Subject:      Rear hatch vibration  Why all vanagon sound alike
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Hi list,


Has anyone out there with the camper covered the hatch with beutel  adhesive sound proofing?  What was the result on vibration?


The other day I was looking at the engine hatch area contemplating sound proofing when I took my fist and gently struck the lid.  I quickly realized that if I did a Vanagon engine tempo it sounded as if my engine was actually running. I always wondered why no matter what engine was in a vanagon I heard something similar in the sound.  I now think it is all those engine lids acting like a deep drum. 


No matter what engine some part of the vibration will make that familiar lid drum sound! 


Except mine once I figure it out. 


Still looking at the decoupled mass loaded vinyl but I have a lot to learn.
