New carpet, soundproofing, and dynamat – any tips?
http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?43...namat-any-tips
My sound insulating project is already complete. It took several years of daily driving the D and adding sound insulating when I wasn't busy doing other stuff. Please read the above thread for my comments. I’m happy to answer more.
I have the original exhaust with a hollowed out catalytic converter. I can’t do anything about the engine noise (sound) that passes through the rear window. Sometimes I wish there was less engine noise while idling at a stop light. With all that sound insulating I now notice more wind noise from the bottom of the doors. They don’t seal well at all.
Try this. Open your doors and lay a sheet of paper on top of the carpeted door sill and rubber door seal. Now close your doors. Now pull on the paper. You will notice no resistance since the rubber seal doesn’t actually reach the stainless steel door.

My VIN: loading, please wait...
mildly related: this happens on my Jeep. the hard top has vents in the back, but the soft top doesnt. when the soft top is on, the air has to find little cracks around the door and vinyl windows to seep out and makes a light whistling sound. it also inflates the soft top and makes the top bubble upward.
if i crack a window it stops as well.
