Somehow this question must have been asked-and-answered 1000 times, but I'm just wondering if there are any new thoughts.
The "road noise' in our cockpit is sufficiently loud that it's hard to carry on a conversation between driver and co-pilot, a cell-phone conversation (hands-free, of course, in CA), or to listen to the stereo at reasonable levels.
I have relatively good insulation under my engine hatch, and the entire floor of the cockpit, stairs, and the rest of the coach are all covered with good quality carpet.
Mostly, it seems to be wind-noise at the windows.
The two easy improvements I am considering are:
1. Replace all of the "felt" around the "slider" windows in the cockpit.
2. Replace the two large windows in the galley area with the new style windows. My logic here is that the new windows have a smaller opening section, thus conceivable letting in less road noise.
And yes, the Bose "noise canceling" headphones do work. The new model even has a microphone that will work with an I-Phone, but would not be legal for the driver to use. If you haven't tried them, they are amazing.
Any thought or suggestions would be appreciated.
