remember what the price was of the example that I came accross but do remember thinking it wasn't a bad price. Having said that, this place is just down the road from me so I would just pick up direct. The rubber is quite heavy so might make it too expensive by the time it's delivered.

Gary Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I just remembered that Lara from this forum used a liquid from NoiseKiller, (I think)............. Seem to remember him saying on one of the forums that he was really impressed with the results and it's wasn't too expensive might be worth dropping him a PM to find out more details. Good Luck with your noise reduction quest g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck with your noise reduction quest g I used noisekiller liquid on my 110. Painted the roof inside, rear floor and wheel boxes, second row floor and front door insides, 2 coats all round using 4 litres. A messy job needs to be done in a warm environment for best results. It dries a light grey colour. I have no panel drumming and no roof condensation what so ever. I am very pleased with the effect.

Jon White Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Wright offroad do ready made, custom moulded matting to fit your floors/trans tunnel etc. Just live with it in my opinion. Much easier to hose out that way...... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Think I'll have to try someone elses 109 and see how noisy it is, might ask Andy at work here if i can borrow his civilianised ex-MoD FFR (not Army, but MoD) that's still got the 2.25 petrol 24V lump in it and the same tyres as mine, would give a good comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
