Sound proofing your berlingo
#11
Never had any rattles at all,and with a layer of dynamat on the roof under the lining even the heaviest downpour is quiet.Did I mention the plastic wheel arches have a layer of dynamat on the inside of the guard to deaden,and the outside is covered with rubber backed industrial grade carpet to minimize road noise from wet roads and flicking stones.
You can do a basic sound proofing job to hear yourself think and have a conversation in the car or a complete job from front to back like I have done for luxurious peace and quiet. And when I'm listening to music I hear every frequency nothing is canceled out from road,tyre or drive train noise.I just tested the sound level on a wet road at 80km/hr and the reading was 57 decibels.

I know my Lingo is not going to be as noisy as a diesel as far as engine noise goes.

I think soundproofing under the rear rubber floor in will make a huge difference.

I am definitely going to look into it, also put some inside the doors all round, perhaps putting it behind the headlining is a bit overkill.

To be honest though the Berlingo is not as noisy as some vans or van conversion MPVs.

Finally did my DIY for sound proofing. Can feel a slight difference but now comes another problem.. The engine noise to loud.. lol

I did rear floor and front doors. Next prob the fenders but not sure how to isolate the engine noise to the cabin. Raoughy know its the firewall? But where should I access to paste the matts from (Engine bay or Cabin)?

Engine noise is a difficult one, I'd work under the bonnet first rather than inside the cab.

Firstly it would be worth looking for any obvious holes where sound can enter the cab, access holes for wiring looms, cables, hydraulic pipes etc etc oh and make sure the gear lever gaiter is fully home.

It only takes a small hole to allow a lot of noise in .... some years ago I had a hole in the gear lever gaitor and when doing a long trip the noise was irritating so as a temporary measure I enlarged the hole and stuffed a rag in there and the noise levels were transformed for the better.
