Listen To My Truck AFTER SOUND MAT INSTALL!!

[@jameshall4385]

i would do the ceiling. it is a big flat area that gives out a lot of reverberations and it will help block the heat from the sun

[@payloadperformance9706]

That’s exactly what I did, I did my entire truck, floors, doors, ceiling, back wall every spot except right behind all the gauge clusters and all but everything else was done and doubled up on some parts off he roof, the doors I did the inside and the panels side too, definitely made a huge difference once it was all done. On top of that (literally lol) I used Mass Loaded Vinyl, the stuff he used (kilmat which I used also) is a sound deadener MLV is a Sound Barrier, now the trucks feels like a Cadillac

[@joshhendrickson1441]

As well as rear wheel wells and the tailgate and doors. Its tideous for sure but what you've done thus far equates to using half a gasket on a water pump. There's alot still getting through. Nice job so far though.

[@jimmyschwarz6955]

Will this product help insulate from heat and cold, as well as sound?

[@redraif]

I took things one step further after matting... I took the paneling off and anything with a hollow cavity, I got spray sound deadener... I sprayed inside on the backside of the sheetmetal interior panels and outer sheet metal. Of course and electrical or mechanical components I covered to keep the spray off (Windows, window mechanisms... etc) Then on the plastic panels I took speaker box carpet and sprayed contact glue and attached the carpet to the back of the panels. That was a huge improvement over even the matting on the interior sheetmetal. I got crazy with the show car and sprayed the underside and then painted back over it. (Road and car chemicals can soften/strip spray sound deadner)

[@payloadperformance9706]

Jimmy Schwarz this one specifically does help with heat and cold yes that’s one of the advantages of kilmat over Noico, I have a video on my channel you can check out when I installed this stuff.

[@mr.z541]

Hey Jimmy, Love your honest about any products you've been gifted . I can't stand when in some videos, like mid way they start loving a certain product,that they say use all the time, then never seeing it used again, not once mentioning it's a paid ad. Treating your viewers for suckers is not good. Credibility is easy to loose. Keep up the great content. Thumbs up from Melb, Australia.

For the age of your truck it sure is clean. Probably the cleanest truck from that year I’ve ever seen.

[@brysonrodden5112]

I did the rear seat area of my F150 with this stuff and it is great. I need to do the front and the roof and the rest of the doors. I got an exhaust and it had too much drone and it helped a lot.

[@1RoadGarage]

Great to hear!

Having good/new seals around the doors will give you less noise..love the channel.

[@shimes424]

Huh, I never get the eye roll, gee...is that bad?

[@robertprice9052]

Put the mat in your door skins and the in the inside of the door and interior body panels. It will make a huge difference. Get a few egg crate foam mats and put them into the voids in the body where you cant put the mat. I used "good stuff" foam in extra tight areas to stop air flow and echoes in the body. Do the inside of the tail gate. You'll be surprised of just how quiet it will be come. You have really just started. Oh, in my rear cargo area I put 1/4 inch neoprene foam panels under the carpet. Good job! keep it up.

[@hawkie333]

In addition to kill mat, I put a horse stall mat in the back of mine for a durable surface. That amount of rubber also made a huge difference in blocking noise from rear diff and tires.

[@alk3myst]

I used aluminum tape when I got rips in the past. My last go around was RAMMat like 10+ years ago. Bought a kit of KILMAT for my son's 1995 Accord LX that I am putting a nice system into and he has a full header back setup.

[@JoeGarofaloII]

Dang son! That Burban is as clean as NYC is dirty!!!

[@hawkie333]

Thing looks mint. Hard to beat the value and functionality of an 80’s-90’s Suburban. I also like to put a bit of dampener on trim pieces to reduce rattle.

[@theupscale7130]

This was literally the best thing I've done to my Envoy. I literally gutted the entire interior, all seats, panels, carpet, headliner and doors and put the mats everywhere. Its literally amazing how much of a difference it makes. I also put in a brand new, thicker, plusher carpet with a thick rubber backing and man.... its insane how quiet it is. Also one thing that's crazy, my truck is straight piped.... and it sounds so quiet inside!

[@rickstir7144]

I raptor line the roof on my suburban and that actually helped a lot!!!! Highly recommend it

[@buckaroobonsi555]

Love the LED shop light idea! I am going to start doing that!

[@jforst779887]

That's a good bit lower new trucks at cruise are about 65-70 db from what I've seen. I always felt for the age these trucks were pretty quiet for what they are.

[@1RoadGarage]

I'm thinking the same.

[@research903]

Be sure to do the rear doors and the lift gate. I would even do the roof if possible. I completely removed the interior of my Mustang and covered every surface I could reach with Kilmat. Doors, floor, trunk floor, trunk lid. and roof. Made a world of difference. Even made the drone of the 3 inch Flowmaster exhaust tolerable from the inside.

[@04JALD]

Still loving your 95. Your doing a great job. Giving me ideas and a kick in the but to work on mine. Thank you 😊

[@justinchester100]

You may want to do your ceiling as well it may help

[@devin513]

Thanks for the video...definitely going to do this on my 1999 K1500 Suburban. Going to start with the rear cargo area. Hopefully getting that carpet on the back passenger side wont be too hard.

[@rjlittlefield9209]

Would have been nice to get a before and after. Been watching your channel for a long time I really enjoy the content. Been watching ever since 20,000 subscribers. Great job man 👍

[@1RoadGarage]

Thanks for following the channel! Hopefully we have a long way to go! I figured since I already did the front end I could refer back to the db meter from that video... which I did. Seems like a slight improvement but then again my tests aren't exactly scientific.

[@ericweaver5565]

Just realized I’ve been watching since before his hair was gray...

