The Land Rover Defender is an icon of adventure, known for its durability and capability in the most challenging terrains. However, its rugged design often comes with significant noise inside the cabin, which can be a challenge for long journeys or expeditions. When the ROVE team prepared for their epic journey from South Africa to England and beyond, they knew soundproofing was essential.
Why the ROVE Team Chose Noisekillers for Defender Soundproofing
Mary Hannah and Andy, the ROVE expedition team, sought a reputable soundproofing company that could handle the unique demands of their Defender 110, affectionately named Tango. They discovered Noisekillers, a family-owned business known for its high-quality soundproofing kits tailored specifically for Land Rovers.
Here’s why Noisekillers was their top choice:
- Custom Fit: Each piece of the soundproofing material was hand-cut on-site to fit Tango perfectly.
- Quick Installation: The entire process was completed in just a few hours.
- Remarkable Results: The soundproofing reduced cabin noise by an impressive 10.5 dB.
Soundproofing Tango: The Process
The Noisekillers team focused on key areas of the Defender to maximise noise reduction:
- Bonnet and Engine Bay: Engine blankets were installed to tackle engine noise whilst Vibrasorb was used on the underside of the bonnet.
- Seat Box and Front Floors: Materials were laid to minimise vibrations and road noise.
- Rear Section: The rear cabin was treated to ensure a quieter experience for passengers.
The results transformed the vehicle, making it a comfortable space for spending months on the road.
ROVE’s Verdict: Soundproofing Makes All the Difference
“When the moment of truth came to hear the difference for ourselves, we were blown away. The results spoke for themselves. It finally felt (and sounded) like a vehicle we could spend 9+ months in, day in and day out, during our expedition,” Mary Hannah and Andy shared.
Their journey shows how effective soundproofing can make a Defender not just a capable off-roader but also a comfortable and quiet space for adventure.
