I know that those foam stuff is useless and it is not ok to do your car with some useless garbage all over the place. It is not the way to do it at all. the way he did it, will just make inside insterior noises less harsh and sustain, less clicky, with less reflection amount. that's all, it didn't affect any outside noises at all. That foam is not for sound insulation, it is for weakening sound reflections. in a very non-effective way. it is a thing that shouldn't be on sale at all.

You have discovered GM's secret anout how similar a Chevrolet is to a Cadillac. For years, GM made Chevrolet, Pontiac, Olds, Buick and Cadillac, and the prices increased as you went from Chev to Cadillac, (I may have the middle order off). GM claimed the cars were smoother riding, ie: more luxurious as you spent more money. About 5 years ago, I gutted the old, stinky cloth interior of my 1989 Olds 88, and replaced it with a full leather interior from a late '90's Buick from a wrecking yard. I don't think anyone had ever sat in the back seat, ( car had about 50k on it). I got the entire Buick interior, from carpet pad to seat belts. I decided to insulate above the brand new headliner I was installing, and fill in body voids below the back seat windows, and some other areas. When I started putting the interior back in, I decided to first put down some carpet pad I got from an upholstery supplier made from recycled plastic milk jugs. It also had foil on one side. The formed carpet from the Buick didn't quite lay right, so I ended up reusing the heavily rubberized carpet pad from the Buick and the more typical grey non-rubber coated carpet pad from the Olds. So, I ended up with a lot of pad. After I got the interior done, and took my wife some where for the first time with the new interior installed, she asked me, (with no prompting or questions from me), "Did you do anything to the suspension or tires, or anyhting else?" Now, my wife doesn't know much about cars. I was really surprised by her question. When I dug a bit deeper with her, I discovered she felt the car rode much smoother than it did previously. I told her I only did the interior, but she was adament I had done more. For her, the ride got smoother as it got quieter. It is definitely quieter, much quieter. Also cooler in the Summer, and warmer in the Winter. I got to thinking about the effect of sound deadening the car, and came to the conclusion the big price difference GM got for their different lines of cars came down to the type and amount of carpet pad they used, and not much else. I just bought a used 06 Dodge Grand Caravan last summer. It was a smokers' car, so I took out all the interior plastic pieces and washed them. Before I put them back, I shoved as much bubble wrap in the body cavities and door cavities as I could. Then drove the van from NY to Oregon. This is my third Dodge Grand Caravan, and the only complaint I had about the previous vans was the road noise. Not with this one. If you have your interior apart, add some sound deadener. You won't regret the cost, or work.
@erichimes30625 жыл бұрын
George Dennison Good suggestions I had all of my interior out of my 96 Jeep xj to repair the floor pans, so I bought i bunch of noico butyl sheets (made in Russia) for a fraction on the cost of fatmat or similar. I put it between the headliner and roof, the entire floor under the carpet, and inside the doors (inside outer door skin, and behind the panel). It did a great job at quieting the road noise for sure.

George Dennison I thought my and Cadillac were exactly the same on the Escalades to and I hade done a complete interior swap in my 02 Tahoe with the interior out of a 04 Escalade. Some of the panels had a little piece of deadner on them. The other day I went to a guys house to get parts off a 04 thst was rolled, the interior was taken out of it and that’s when I really noticed where they made up the difference , the metal of the actual doors behind the panels are barley cut open enough for the window regulators and what not as to my Tahoe almost the whole door is cut open behind the panel and has a piece of thick plastic glued all the way around. Makes quite a bit of difference. I have already Ed probably 300 lbs worth of dynomat style material and I put it EVERYWHERE on the rear from the front of the rear wheel housing I even doubled everything back there to help with tire noise and reRend noise. After installing new carpet pad along with a mass backing Essex carpet kit from stock interiors I swear to you it’s so quiet inside you would think it was electric except for the flow master exhaust which is going to be replaced with a much quieter muffler. If anyone knows of a high performance muffler that is super quiet Please share The info.

NeATaNDtURdy The newest one I've been in was a 2012, so they may have improved. But going back to the GLC (323 to the rest of the world) and 626 of the '80s through the 929 and Mazda 6, they have all had more tire/road noise than a comparable car of the era. Not exactly loud, but noticable. Other than that, they do make good cars.
@justacinnamonbun86586 жыл бұрын
I had a 2012 Mazda5 purchased new, the noise wasn't the problem, the problem was a steering vibration that even Mazda couldn't (and wouldn't) figure out. So if you buy a Mazda make sure you take it up to highway speed and make sure the steering wheel doesn't shake. Even though in my case I didn't get the steering wheel shake until 500 miles on the odometer. Many Mazda5 owners of the day not happy with that vibration in a new car.

I live in Florida, I drive over 100 miles a day for work, and I've really been wanting to drop 500 to 1000 on some sound deadening material for my car. I preemptively took a sound check with my phone which probably isn't as accurate as the handheld meter here, but it was 76 decibels at 65mph! If I could get that down to 50 with sound deadening in the entire floor, all the doors, and the trunk... I think my car would be a much nicer daily driver.

This is one of the things that I learned from a long time ago when I was first working on cars, & then even more when I was later working as a project expediter on high in home remodeling. Most cars & homes do not have sound insulation between the enter walls of the compartments & the enter rooms & barely on the outside due to unrealistic codes builders once I got into the field. I realized that cars were just the same as homes & needed better sounddeading , so then have always been upgrading ever since then.. 💯

The foil backed rubber is not for sound insulation it's for sound deadening, 2 entirely different problems. To deaden the floor pan properly you don't need to blanket cover it with deadener like you see in every video like this, around 25-35% coverage is more than enough, anymore is a blatant waste of money. Next (and this is the most important part of it) you apply a layer of MLV (mass loaded vinyl), to work effectively this should be 100% coverage and any gaps filled because this is the layer that actually stops most of the sound. Next add a layer of closed cell foam over that and replace the carpets, seats etc and your done with the floor pan. You can then strip the doors down and deaden both the inner and outer door skin and if you're into your music try putting some open cell or egg box foam behind where the speaker will sit to help calm any back waves. After that it's similar to the floor, add MLV and cover that with a layer of foam to avoid any rattles between the card and the door and reassemble. I like to add a layer of deadener to the roof skin, around 75% for my roof then cover that with a layer of ccf and replace the liner. You can treat the boot area the same, 25% deadener coverage plus the wheel arches then a layer of MLV and CCF to cover it all. When it's complete the difference is profound, to me my car sounds like my friends recording studio and was well worth the considerable effort it took to do it right.
@Kamukix6 жыл бұрын
Only came to the comments to see if someone else posted this. A lot of people end up spending a bunch of money on 'sound deadening' material only to find out that it barely did anything because they added anti vibration material only and did almost nothing to stop sound transmission. They also added a bunch of unnecessary weight by using too much, and effort to put all of that down.

the sound deadener is essentially the same material as stick on SBS roll roofing material that comes in a 3x33 foot roll for about 100.00 or 150, except its about 10x the price. Its self adhesive rubber material with a foil surface. I'm sure the manufactures have some excuses as to why it's better but I have felt both and appear to be exactly the same.
