I was driving home yesterday and the noise from that back end was annoying at speeds of 55-70mph.. It's like the back glass/frame is made of paper... is there anyway to insulate the hatch area some, without having to invest in expensive Dynamat and the such?

thought bout stuffing my backend with some pillows and comforters

 

thats the way it is with these cars. wait till you run over some gravel or drive in the rain, those wheels wells churn out the noise, the sacrifice we make for driving a 2 seater rear wheel drive sports car. You'll get used to it, or maybe you should've got a G35/37.

yeah, guess I'll get used to it.. but it was actually raining yesterday and was worse then than before.. can only imagine what it must be like in a roadster..

oh, and the G35's and G37's are nice, but very expensive..

 

dynamat in the rear works pretty good i hear. jsut line the area where the spare tire is and you should diminish a bunch of noise. i also heard that brownstuff works pretty good as well.

 

what brownstuff?

 

paper bags duh!!!

Is it like a howling sound that you are hearing?

 

yes, pretty much.. it's not like a whistling sound or anything.. more like I can hear the car traveling over the roadway in the backend..

 

Does it happen right after you let up off accleration and you start to coast?

 

i knew it was brown something, but brown bread is the actual name

seems they changed the name also

no, I hear it all the time, no matter if accelarating or coasting.. but, it's more noticiable at 55mph or higher.. normal driving in the city i don't notice it much at all.. but I can hear vehicles next to me more so than when I drive my RX8

 

I recommend dynomat or edead.
It definitely made a difference, even with a loud *** exhaust.

 

My Z roadster is A LOT more quiet and smooth than my Z coupe.

 

Yeah, there's alot of road noise that comes from that area. I bought some b-quiet mat from ebay (cheaper than buying from their b-quiet site) and am planning to line the cargo area with it.

I let you know if its effective.

 

If you drove a 4 door sedan the wheel wells would not be inside the cabin.

 

I love that NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

you should sell and get a Prius.

 

What kind of tires do you have? Some tires are noisier than others.

I happen to like the noise.

 

I have stock tires on it
