I used 50 mil Kilmat on the inside of my Tacoma- after a quick tutorial video, I was an installation expert! Kilmat FTW!! Affordable, easy to use, no lingering smell- ohhh it really makes a huge difference too! My doors lost that hollow tin sound, and of course my tunes! When Im rocking out- I feel like I'm at the show- not driving down the road-lol. Seriously Kitmat FTW.

[@specfishin]

Used killmat in my 2000 trans am and it was a major difference. Also that deadner was easy and great to work with. If you wear gloves you literally dont need a roller. You can knuckle roll it all. I did from firewall all the way to the full trunk area. Used 2 boxes and 3 sheets. Thats doors and hatch etc.

@@tw8444 Literally all the pro's and con's are interchangeable. You always need to lay your sheets out in the driveway to warm up. You always need to buy an $8.99 roller to install. I have completely coated two cars in Noico and there is no smell! Heck, I installed it in an 03 Jetta to GET RID of the crayon smell. Dynamat was the first to Market that's why it's so expensive. They just never price adjusted when competition entered the market. Noico all the way! maybe throw some adhesive backed, closed cell foam over it if you really want to get maximum results (I did this in a 2010 TDI Jetta. Doors, trunk and even the back of the fender inserts. I was extremely satisfied with the results).

I spent almost $600 using Dynamat in the past on my Thunderbird to cover most of the interior including doors, rear panels in the back seat, entire trunk including spare tire well and lid, and the mating surface between my amp rack with cooling fans and the ported box. Its just too damn expensive.. all the other parts including firewall and most of the floor was generic sound deadener from an auto-body supplier, and I also used a heat gun along with a roller when using the cheaper stuff which made a huge difference. The end result was massive, especially after adding a nice EQ and external crossover.. too expensive however.. I am going to do the same treatment to a Mark VIII LSC I have - same exact ported box with custom amp rack and cooling fans and it should have the same nice tight fit in the trunk since its more or less the same frame car. This time I think I am going to stick with a 50sq foot roll of Kilmat, and will add another 25sq feet for the other bits I would like to cover. I dont know if I will go with 50ml or 80ml, but even 50ml will make a hell of a difference over stock I suppose.

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

I used Noico "without gloves" and no injuries were incurred. Also I experienced ZERO smell of any kind. I was surprised how much coverage I got in my truck with only 18 sq ft. But getting another 36 sq ft soon, to finish the truck, and start on my car. LOVE this stuff :) Oh, and Noico also makes Noico RED 315 mil 20 sqft Сar Sound Insulation, Heat and Cool Liner, Self-Adhesive, which adds "some" additional sound deadening, but mostly, its used for heat insulation. For the roof of my truck, I used a layer of Noico regular sound deadener first, then a layer of this stuff, for heat insulation, for our Sacramento Summers :)

[@JohnDoe-us1ek]

In what ways has sound deadening made a difference for you, in anything? For your music, road noise, etc.? Is it worth it? Thinking about doing it but haven’t found too many videos or forums to find out if it’s worth it.

[@saab9251]

It works and seen the biggest gains from doing roofs, package trays, and some door skins that flop a lot. The floor helps but you don’t have as much in my experience because carpet does a pretty good job of insulating sound already.

[@AllenReinecke]

Same here. No smell, no gloves. Applied fairly easily and did a good job. Did my trunk and under rear seat using 30 sqft.

[@citizen5700]

unfortunately i don't have a sound comparison. i bought a box of dynamat and kilmat. the dynamat is much heavier than the kilmat, 23 vs 17 pounds. the dynamat sheets are 3 X larger but are folded which makes it harder to smooth out. the kilmat sheets are smaller but came in mint condition without creases. they say kilmat is thicker but i didn't see a difference just looking at them. i installed the dynamat quite easily (without a heat gun) even as a newbie. i used $6 metal snips from harbor frieght. i used a norco roller and thick plastic flattener (from mod podge). and if you are removing the vapor barrier butyl tape, 90% isopropyl alcohol or goo off managed to clean that black sticky stuff quite easily. bicycle tire tools worked better that trim tools to pop the clips to remove the door panels. it took 3 sheets of dynamat to cover the back doors and rear hatch (small car). it took 2.5 sheets to do the front doors. with just the doors covered (not the floor/roof), i noticed my music volume is maybe 3 steps lower (than before) on the freeway. was it worth spending $200? yes because i commute on the freeway everyday. i choose dynamat because it was heavier and maybe it takes more energy to vibrate. i really don't know whether weight or thickness is more important in reducing noise. hope that helps.

