Nissan Maxima: 99 max GLE...How can I reduce outside noise

Take off your kick panels and see if the factory insulation is still in
there. Sometimes people removing aftermarket audio equipment rip it out
as they are selling/trading it in anyway. Your car should be pretty
quiet if everything is original.

I'll check that in the morning, but it seems like most of the outside noise
is entering through the back of the vehicle.

Close the trunk when you drive.

Great Tip!

Seriously though, the am now certain that most of the noise is coming
through the trunk / back seat area. I think I'm going to try lining the
inside of the trunk and the rear parcel shelf with that Dynamat stuff (noise
deadener material) and apply some rubberized undercoating inside the wheel
wells and maybe under the trunk as well. I post the results in case anyone
else has the same issue.

Does the car have the original 15" rims? If so, maybe the tires are worn
out. Bigger rims and fatter, old tires tend to transmitt more road noise
to the cabin.

I had allot of noise, but found I had no "trunk mat" (bought the car used
and looked in the trunk and saw no carpet but did not realize it would be so
noisy without it) in my trunk, I bought one off ebay for a different model,
did not fit perfect but did the trick, basically I just had a trunk with no
carpet in it...the carpet piece helped on the noise a good bit....

Yes, the rims are original and the tires are brand new...GoodYear Triple
Treads...the latest from GoodYear. They seems to be slightly less noisy
than the cheap tires it had when I bought the car, but still too noisy for
my taste.

I do have the trunk mat in there, but the current noise level is as if there
wasn't one. I am now in the process of lining the trunk with Dynamat
(between the carpet and the metal). It's super expensive stuff though, so I
really hope I get the results to justify the cost.

Thanks,
David
