Sound proofing.
 

Getting a lot of road noise,apart from under tray which i haven't got,what else would make my drive quieter. :shrug:

I’ve fitted a lot of extra sound insulation to the back end of both my 75’s

I’ve stuffed all the remaining apertures up with cushions filling. The missus bought it to make cushions then it sat for years so I pinched it :eek:

I’ve also fitted a good quality carpet underlay in and around the spare wheel well and tailored pieces behind the boot side trims.

It made a difference to the road noise.

I’ve still to fit an extra piece under the rear seat of my project car when I get round to re fitting the seat cushion.

I have heard that tyres have different noise ratings :shrug:

Wind deflectors are noisy if fitted:shrug:

Fact!

A V6 75 :D

A bit of extra sound proofing can do no harm but the main culprits are the tyres.
Rover did quite a good job of the original soundproofing but of course they fitted good quality tyres.---Some replacement tyres can make quite a lot of noise from the off.---;)

Hi Jon, I looked for quiet tyres and found Michelin all climate tyres were quiet. On the downside they can aquaplane in wet weather. Despite that I was thinking of getting some.
Which tyres are quiet and also have good grip? Thanks.

Dunlop sport response are very good all round tyres and nice and quiet. One of the quietest out there.

I've fitted Firestone tyres ever since I bought the car 11 years ago. Good wet grip and reasonably quiet tyres.

At least I think so but my wife keeps telling me I'm going deaf.--:D
