Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Road Noise

Is there anyway i can get rid of a lot of this damn road noise!

my car is pretty much covered from front to back in dynamat. . .

i have kumo ecsta 712's. . . . its making me want to sell my car and get a lux sport car like an S4 or new M3 .. . goddamnit .. .

when i put my windows up .. . there has to be a stereo on other wise the noise in unbearable. is there anything i can do?

don't drive

You need the stuff that Toyota uses on the Camry & Avalon. It's specificaly designed to keep road noise out. It's kind of a sound dampening matt.

Buy different kinds of tires. Some are louder than others.

when you bought ur car, did they tell you that they sprayed some black coating stuff on the bottom of the car to keep road noise out? or atleast lessen it?? check it..if it doesn't have the black stuff on the bottom then that's waht you need..if it does..NO clue how to help u.

is that what the black stuff is for?
i thought it was like to prevent rust corrosion and stff?

when i bought my car, the road noise was very loud, i thought the alignment was off, but it ended up being the toe on the tires so they gave me new tires under warrenty and fixed that since then my road noise was decreased by 90% i would look into that. so if your camber or toe is off, even your alignment it will sound bad.

i dont care about noise it makes.

only $13000, i am happy with it.

or if your tires are cupping.

^^that too...

i was thinking you could deflat your tires a little bit to give it more grip and make less noise...

I'd think that would be bad for the tires...though I know most racers deflate their street tires a bit for their runs..

i dont mean flatten the tires ...just let a little air out to make a smoother ride...

i dunoo try it...i ain't got a car

im gettin rear cambers this weekend, just bought em. but that black stuff is under the car and its already wrapped from front to back in dynamat. . except driver side floor. . . . . . hmmmmmm ill figure somthing out. .

Dynamat is for vibration control, not deadening of sound.

You need a composite mat that will form a barrier agains't sound. Also, a hoodliner will help.

Try places like www.cascadeaudio.com [cascadeaudio.com] or industrial supply places for sound barriers.
