Quiz about interior noise
I recently test drove a 350Z and found the interior noise level, particularly on interstate, to be very loud. I drove a '78 280z for 18 years and don't remember that much road noise. The '96 Pathfinder I currently drive is quieter.
Has anyone installed dynamat, brown bread or another of the sound deadening products and found a dramatic reduction of road noise?

I applied liquid Fatmat as a sound deadener inside the rear hatch, around the rear strut bar, above the muffler, and in the wheel wells and it made a huge difference, as you say a dramatic reduction in road noise, a much more enjoyable ride and well worth the effort.

I used liquid stuff but from a company called Second Skin Audio
I applied it all in the hatch area. In the 2 compartments behind the seats and in the doors. really helped with the road noise..
Used about 2gallons... thats about 18lb worht of weight added. worht it tho... It has no smell and dries dark grey....
EASY to apply to!

Exactly. It's not a luxury car; it's a true sports car. I 86'd the passenger seat, the spare tire, and jack 45 minutes after taking delivery. I didn't buy this car to take my grandma to the general store.

Yea from what i heard nissan did this on purpose.same reason they just made it a 2 seater....i hate it when people complain about room.like when they compare the Z to the rx8 ,they give the rx8 the edge cuz of the extra seats...it makes my blood boil....nissan didn't add seats in the rear(thank god) on purpose,Should have thought about that before you bought it.I'll admit it is noisy but i like that you can hear the v6.

what i did was went to my local dollar store and bought some 5 dollar twin bed egg crate foam, the stuff you sleep on on your mattress. bought two of them and then lined the spare tire well in the fashion that the first layer went crate side up and then the second layer went crate side down to create an air pocket area. much like the areas inside a theater or sound studio. did a very nice deading job. i even put the spare tire back in and then covered everything back up with the trunk plastic thingy and then the carpet. cant even tell its in there.

If I want to hear road noise or my exhaust, I'll roll down my windows. There is nothing better than a stealth car - lightening fast but very subtle about it and very liveable.

I'm so used to my previous heavily modded evo8, but this car is quiet as hell compared to that. My tires are feathering to hell too, and the road noise from those are so much less than my Yoko advans on my evo
