Ceptik Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Strange question... How does one stop the 'clang' sound of a door shutting to a nice sounding, soft 'thunk'? I want that solid thump sound. Sound deadening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Strange answer... make sure the other doors not open, and the windows are shut....put the blower on full before you close the door....I would describe the resulting noise as a soft 'thunk' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Earplugs Having the windows down makes the noise more rattley, probably something to do with the winder mechanism being slack or something. Or you could fit an Audi door if you have a crane to lift it into place -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo1 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Remove your seatbelt buckle from the door sill before closing the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Dynamat , check door rubbers aswell. Also check the catch is still aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 hmmm. Some interesting answers there. Tbh, i wasn't expecting a life altering explanation. Dynamat then. Good point about the door rubbers. I'll check those out Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I get that nice clunk sound, they were like that when I got the car. If everthing is the way it was designed it should be like this. The dynamat has helped . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Excellent, thanks merckx. Im hopefully getting some sound damping pads from Ray soon so i'll smack these on the doors when i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The dynamat has helped . whilst hoping not to tempt any rude answers..where do you stick it? as in, on the reverse of the inner door skin, on the inside of the inner door skin? i cant see it goin between door trim panel and door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bctwoa Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 ' grasshoopper ' - be patient for the 'thunk' may seem a dilemma, yet all around there are many types of 'thunks' sounding here and there. If its a dull, minute soft whisper type then I find earplugs can be a great alternative. the wise one -bctwoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
