   Got a 1.1, and I know it'll be at the top end of what I can achieve around the 70-80 mark, and this can be noticed with the amount of road noise, is there any simple sound proofing etc that I can do to make the 70mph journeys a bit more comfortable than having my music drowned out by road noise?
   
   Cheers

   They go faster! eventually lol
   Only thing you can do is sound deaden doors, floors, boot lid, ect. But this means more weight and more fuel used (more weight)
   I know what you mean though, there is so much noise even at 60

   Ahh, you reckon a bit of loft insulation in all the holes I can find will help then?

   Hmmm maybe abit, but real sound deadening like brown bread, or another brand.
