engine noise, without overheating engine. |
2) find ways to incr spark size (i) disable useless drain of current
e.g. bypass windows' motors relay, or diasble internal EGR's
valve & solenoid, (ii) use copper wires to conduct heat out of
transformer coils to get more amperes ; faster combustion
can really cut exhaust noise

You have to remove the interior and put it under the carpet and behind the door panels. The thing would be as quiet as a Cadillac! |
In my experience sound deadeners work wonders for stopping rattles and
increasing bass tenfold but they don't do a dick
to decrease road noise. You get what you pay for.
If peace and quiet is high on the shopping list I suggest
to pay for a luxury or a near luxury car.

My 07 is notably quieter than the 04, which was already quiet, and
generally the Camrys are quieter yet.

that make the voices in your head go away.

I still don't understand how that would help with the ENGINE
noise the OP is drying to drown. You can treat the floor all you want
and I might even believe it would drown the cacophony of pebbles
on an unpaved section of a road but how would that help with the
ENGINE noise? To drown the engine noise there are two options:
1. Treat the firewall with prodigious amounts of sound deadeners
(including liquid ones because firewall is a bitch to get to
and a bunch of piping going back and forth thru it does not help)
2. Install a quieter engine (such as a six or an eight) and operate
it at half the potential at low rpm.
