this is inside the boot lid. I did a little customizing with aerosol bedliner here, should reduce some noise, I hope!


 I can tell you from experience that aerosol undercoating inside the doors and other body panels drops the road noise significantly!  I did to a car of mine years ago to help sharpen up the bass and it made a world of difference!  Just be sure to tape off the workings for the windows before spraying!

Good advice. I almost forgot about the rest of the panels mentioned. It's not as if I'm looking to create a system on wheels, I'm a bit too old for that, and todays music just dosen't justify the expense of all that equipment. That's my opinion, let's not get too involved with that. I do still like to hear loud, clean, crisp music from time to time ( could be why my hearing isn't so good lol).

Having reduced the noise by any means will make longer rides a bit more enjoyable I think.

John,

My car is not very loud at all when cruising along...it's easy to have a conversation on the highway, but when I push the gas pedal it is loud.  I don't have a radio and don't plan on ever putting one in, but I like the induction sound and what I can hear of the exhaust sound.

Are you going to put dynamat in Bertie?  There has been some threads on it on the Mini Mania board - people are happy with the quieting. Not sure how much that stuff costs though.

I do have a complete carpet kit with all new padding as well. Since Bertie isn't hopped up with extra bits to make him any louder then original noise levels, I would hope that will do....for now anyway.

I on the other hand will be upgrading the stereo a bit. None of that bassy crazy stuff by any means, Just thought a CD player was due to take over where the old Rover cassette player is now.
