Effective sound deadening

FZI89 · 04-25-2024, 12:58 PM

Installed some T-shaped door seals today primarily to enhance the door closing sound, but was pleasantly surprised by how effective they are at reducing road noise!

Sound level before installation

At standstill: 40-43 dB
At 50kmh: 57-59 dB

Sound level after installation

At standstill: 36-38 dB
At 50kmh: 52-55 dB

Interesting! Did you stick it all around the doors or just at the top?
