Belly pan = less road noise?
I'm looking for those who have installed belly pans to throw me an answer on this one. I'm thinking, in theory, belly pans should reduce overall noise inside the cab from road noise. 2 reasons...
1. Less wind noise in general under car
2. Additional barrier between driver and road
Has anybody experienced this in the real world? Currently, my vehicle I'm building has had all deadening materials removed. I'm planning to add a minimal amount back in (light-weight aftermarket stuff), but was curious if an added benefit of the belly pan would be a noticeable amount of noise reduction.
I realize that a lot of noise exists in places such as doors and wheel wells, but was just wondering on the floor noise alone.
Thanx!
