<P>I lined my whole van floor with B-Quiet sound deadener and I helped substantially. Cost a little under $200, but worth it for extended trips. Let me know if you need info.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;I was considering ways to reduce engine noise and had a thought....
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;What about filling the low areas in the "corrugated" engine compartment cover with "silicone seal" or some similar caulking compound. Not just the hatch-cover, but the whole top surface and forward-slanting front surface of the engine / transmission enclosure.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;My concept is that this would be similar to the factory-supplied foam pad that is under the rug in the central area of the van that similarly levels-out the corrugation in that section of the floor.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Any thoughts or other suggestions would be appreciated.
