I know most of you guys over the pond are more concerned about blocking heat rather than sound but I’m hoping somebody has some good suggestions for the latter. My car is relatively stripped out plus it has straight cut gears, a side exhaust, triple Weber’s and a rally cam. The result is a lot of noise which is amplified by the hard top. I know Healey noise is great but I’ve reached the stage where I’d like a quieter cockpit when I’m driving to events.
Dynamat extreme seems to get good reviews. I’ve looked at some videos of theirs which show the product deadening the sound of symbols and doors closing with a thud rather than a tinny sound. I’m no physicist so I don’t know if deadening the resonance of sheet metal is the same as preventing engine and gearbox noise penetrating the cockpit or whether that requires a different product/solution. The gearbox tunnel is fibreglass so is not going to behave the same way as sheet metal.
Look forward to hearing your experiences, comments, ideas and suggestions.
cheers
