Yeah, because that noise wouldn't be annoying while driving around.

beaded curtains? You are in the wrong forum. Paleo-Decorating is over in building C.

A good stock set of curtains come with a pair of pieces that will go from snaps near the top of the shoulder harness across the doors and across the front windows when you are parked. One of those pieces will also go from snap to snap behind the front comparment. You can add a second set of snaps or velcro and extend it to the floor. This seals off the front of the bus from the back. That is how it was done from the 1970's on.

If you go with beads be prepared to have them wrap all over you, your passenger and the shifter every time you stop.

I have kids and a chihuahua. Noise? What noise?

If I wanted quiet, I wouldnt be driving a 40 yr old Bus. Besides, I like the 60s look. I was there, but dont remember it. Back then Face Book was passing out on your copy of rolling stone!
