Road noise

sonic370 · 09-14-2010, 07:23 PM

I know this should be in the tire section.Just wanted to vent. I expect some road noise it's part of the deal i can live with it. But i've only got about 8,000
on these Bridgestone tires and i swear they get louder everyday. I had hoped to get 20,000 out of them but i don't think i can go that long.

Tires do become louder as they wear.

Really? Wow, this is going to be a loud car then... I've only had my Nismo for a couple of weeks and have really noticed the road noise relative to my 95 300ZX. However the car is a blast to drive, so bring the road noise on, it just means I'm having fun!!!!

20K? 15K if you are lucky!

I got 18k out of mine. And yes, they do get a lot louder as they wear.

if you get more than 15K out of the tires, you're not driving right.

Dynamat is your friend. The road noise was about drive me nuts until I Dynamatted.

That sounds good. I just put in a new set of speakers should have done it then.
I'll go back and do the doors.What other areas did you do. And did you do one or two layers.

I did the back end first. That's what really reduced the noise. I did the doors last week and didn't really see much reduction in noise, but it changed the sound from the front speakers.
Just did one layer throughout. That was a big enough pain to get in. It's not really that hard, it's just tedious and I'm short, so I had to keep crawling in and out of the car to reach everywhere.

Just put the top down. It's not so bad then...

We'd need the Nissan can opener option for that.

About Dynamat, It seems to be a good solution. Which kit and size did you use in back end section? Thanks.

I bought the bulk kit 10455 from Amazon. It has 9 sheets which was enough for the back and the doors. I've actually still got a little left that I'm going to use to fill in holes.
