Hmm yours is the Conti or Goodyear tyres?

Yeah the dynamat does helps a lot on the noise reduction. I installed 9pcs.. 3 pieces on 4 doors. 3 pieces on the interior floorr, 2 pieces for front & back mudguards and 1 piece for the boot area..

Totally understand about the working overseas feeling, me too going often. But do check it out our forum at www.hc3msia.com when u do have time to come.

Just called my SA and she told me there will be car allocation at jalan 222 HC...
but duno will have mine or not haha >.< so exciting now ~

Wish you all the best. Hope you get your ride soon.. Join us on our journey of the Power of Dreams.. hehe

guys, my centre glove box very loose. everytime like going through hump faster, or going through uneven road faster, it will "auto" open. very annoying la. anyone having this problem? any solution ar?

Really that noisy? I don't notice much noise from mine. In fact is it very quiet for me compared to local or korean cars.

So far haven heard anyone facing this problem

Sent back to SC to ask them to check on the lock of the glove compartment. Shouldn't be a big issue...

Or you got used to the sound and don't notice anymore.. hehe

Maybe we can have a field test... get several types of cars (all city):
1. Changed Tyres without soundproofing
2. Changed Tyres with soundproofing
3. No tyre change without soundproofing
4. No tyre change with soundproofing

Then we can know the noise level.. hehe

Using goodyear ones...i think the conti ones would b better. i think the doors n mudguard areas are key points to install. alrites will check it out bro.

i often drive without music turned on and when u touch 60kmh and above u get a lot of road noise. imho i think the NVH on the current vios is better. maybe due to its tire brand and how much insulation it has comparing to the city. try opening your bonnet and look at the insulation HM uses to insulate the noise at the firewall and u'll understand why.

Totally agreed with u that the goodyear tyres indeed are the noisy ones.. Try changing to michelin PP2 or PS3.. Definately will be much much quiet..

Yup the doors and mudguards are key areas which generates the noise..

Funny thing is.. the stock goodyear tyres isn't grip tyres but generate much more noise than a grip tyres. haha.. yokohama a.drive r1 is grip tyres which generates noise but not as loud as the stock goodyears...

Anyway soundproofing really reduces the noise... hehe.. im a happy owner of dynamat..

mine is goodyear lol...at 80kmh, the wind noise is more noisy than the tyre noise.

Where to get dynamat sound proofing? How much? Can get at HT auto?

Yokohama A.Drive R1 is slightly better than stock Continental and much improve after changing normal air to NO2.

where do we install the soundproofing stuff? all the 4 doors? or the whole cabin like doors, bonnet, boot and roof?

Hmmm most of the accessories shop do sell and install soundproofing. You can do all the 4 doors. Whole cabin etc.. Roof also can but i didn't cause not much impact on the road noise.. roof is only affected when raining.

pitstop in sunway pyramid has a promo for 4 doors only rm298 if im not mistaken. not sure of the brand and quality

There are many brands out there in the market. So far i only trust the well-known brand which is either Dynamat or Accumat.

Those other brand of soundproofing materials, i dare not trust.. hehe

if install whole cabin cover which part? under the seat also?

guys .. just wondering.

how come each time i start the car - the number of beep sound varies ?

It depends on how soon did you wear your seatbelt.
Default it is 6 beeps.