[@AshyLarryTM]

I did a double layer of FatMat in my 95 Altima SE. 300sqft of it. I covered every square inch of the interior including inside the doors, door panels and interior bits and pieces. Aside from the Asphalt smell that lingered for about a month it worked flawlessly. I did that install 15 years ago and it's still holding up 100%. I'm not sure of the cost now but 15 years ago it was $300 for 300sqft.

[@pascalhibon7928]

I used Noico and I don't have the rubber smell as mentioned in the video. To me, the Noico mats are highly recommended.

if i remember right kilmat has actually been around longer than dynomat, dynomat pushed kilmat out of the sound shops as the "better product" more profit product more like.

[@chrispurdue5762]

Dynamat is a better product period. Dynamat Xtreme reduced the amplitude of the resonance on my test panel by 9.5db decibels, while the 80mil version of Killmat only reduced the amplitude of the resonance of that same test panel by about 7.5db. And that's a handicapped test, as the dynamat I used on this test panel came in the roll (their 4 square foot package) which reduces effectiveness, while Killmat came in flat sheets. Last time I tested Dynamat, from a pack that came in flat sheets, it reduced resonance of that test panel by 11db. And, Killmat's heat resistance is garbage.

Really good video overview I've used the killmat, dynamat & noico in different semi truck builds I really like the killmat for the price & performance even though dynamat is slightly thinner than noico & killmat I guess but the end result as far as noise reduction in my book and our drivers without knowing always seem to think dynamat trucks are quiter and have less rattles. Noico works well, but I'd definitely pick Killmat over Noico and Dynamat over all if funds allow.

[@catmanisgod8200]

Damping material is just the first part of a 3 part 'system' for soundproofing a car. There is nothing "optimal" about 50% coverage. This is just a point where a group of people agree to settle for "good enough". It is in many cases a point of diminishing return. 100% coverage is better than 50% coverage... but that last 50% of coverage doesn't result in the same amount of effectiveness as the first 50% of coverage. Damping material in applied to the metal to lower the resonate frequency. Then you need a decoupler. This is the second part of this 'system'. Closed cell foam is sold in the car audio industry as a decoupler. There is nothing magical about it. It is just a simple product that has a huge mark-up because it is targeted to a niche market. You can find any closed cell foam and use it as a decoupler. The best option I have used for MANY years is Reflectix. It is a double layer of 'bubble wrap' in an alumanized layer. It's an amazing decoupler that provides great thermal properties. For the final part of a proper "Sound Deadning" project is MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl) with a minimum weight of 1lb/ft². On this layer the MLV MUST BE 100%. Tape all seams. This layer of MLV is what actually "blocks" the sound.

[@tannergauge9374]

Good stuff man thanks.

[@DaveThaBossDTB]

Do you have any test reports to back up your claims? Everyone in the audio industry claims one thing and the reports show otherwise. ESPECIALLY the car audio industry. I am sure you do not even know of the test reports done in California I believe in the 90's that showcased what wall structure was the best at stoppind sound. Yes you may be basing it on "theory". However, what you are suggesting is probably so negligible that is not even worth doing.

[@saab9251]

Noico doesn’t have a smell and you don’t have to use gloves. I’ve installed it in multiple vehicles now. The biggest gains I’ve seen are from pulling headliners and doing the roof. Your floor already has carpet with sound deadened most times so you don’t have nearly as much from adding a shit load of sound deadening to it as you’d thing. Rear seat panels, package trays, truck cab real walls etc give you the most noticeable gains in my opinion. Slap your hand against things and see if it sounds like a dull thud or like you’ve just smacked a piece of gutter piping. Easy way to find things that need sound deadening.

