Hi

How can I damp the road noise on the Astra ?

Especially the noise from the tyres?

Regards

Numerous topics have covered this 'issue', the search function is not always helpfull, try searching in google with the following words: 'road noise site:www.astrakforums.co.uk' . In a nutshell, you can put a lot of effort in it by using bitumen and sound deadening mats in the trunk, but this will only lower the road noise a bit and never make it as quiet as a mercedes.

Have your tyres checked, one of our rears was old and had worn square. The noise was terrible, the mechanic spotted it immediately on road testing the car. New tyre sorted it. You can also buy sound dead in bing kits from eBay for around £80-90

I did the same, and I gotta say it made minimal difference. The biggest difference in noise is made by finding the right tyres and insulate the wheel arches (front and back).
