Need help with vibs from motor/trans mounts....baby on the way

So my wife and rents think that the vibration from my TTR motor mount and trans bushings will hurt our babies ears when she's done cookin in June.
After riding in the back, it is quite a bit louder than the front.
Will sound damping fix this or am I gonna have to swap for the stock mount/bushings?

You will always have a bit of vibs, hence the name solid mounts. However as they "break in" vibs do go down a lot.

they've been broken in for a long time. I've never noticed it before because I'm never in the back.

back to my original question. think sound damping will help?

Try switching out just one of the mounts ans see what it "sounds" like then. I would try the easiest which is the top motor mount. Will take u 15 mins.

That's what I'll do if I have to. Except that my stock mount it 2000 miles away in my parents garage
