Sound proofing
 

Sound proofing on our cars must be quite good. From inside the car I thought I only had one horn, in fact having had the bumper off I have two and both work. One is high tone and the other low tone

maybe you only have high tone hearing:shrug:
Or your low tone ears are being muffled by your socks.:D

lol. standing outside the car the horns are loud but inside a bit meek

Don't worry.....that only matters if you're pipping another 75 owner......and we wouldn't want to do that would we.

Good Horns.
 

On Sunday I was out in the 75, I saw what looked like a young girl carrying a bag of bits and bobs, as she was walking a card fell out. It doesn't take Einstein to spot the shape of a greetings card in a Red envelope. As I was very close I hit the horns, the poor girl jumped. I looked in the mirror and she'd turned around and seen the dropped card, I'm sure I gave her a fright but she got back her card, It may have been hers and filled with money or a gift. The 75 Horns saved me having to stop, they are a great sound.

Our cars are quiet, hmm, apparently my son reckons the engine is loud in my CDTI. The problem for me is I wear a hearing aid, this really does amplify sounds inside the cabin so I don't know if what he says is correct or not

my 01 PPD 75 CDT is MUCH quieter than my 04 CDTI ZT...

Tyres aside the soundproofing is greatly reduced...

I have a 56 plate cdt and I reckon the engine is quiet....at least from inside the car

I agree with that Klarzy. My 04 CDti facelift is very noisy compared to the 01 CDT I had before.

I have bought a soundproofing kit, and some extra Dodomat 6mm sheets to soundproof my 2005-build CDTi - I agree that the late cars are much less refined than the early PPD cars.

I'll try to put some feedback on the forum, once I can find time to fit the kit.
