Lots of replies on this subject on other threads.
I fitted noise killer which works , but not as good as dynamat . Also had problems when the summer heat baked the car , it fell off , had to use foam adhesive to stick back , stayed put since though. Dynamat needs carpets over it , my opinion ..... For me between the engine bay and cab is loudest , noise killer does not fit there . |

Agree with Cakey. NK and Dynamat both have their strengths. I have a mix of both (and in some places doubled-up).
NK is great at quietening the noise of wet-road spray under the rear wheelarches. Dynamat is good inside the front seat boxes (i.e. round the battery, and likewise under the cubby box and drivers seat. It's also good for inside doors etc. I have a full NK kit, and lots of extra Dynamat (and carpets), and mine's lovely and quiet 
People say NK absorbs water into the foam middle of the sandwich. I can't see Dynamat liking regular dousing too much either tho. Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Man up!! Years of Series then Defender driving never hurt my hearing!
Eh, what, uh? 
Besides, anyone know where I can get a decent burr walnut shelf made to fit in our Defender, our sherry aperitif is often ruined as the cut crystal glasses keep falling off these damned curvy Puma dashboards. Also looking for some mats with 'wipe your feet before you get in' on them to fit on our side bars, or how about some fold down boot scrapers - anyone?

Made me laugh.
I agree, I knew exactly what to expect having had two series land rovers in the past. Part of the charm! But on a long journey (it isn't unusual for me to do 400 miles a day) it is quite noisy and so some reduction in the din is probably a good plan as it is being used as my daily driver and I'd still like to be able to hear in 20 years time! Thanks for advice - think I'll probably opt for a bit of a mixture of solutions and see where I get to. |
