Default gas cart noise

Does anyone have any recommendations on how lower the noise level of a gas cart?
Thanks,
Chuck

Let some air out of the tires. Should lower it by about an inch.

I reduced the noise level on my 2008 EZGO gas by 50% by installing a noise reduction foam pad on the bottom side of the seat. The pad is attached to the seat by a peel and stick adhesive coating and is heat resistant . I purchased the pad from Advantage Golf Carts on 441. The pad would probably fit other models.

I'd like more info on the noise pads. Thanks

Check with Carts & Clubs in Ocala (352) 351-2278. They build their new carts with not only a sound deadening foam under the bottom of the seat base but they put another type of material on the insides of the cart around the engine. Really helps quiet things down.

Cool Not quiet, but ....

I found that are good pair of earbuds & MP3 player will do the trick very nicely.
