Hello folks,
New to here and was wondering if anyone would mind sharing their thoughts. I'm part way through the conversationprocess on a Renault Trafic and have a dilemma.
I have become paranoid/obsessed with reducing the in cab road noise that transmits from the rear now that the bulkhead has gone. So to that end I have gone round the side panels and roof with 2mm silent coat, then 50/25mm celotex (as much as can be fitted in large ish pieces without squeaking), then a layer of foil bubble wrap stuff, ply lining on top of this and then the carpet. The floor has has had a 8mm vinyl sound barrier underneath the ply floor. Now, I have only completed the drivers side fully, the passenger side still needs the carpet and the roof needs the ply and carpet (but does have silent coat).
I drove this the other day and was mildly disappointed with the road noise from the rear. Before I go any further and as I have yet to complete the passage side rear and roof does folk think this will reduce the road noise (a fair bit does seem to eminate from the roof) or should more be done.
Many thanks
Regards