Would you recommend that to apply in tight crevices that you can't get these Mat products into? I know I paint my inner fender wells with the KBS Rust Seal, then there Asphalt Roll on and spray on for Tight nooks and cranny crevices, then I finish off with a coat of either the KBS Rubberized Undercoating or go with The Rust-Oleum Rubberized Undercoating, as they both are fantastic!

I'm trying to turn my Toyota tacoma into a Bentley.

[@wayneious]

years ago I quieted my Dodge truck down a total of 10 dBs and it was worth every cent when I drove it to have it nice and quiet as well as cooler inside also.

My tucson is loud af and now when i have studded tyres it´s bananas

[@MarkSegree]

@@belthagor03 You are putting yourself in discomfort with the anticipation that one day if that day ever comes, you will drive on black ice for 5 seconds and not slide into a sidewalk while going 5km an hour because that's as fast as you could go before it go out of control. Makes me wonder why we pay for insurance. Been using blizzak for 10 years now and they are the most confident inspiring driving tires, best of all you can not hear them.

Im turning my Kia Rio into an Audi!!

[@shaneintegra]

How do these compare to the thicker foam sheets though? (Primarily for the inside of doors)

[@mykesmith1933]

A lot of brochure reading and not much (any) testing. How about a sound meter to document the noise reduction with each product? Do all the products lend to adhering additional material to them? Also in your video there was a slide where you mentioned that you used something in the “passed”. I am sure you meant “past”. Might want to fix your typo.

Can you put Kilmat in the inside of a truck doghouse cover over the engine?

[@MercuryWolff]

This review couldn't have been more perfect. Thank You!

[@paulwallin7985]

great job on explaining the difference of these products. Question - I'm using this on my RV, and was going to put it under the bottom (since it's completely finished inside). Wanted to see your thoughts about if I would get a benefit of both sound and weather insulation (being installed under the RV). And.. which of the 4 would you recommend (think the Asphalt base one is out).

[@911mykid]

If you are doing an interior panel use a USA brand butyl. Kilmat, siless, fatmat all cheap deadening will have asphalt, even if it says it’s just butyl. After the butyl layer, use a closed cell foam liner for additional sound absorption and insulation. Spend extra on a good real butyl layer and then you can go with a cheaper closed cell foam to save $. And buy a roller. You’re going to be rolling for hours, so I suggest to spend extra on a quality roller as well. I’m saying all this from years of experience installing.

[@pen25]

you would be better off using a spray on liner. before the liner is sprayed on make sure you clean the underside completely. and ensure its dry. spray por15 to seal and convert any rust. then spray on the liner. not doing any of this will result in trapped moisture and rust

[@mrgcav]

Well done. Very helpful. I think Kilmat is right for my van project. I just wish it was offered in rolls as waste of pre-cut sheets seems a problem.

[@chrispurdue5762]

Rolls reduce effectiveness.

[@chrishaan5766]

I found it to be exactly the opposite So much easier to handle a “piece” than to try to maneuver a roll in tight areas

[@RalphSampson...]

Does the entire surface need to be covered? I've seen where some will simply put a piece on large panel like a roof or the inside (outer skin) of a door panel.

[@soundproofguide]

You don’t have to cover the entire area to make the inside on the car sound better because what you have installed will get rid of most of the rattles and road noise.

[@holeshotinspectionllc2412]

Soundproof Guide depends on your needs and application you are looking for

[@catmanisgod8200]

If you have a limited budget (or amount of product), put whatever amount you are dedicating to that panel in the center of the panel. The more covered, the better the job it will do.

[@bradhiggins9593]

Where is cascade audio products in the shoot out?

[@kayakesq]

thank you for posting this. I am going to be converting a box truck and will not be in the box when driving so sound will only be an issue for privacy and comfort while camping. . I think my box is about 8X7X 14 so there is 318 sq feet of walls and roof.... if I covered it at 25% that would be about 75 sq ft. About $2 a sq ft makes $150.... probably worth it if there wasnt another way.... I have an almost unlimited free source of aluminum or mylar foil plastic bubble huge bags that are ,if opened into sheets , about 3 'by 6' and I think maybe sprayed or brushed contact cement would do same result for just a few bucks.... I am not thinking a fire is going to happen or if it did it would outgas any worse... If I am missing something please let me know. I would be doing heat insulation on top of it anyway..... and am more worried about moisture collection and rust but the box metal is aluminum so not likely to rust.... right?? Thanks for any comments ( besides how cheap can you get. I know that is a thing but I am living on social security and trying to save enough to leave the kids something more than I got.

