Sound deadening in an A7...

[Ruairidh Dunford]

Do any members have experience of fitting sound deadening into their cars, can you reccomend one type over another?

As recommended on this forum, the basic camping mat. Does not absorb water, easy to shape with a Stanley knife and certainly helps reduce noise levels. Argos currently list a "Litchfield" camping mat, I presume it is as compatible with a Seven as with an Austin Ten.

I have some of those, thank you.

Makes a good heat insulator as well I used some rolls of it in the roof of my camper van
Proper sound deadening closed cell foam is a bit denser though?

Yes, the heavier the better; and it's important to fit it well so there are as few and as small gaps as possible.

As an aside, I use a bit of camping mat under the rather thin seat cushion I need in the Ulster to fit into it comfortably - saves the bum bone a bit on long hauls.

The Norfolk remedy is ear plugs.

THE ESSEX ANSWER IS TO TURN UP THE STEREO (OR PUT A BIGGER TRUMPET ON THE GRAMOPHONE)
