Cabin noise

RiCharlie

I was surprised to find no sound deadening at all in the doors.. I did the hatch and got limited dampening....but the doors made the big difference.

Its fine now but I really, really like quiet in the car as I go on long drives and sometimes my wife or I want to nap in the passenger seat..so when the tires wear out I am switching to Continental Extreme contacts..i have asked enough people and there seems to be good reason to believe these will also reduce the noise..

I really have come to believe that Nissan did not add sound dampening because they want to differentiate this car from the G35 and G 37 and cabin noise is one of the ways...

I had positive results from doing the door & trunk area; there would have been even better results from doing the floor too but I didn't feel it was necessary.

Are you going to lose a bit on the performance side going with the continental Extreme contact? I have a set of Continental (not sure if it's the extreme ones) on my Altima and they do last a very long time.

I was reading my own post and had to laugh at myself...who else buys a sports car and then posts about wanting to take a nap in it!

Guard Dad

My first car was a '65 Mustang that my Dad purchased new in May of '64. The tuner market wasn't as mature then as it is now but I still did a LOT* of stuff to that car but the one thing I never did was add sound deadener. Fast forward 44 "short years" and I'm adding sound deadener, bad things CAN happen to good people!

That car was so loud (the headaches started at 45 minutes but the first 44 minutes and 59 seconds were heaven) that when I came home late I would cut the engine a 1/2 block away and coast up to our house, good times!
