I would like to quiet my ride down a bit and to me it seems that the trunk traps and reverberates the exhaust sound. Has anyone tried using dynamat or something similar to deaden the sound?
Thanks for any ideas.

Reverberating Sound

The trunks on both my Tri's had a heavy felt liner....And i never notice /heard any reverberations....But i have a tin ear...What kind of exhaust do you have..

I would think as long as you're willing to loose a fraction of the storage area, some sound mat or sound panels cut to fit, that should help. If you're talented, you may be able to get it behind the liners and not even know it's there.
Like Rhino, I am a tad deaf and can barely here the exhaust ...LOL ... and my smart hearing aides are dumber than rocks when it comes to riding .. Lots of drama, so I don't wear them on the bike.
I have a decatted stock headpipe with stock slipons. My thought is that the cavity between the trunk and seat act as a sound chamber. I am thinking about ways to isolate that area.Originally Posted by rhino 2

Mine only seems to do that when TP is empty.

Fill the trunk with coats or blankets and go for a ride, then empty trunk fill tour pack check again or fill both and see if sound goes away. At least then you will know what needs done. just trying to help

You could put some sound padding behind the flap ... or even some sound board

Same issue with exhaust pulsating sound.
Looking for help, has anyone found something that works?
My helmet makes a difference. 3/4 helmet with face shield resonates more than the half helmet with the ears open to the wind.
