Q: Car Noise
While driving my car, it sounds very loud in the cabin & seems to have gotten louder over the life of the car. I even hear vibrations coming from the seat belt dispenser area. Is there any way to quiet my car, or to make it a little less loud inside the car while I'm driving? (I have replaced the engine about 2 years ago).
My car has 210000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
