Hi guys!
Been reading these forums for a year and finally joined. I've searched these forums and heaven't really found an answer for eliminating noise inside the cab -- so I figured I'd start a thread. if this is covered already and has been answered will someone please link me the thread?
I'm converting my 2018 transit to be a mobile recording studio-- so when I sound deadened the back I figured it would make a big difference in road noise. It did not. I also want to upgrade the wheels and tires to something more beefy so I know the road noise will just get worse. This is a problem.
Since I bought swivel seats from scopel and i have to take out the seats anyway i figured I Would just take out all the trim to the metal and sound deaden that with some butyl and 1/4" closed cell foam. I also got some of the wheel well liners for the front exterior wheel wells, and plan to deaden those as well.
I also have a bunch of thinsulate but don't really know if that's overkill or it will even fit on the cab floor. Maybe i'll save it for the back.
Basically I'm on a mission to make the cab as quiet as possible. Any and all suggestions would be great. Thanks for reading this much
