Added some sound proofing in step well Chevy 3500

Good idea. How much did it help?

Leaving Friday for a long weekend, If it made a difference I'll let you know.

I do think the soundproofing made some difference. Hard to say how much but I noticed more road noise coming from the battery compartment under the entry steps. Going to try and do something with that area next.

What year is this truck? I've never seen a step well like that on the driver's side of any Chevy trucks.

It's a class C 3500 Express van chassis.

I have a 2006/2005 chassis Chevy Based Tioga and never had any problem with road noise,in fact it is very quiet inside. I also have a battery compartment under the entry steps,it is made of a heavy plastic or composite type of material and the lid/top step has a rubber seal that seals it when fastened down.

You might check underneath,my exhaust/muffler runs just behind it and there is a heat shield attached to the frame there, although my RV is on a Chevy Workhorse Chassis, I have found that ones of the same vintage on non Workhorse Chassis don't have a lot of upgrades that mine has.

I have the Workhorse. I think some of it is wind noise from thr flat set face of the rv box just behind the cab doors. Now that I soundproofed the step wells I hear more coming from the step area. P.O. used to hang a blanket over the door but the door is not where it’s coming from. I worked construction for 45yrs long before anybody suggested ear protection so my ears are shot. I hear a lot of white noise anyway so that’s probably part of it.
