Recommendations on sound proofing?
Looking to add some sound deadening.
Anyone have recommendations? All the stuff on Amazon is rigged with fake reviews and spam brands. Can't even tell what's what. Thanks in advance |

it's all really the same-- the differences are going to be brand recognition, and possibly deading material thickness. it's all butyl rubber with an aluminum foil skin that works by mass loading panels to lower their resonate frequency.
the main thing is to understand the fundamental aspect of how it works, and you can save a significant amount of money over the 'standard' way of lathering it everywhere. i posted this before, but it perfectly sums up the wrong and right way to use sound deadening: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...=143757&page=2 Quote:

Soundman is right. It's been my experience that all of that dynamat related stuff all works the same but if you buy the generic versions you're going to save a fortune.
It's been a decade since I've really messed with car audio but coming from the home theater side of things I know about acoustics materials. If you wanted to be as quiet as possible do a rear seat delete and in the seat wells fender wells and spare tire area cut and pack it full of Rockwool safe N sound in conjunction with the *dynamat*. Like soundman said It's going to add a lot of weight to your vehicle but if you're trying to lower the decibels that's how you do it. If you really wanted to go next level with it you could get 2-in thick panels of Owens Corning 703 and lay across the top of the safe n sound and use those panels as your seat deletes and trunk floor. |

I used Noico (a Dynamat clone) in the trunk applied selectively to the floor, tirewell, the wheel arches and the body I could get to and a mass loaded vinyl/closed cell foam composite between the body and the side trim panels in the trunk compartment, and a large MLV/CCF sheet under the trunk carpet panel.

Anyway another thing to consider is what sound you're trying to reduce, and what's the source. Several types of mods will increase noise more than you expect (like a transmission mount collar, say). But you can also decrease exhaust noise with some JDM rubber bits. I'm trying to decrease tire/road noise, but I don't care about exhaust/drivetrain noise, and I don't want to add a boatload of weight. So that means strategic dynamat on the floor/side panels, and maybe some Thinsulate Acoustic (if I can ever find a good place to buy the stuff) in the doors and rear quarters. Staying away from MLV because it's so heavy. |

and in that aspect, even just the thin stuff i linked is more than enough.

Gotcha. I'm less concerned about heat management, more about sound deadening for road noise. 3M's website is not much help at all, since they're mostly concerned with selling to OEMs.

thicker is always going to be better-- i know fiberglass insulation works on the concept of the fibers rubbing together from the noise and converting that movement to low level heat. with that knowledge, usually the jute/felt/bitumen stuff that oem's use works quite well while also maintaining a suitable fire/thermal rating for automotive use.

Same as an acoustical panel an air gap usually works best so the waves can be reflected back into the material but when you're dealing with these type of constraints you deal with what you've got. |

With your experience, what's the best compromise for sound absorption material, in terms of weight:deadening potential? Edit: This stuff looks interesting. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dei-050110 Last edited by Cephas; 05-23-2021 at 01:44 PM. |

For road noise the the butyl mat/MLV/CCF combo seems to have made a noticeable difference. I applied the butyl to the underside of the trunk lid as well. I don't think it made a huge difference, but it did make the lid sound less tinny when I close it.
Next, I'm going to slip some leftover MLV panels under the rear fabric covering of the rear seats.

Now like someone mentioned earlier, I would say the best course of action is to try an address the root cause if it's something like a vibration or resonance. That is if it's a sound the car is making and not road noise you're addressing. |
