Damping Cabin Noise: Chapter 5
Let's see, I titled and licensed my coupe in 2021. It is great fun in so many ways. Hearing protection is a constant concern. I've installed a Rugged Radios headset, which works in some ways, but is awkward for the casual rip down the street on a Sunday or with a novice in the PS. 3M ear plugs are in my "glove compartment".
Prior chapters in this saga have included various appliques (e.g.: Quadmat, Bimat, Second Skin, carpeting, ..., etc), ditching the FFR side exhaust (in favor of Gas'N), removing the "Big Ears" and other tweaks.
Now I am going after the "Big Bass Drum", which is the space under the hatch. That space catches and amplifies tire noise, differential noise (Moser), exhaust noise and general road noise. Sitting in the cabin, all the sound is coming from behind one's head. This is a product of the chassis / sheet metal design IMO
So ... I am building a partition, or a bulkhead, behind the seats to isolate that big base drum. Kinda done with the design, BUT I thought to ask this esteemed community for any input or links to similar work by others to keep me between the lines. Be glad to share that design or templates to others trying to keep tinnitus at bay :-) Haha
Winter projects ... Hope yours are similarly fun, and challenging!!
