Sound proofing to reduce tyre noise

[stargate]

The noise that I don't like especially driving on the road eg Federal Highway towards Subang. I also noticed those Plus highway with cement will generate a lot of noise.

Any soundproofing material specially for the wheel arch ?

use superlon on ur wheel arc... 10mm will do...

u need to jack up ur car then remove de plactic arc cover.. clean it with damp cloth then stick superlon on it... (de superlon facing inside ur fender....)

and i sell SuperLon :)

10mm and 6mm
standard width is 4ft
sold every 3ft :)
and can be 6,9,12,15ft etc..

price per 3ftx4ft
10mm RM20
6mm RM15

 

[stargate]

So how much noise reduction (%) can I expect just by sticking superlon on the wheel arch only?

but according to alot of forummers who bought and installed, they're quite happy :)

Why dont ya get the complete car installed with sound dampening material. Material used is of automotive spec with warranty against any defects ects plus it carries a product liability insurance which is very important to the consumer. PM me for further details. For more info check this out--->

tylo... sound dampening for protong cars you put how many also still bising... why i know this... coz i drive one.

superlon and insulflex would be a good choice as they are:
a) cheap
B) light

other brands especially dynamat and brown bread will make your car heavy... why i say this again coz i have it. a role of 9 sqft or insulflex may weigh around as same as 4 pieces of dynamat 4 sqft. that's why i only use dynamat for doors (but hey... not yet tampal... got to send car for "urut" first).

only down thing about insulflex is the thickness... how to do my floor... i also still pening but the changes were alot when i sticked it at my lugguage compartment no more rattling sound ;)

try solving one part first and see the difference then choose your product ;)

I suggest you to change to more quite tires first.

wat type of tyres are considered quiet?

 

[khguan]

those with many straight lines..

but of course de performance is not as good as those tyres meant for cornering n wet driving...

That's what I heard from the tyre shop also. You want quiet, got to sacrifice performance (grip). Another tyre feature to look for is those with fine gaps which generate less road noise.

yep... dats rite!! B)

 

[blue_hippo]

i did mine and defit...cut down the sand noise

 

[khguan]

when rain... u will also notice greatly reduced water noise from ur tyre.. :)