[@jorgchildres2809]

I've got a 94 2500 suburban. That I have completed sound proofed as you are doing. My biggest noise reduction, that I noticed was after doing the inside of the the doors. I also completed removed the dash and did behind there. I wouldn't recommend that it was a pain.

[@awp2902]

Great job, I can definitely hear a difference, you haven't done a video on the 03 suburban in a while

[@joehalliday4989]

Good job well done Jimmy listen back there on the side of your SUV where the tire was on the other side pull those plastic panels off and do all the side walls it makes a really big difference in their sound-wise did my whole SUV that way quiet quiet quiet plus it help keep it cooler

[@DevilPurpleLightning]

Does this helps with the temperature? Have you noticed any changes with heat or cold?

[@1RoadGarage]

Can't say that I've really noticed a difference with temperature. In theory it seems like it would but I just don't know..

[@Scott-wb5qx]

Fearless The Purple Lightning it does if installed on the roof

[@falsulaimani7]

i did it in my jeep wrangler 2014 and it was day and night for me. took me few days to finish it but damn it was worth it

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

Before and after decibel readings in the back where you installed the mat

[@ronjlwhite8058]

Lookin dang good man. Wait till you do the doors, that makes the difference right there. Just did mine with GP S.T.F.U.v2. The doors and roof sound solid vs the factory can sound. Super happy with the results.

[@alphasaiyan5760]

Take those back panels out over the wheel wells and killmat the wheel wells in the back and that will add to the sound dampening. A lot of noise comes through the wheel wells.

[@JUKE179r]

Cheers Jimmy. I've been wanting to do this to my 2001 Land Rover Discovery 2.

[@pathslesstrampled9906]

I love your videos. I'd watch them even if you were just showing us how you vacuum your Suburban's carpet.

[@ford1546]

what you measure in DB. is pretty good. not very quiet but not very noisy. somewhere in the middle. You also need to see at what frequencies the noise is in. tire noise can be more annoying than the noise at brighter frequencies is

[@hacatan24]

I put some of that sound deadening on my Acura RL on the doors.... and the door sound like if they're really heavy but it has a good sound to it like a Mercedes Benz or an Audi when you close the door..... Maybe you should try on your doors and that would help out a lot on the sound reducing

[@RaphaelLeite]

you have to look the pitch of the sound before and after. Sometimes you have the same decibels reading but in a more comfortable pitch.

[@benkanobe7500]

I am replacing the rear carpet in my '96 with matching original but with sound-deadening backing. I was wondering how you were able to get the right rear corner, back under the trim? You showed us that it went way under the side area, but you didn't show how to get it back in. How did you do that? Thank You. I have the issue with my Suburban when it comes to interior trim. I am afraid of breaking something while removing the first time.

[@1RoadGarage]

I just worked it in. It sucks for sure and took time but just slowly worked it back in.

Rear Wheel tubs need done and the inside of the front fenders, The roof is a large source of Vibs and drumming... do a door slam before and after, you will be like WHAT!!! I did my Escalade esv roof with 1/2 dynamat Dynaliner foam. insulating you from HEAT and no more drumming when you shut the doors.

[@ruebendelvecchio811]

In case no ones mentioned it the spare tyre in your SUBURBAN looked like a FIRESTONE.... Those were recalled back then for being dangerous for delaminating the tread. Advise you to replace it asap.

[@JM811Cars]

Do under the headliner

[@midnight-xpress1136]

Getting up as high as you can on the firewall helps a lot with engine noise.

[@geruner]

There should be a manufacture code on the tire for verification. FYI... no longer getting personal notifications from youtube...?

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

Would of been great if ya had of put the meter in the rear BEFORE the change and AFTER to have a real comparison, NEVER saw such stuff that THIN, I used some similar stuff 20 years ago that was much thicker & quieter, BUT, GREAT idea using the roller !

[@michaelsills3451]

Humans can usually hear from 18 hz up to about 16,000 to 18,00 hz. Every 3 decibels is double the volume. So even dropping from 73 to 70 means it is twice as quite. I use it alot tor car audio. If the car is twice as quite the stereo is by all means twice as loud. By comparison it would take 10x as much amplification to double the volume in a car. So sound deadening material is a great thing. Even without a huge stereo system in it you effectively make the car twice is quiet eliminating vibration and making for a more comfortable ride

[@ferrelljohns545]

You should notice the floor a little cooler. Blocking the heat rise from the asphalt. This should help AC not to have to work so hard.

Good job Jimmy. One tip to make it easier to position those sticky #%$#% is to not pull the backing paper all the way off at first. Just pull back enough to get your piece positioned correctly and then pull the paper back in stages as you smooth it down. Same goes for vinyl decals and paint mask paper.

[@mjcavender1230]

Should have sound tested before the install. I’m going to this to my 1995 4Runner. 👍🏻

In my car I struggle a lot with tire noise. I have Opel Astra G 1999. it has a LOT of body noise and tire noise which is annoying! It is not the type of tire that is the problem since I have tried several types of tires without it helping. volvo v70 2003 is an incredibly quiet car with LITTLE noise inside and very little tire noise 2018 Tesla model 3 I think they having surprisingly much tire noise. Noise inside the car is not something people talk about! why? not even in car tests

[@fredflintstone4715]

What you mean a 1994 tire should never touch the ground? You just need another to match it... Back in the 90's I used a set off a '55(?) Fairlane.... Won a trophy for the burn-out contest. LOL

[@wcjeep]

@@fredflintstone4715 burnout contest on old tires sounds great. Driving on public roads with old rubber sounds dangerous. Tires are only good for 5yrs. Remaining tread life means nothing. Around 2001 or so, DOT required a born date for tires after the Ford Explorer problems. Age of vehicle or RV is not relevant. Tires can sit around a warehouse for sometime before installation. Always check the Born Date on the tire.
