Is there a way to make my interior quieter? I've heard of Dynamat, wondering if anyone has tried that or other methods. Of course, I'm due for new tires soon and that may help as well.

Thanks,-Jesda

Investigate Soundcoat one member used. It's in the previous posts.

Well, it would be nice to reduce wind noise. I guess there isnt a whole lot of vibration. Maybe I could muffle the sounds of cars I pass on the interstate.

So Dynamat is only $11-$14?

I used dynamat in both front doors and it appears to have helped quiet the windnoise and the tinny sound of the doors themselves.

I would think new and really good weatherstrips would be the first thing..... My Q doesnt have much wind noise (a little, only if the radio is completely off)......

The 94-96 used thicker window panes than the 90-93....... Maybe you could upgrade???

Look in your area to see if anyone still does undercoating. I'm thinking of having mine done, just for appearance sake.

Undercoating....... Isnt that when they spray on stuff on the bottom of the car, like the husky liner stuff........

May not be a bad idea for indiana salt roads......!