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

Do you know of any third party testing of these mats for actual frequencies suppressed?

[@marktepper3440]

Do you know any good installers of sound insulation and if so where are they located?

[@drewmanley9148]

Well if you're in Southern California I do it for really cheap

[@MJorgy5]

I heard there is a great shop in Zimbabwe.

[@raymondchapman5990]

Hush Mat FTW !

[@angelobovara317]

Excellent sound deadener is polystyrene. This is what Hefty picnic plates are made from. You cannot scream thru a .250 thick sheet of this stuff. It has a few problems tho. Its brittle and sensitive to heat over 250 f.

[@ESLinsider]

How sticky is this stuff? If you lay it down can you unstick it and move it someone where else? ANy idea what sort of glue is in this?

[@willdrivesu7914]

I've had people suggest double layering this, does that actually help enough for it to be worth the time/money to do that? Or is this + a layer of foam a better way to go?

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

Foam for sure this first layer u only need 60% coverage at max covering 100% you’re wasting money it is only meant to stop the reverb / vibration n sheet metal so covering it 100% is a waste’ u only need a little to stop the ting n metal like a drum cymbal’ Then your foam will just help absorb sound that gets through 1st layer with is road noise etc Top layer mlv this really blocks your sound that made it Through your foam layer dissipating the energy’ sound is nothing but energy to not hear it u gotta disperse the energy’ Windows unless acoustic glass nothing u can do And tires make a huge difference Putting $75-100 into “sound proofing” your car is gunna get u $75-100 value shit! Yes it will help but very little if u wanna do it rite you’re looking $500 at least but these companies stay n business because the normal guy “believes” why he wants or fake videos they throw in $75 worth and then mad at result’ what did u expect for $75? Lol if u can’t afford to do it rite u can’t afford to do it’ and u have to pull your entire interior so don’t “do it in layers” that’s dumb’ buy once cry once get it done you’re not gunna take your entire interior apart 3x so get all your material 1 day pull interior and clean surfaces for oil grease etc Day 2 do layers 1-2 Day 3 last layer and reinstall interior if I help 1 guy the 5 min it took to type this was worth it cause that 1 guy will help 1 guy and so on’ best of luck

[@willdrivesu7914]

@@joshymcdaniel9233 That is some good information, and makes sense, quieting your vehicle can't just be done on the cheap and have been pretty skeptical that doing this by itself is enough. I want to pull my vehicle apart once and be done with it, lol. I had not even really thought about the glass to be honest. It's older so the glass is pretty cheap stuff. I'll have to look into that, thanks.

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

@@willdrivesu7914 u bet hope it helps man’ it’s a 3 step for sure’ don’t worry much about glass if u do the 3 step it will be close to luxury sound level you’ll have a little wind noise without acoustic glass but you’ll be happy with it

How about the heat and smell I was thinking of doing the same thing

[@myboy051]

@@brendentaylor8976 sorry for the late response. No smell at all, I’m in Boston where we have 90 degree summers and Freezing winters. About 3 months ago I pulled my door panels and everything is still perfect.

How does this compare to second skin sound deadener.

[@johnterry117]

Hi ! Don't all cars already come with a layer of soundproofing all over? Thanks

[@smportis]

No. Depends on the model package you buy. A low end model vehicle has much less soundproofing than the higher end package of the same car.

[@PHBalancedSgtPDiddy]

have you ever tested second skin sound deadener?

[@soundproofguide]

I’ve never tried second skin. Let me know your experience with it if you’ve tried it.

[@dobledekersoulwrekr]

Restomod Air has a product called Membrane that is like Dynamat but has another layer of foam and aluminum

[@VndNvwYvvSvv]

20 minutes of "blah blah", and zero testing. Try again.

torch and rag works better than roller for me. get it hot and it REALLY sticks good. set it in the sun and do it in the afternoon when m car is hot as fk. been using sillless, seems to be the same as killmat.
