Sound deadening?

[0011728]

Anyone ever thought of improving the sound deadening on the doors of their car by trying to reduce road noise etc?

What are peoples thoughts on this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/P-Shape-4M...kAAOSwCWFY8Hl-

Yes completely have, its about £250-300 fitted

How much was the improvement? Was it worth it?

I’ve deadened some of my car mostly to get rid of subwoofer rattles, but putting deadening in the spare tyre well made most of the difference to raid noise. The cld tiles just stop vibrations it’s the closed cell foam that makes all the difference.

With the vectra b, the cdi model came with an extra rear door seal to reduce road noise, I wonder if they do anything this for the insignia.

Don’t all insignias have double door seals, my facelift has both front and rear

I'm not sure Neal, I haven't looked , it was just the first thing that came to mind.

I do think the insignia allows a fair amount of road noise in so I wouldn't mind carrying out some of this sound deadening.

As well as the sound it's bloody annoying that you get crap off the road coming up into the sills of the car past the bottom of the door. I wonder if these strips would stop that? Think I may give these a go if I get round to it

The only place I think these would be of benefit would be from the sill upwards along the rear door edge which gets manky.
My front sills etc are clean from existing seals, crap only builds up from bottom of rear door and up edge to window, worth a punt. May reduce noise too, but I think worst noise is from gap at front door to 'B' Pillar. May invest myself.

The insignia’s aren’t the best for sound proofing but then there a lot cheaper than a passat, i did think about a sound proofing kit there about £300 fitted but never got around to it and my facelift goes tomorrow [emoji112]

Do know what you mean about marky in the rear doors

00 where did you get sound proofing from?

Hi Neal, I haven't got any yet

interesting read, most of my driving is on a single/dual carriage way and the road noise is annoying, i have wind deflectors which helped slightly, i think i will sound deaden the spare wheel well as its an easy to reach area unlike the doors etc, will look into the door to b pillar area too, dont mind spending a little bit on the car as i intend to keep it til it dies

My new gs is real quiet compared to my facelift but still has road noise which appear to come fromtbe boot so it seems a simple/easy job to do, what does it cost?
