whats the best way to remove car noises

[kalvick]

obviously im not getting rid of my loud mods, when my window are down I want to hear it!

but when im just cruising and the windows are up, I want it to be quiet.
I am thinking I want to Dynamat (or other generic soundproofing) the car. but i dont want to add alot of weight to the car. so i want something in the compromising range.

should i just dynamat the doors? or the trunk? or just the floor? Where is the most noise coming from? should i just attack that area or should i bite the bullet and do the whole thing.

I dont care about super loud thumping bass, i just want to quiet the car down. if that helps.

That would be a good idea. There are also other brands that i hear are pretty good. I too have thought about doing this. It would make it super quiet on the int. when the windows are up.

strip your interior and apply this.

wish I would have done it when I stripped mine to put in new carpet.

I'm going to follow this guys routine:
Dynamat install, NVH Reduction. Lots of pictures. - ModularFords.com

If you have any rattles and sqeaks, you could have a buddy drive the car, so you can pin point the souce and trouble shoot that way. At least the interior. If you have an aftermarket catback or an off road mid, you won't ever get rid of any interior noise, and hardly make a dent in reducing the dB's any of the exhaust. But you can eliminate road noise and wind noise and any other noise the car makes pretty easily. Just takes lots of time and money.

Dynamat underneath the rear seat and the trunk area closest to the rear seat. That will kill the majority of your cabin noises with minimal weight.

If you really want to quiet things down, it gets heavy and expensive but the entire floor, trunk, doors, and the firewall (though it gets a little too warm there dynamat likes to spooge in high heat)
