A tribute to the D2 cabin sound insulation
I think we're all familiar with the awful droning/rumbling sound of a passing "hot hatch" with an excessive aftermarket sound system.
(Almost as bad as the tinny tiss-tiss from headphones that started with the Sony Walkman - that should be a capital offence subject to on-the-spot execution, but I digress) Anyway I was running my car today just sitting on the drive (retuning the DVB-T) and decided to listen to a bit of Pink Floyd to pass the time. "Comfortably Numb" at a volume to make you feel exactly that was my "weapon of choice". :ROFL: Part way through I realised I wanted something from the boot so stepped out; it sounded quite loud with the door open. But when I shut the door it was almost inaudible, standing right next to the car. A tribute to the standard of sound insulation Audi put into these cars. Double glazing probably helps too. +++ |
I've noticed that too.
And good choice of music! I love a bit of Floyd, especially that particular track! +++ |

You are right though, the insulation IS good. Even quiet, detailed music (try acoustic guitar) sounds good (when inside!) and travelling at speed. I would love to hear a B&O system though.... I did mean to ask one of those lucky enough to have B&O at the annual meet if I could have a listen but never got around to it. |

Listening to B&O hifi
Hi David,
I have B&O in my D3 S8 and I will be at the ADI meeting on Sept 16th at Castle Combe if you want a listen. If memory serves, you kindly took all my loose stuff when I went on track last year. Cheers Richard |
No Richard, that was me who held all you loose stuff from your boot.
Cheers David |

It's bad enough when you think you're talking one-to-one with someone to find out you're on hands free; imagine finding out you were broadcasting to the entire street! :ROFL: |

On a related subject I was sitting in the BA lounge in Terminal 5 the other day having breakfast (etc.) with SWMBO and a chap was sitting near us (in the dining area) not eating but just having a very loud business phone call. In the end I just stared at him until he noticed me watching and paused. I told him (politely) that it was really distracting listening to one half of a very loud conversation while trying to eat and that there were other more suitable places to indulge. :tuttut: He toned it down but didn't bother moving. |
