So, a big problem with the engine in our van is how noisy it can be whilst driving. Before we tackled soundproofing our cab, it was difficult to hold a conversation while travelling at full speed (50-60mph).
We used basic materials which are all readily available from DIY shops and the results are good, Idling decibals hav dropped by about 5-7db and, although we don't have exact figures for the improvement whilst at full speed, it has definitely improved. We can now talk while on the move without having to shout and each journey does not end with ringing in the ears!
A good result overall for a total cost of about £50.
An added bonus is that the cab is also now much warmer and better insulated.
