[QUOTE=Baddad53;30665]Tks for info. Looks like my sound deadening works from my readings compared to the ones you are getting

This is a post I did on 28 Feb on the noise level after adding the insulation. The effect of road surface has a large effect on road noise, so it is difficult to compare vehicles, especially using telephone apps.
We drove to Everglades National Park for the weekend to "shake down" our new Axis. Everything went very well. On the way there, my scan guage said that I got 12.0 mpg over about 50 miles at 55mph with the wind quartering behind us; on the way home, the scan guage said 10.8 mpg at 65 mph with a stiff wind from the side. I took some noise readings going home with an Apple app on my iPad and got readings of 68-70 db at 55 mph on a two lane good road. The app says that is "normal conversation" level and we could easily carry on a conversation without raising our voices. With the added insulation in the engine compartment, there is a very noticeable difference. It is significantly quieter than our 2014 Vegas
