Aiwa sound-cancelling earphones make a remarkable difference in an '84
Westy.  You can really hear the rattles with the roar largely suppressed...
<g>  Kinda bizarre, but fairly cheap at $50 per, and certainly easy.  The
effect seems a lot greater when you turn them off than when you turn them
on....  Rig up a couple boom mics and an intercom circuit and you can
whisper in each other's ear.  Can do that without the noise cancelling, of
course.

ps -- if someone else is doing this, we get a pronounced click in the
phones when going over a sharp bump.  Phones powered, doesn't matter
whether they're plugged in to anything but your shirt pocket.  Click may be
one ear or both, and typically not exactly simultaneous if both.  Sometimes
one pair will click and not the other -- I think.  Any experience/clue?  I
have a couple thoughts, not tested yet.
