He should have tried very hard to get such difference. The max noise could be a truck horn or whatever. 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.

[@georgedennison3338]

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.

[@erichimes3062]

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.

[@JustAnotherHo]

yupp, it really comes down to how they finish the cars. Basically the Cadillac is how the car should had been made, and the rest pretty much how could GM cheap out more.

[@raydavies6236]

@ The quieter tires tend to have less grip though.

[@PROATV13rb]

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.

I've done this in a few of my cars, it does make a difference. But I think you also have to select the right tyres, as that prevents noise being transmitted into the structure in the first place!

[@hellapana7092]

You 're right. I have two cars that are the same (one year difference) and the one with nicer/quieter tires rides a lot quieter

[@personperson9591]

Yep, world of difference both getting nice Goodyear Comfort-tread tires and adding insulation (used peel and stick, and fiberglass in a few select places) for my '05 civic. I think the insulation helped more than the tires, but the tires have the advantage of both lessening noise by a few dB and vastly improving ride comfort as well (previous tires were the cheapest 70k mile tire from Les Schwab, so the difference was very noticeable).

[@hamoodalzadjali5657]

danny D From a personal experience I found Bridgestone tyres perform really well & reduce the noise on a sedan. Toyo is good as well & usually cheaper. Michlin tyres are great and well last a long time. The only drawback is that they're more expensive.

[@BPEKSupraInteractive]

Also, noise insulation can be reduced depending on how thick the side windows are. I wish there's a company that retrofits new and thicker windows to older cars.

[@tomcondon6169]

BPEK Supra Interactive I wonder how some of the coatings would effect sound? Like bullet proof film, may be multi-use.

[@nathanyoung8284]

I'm no expert, but if I were to install thicker glass in my 93 Camry, I don't think it would slide, quite literally, as the door barely allows for the thickness of glass that comes from the factory.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Tint film wouldn't affect sound at all because it is layered on the outside. Insulated glass has a film spacing in between glass layers to create a room within a room effect.

[@tomcondon6169]

I neglected to reply all that time before. I mentioned the glass coverings used to bullet proof glass, may have a thickness that would add to r value, just making the hypothesis. Someone replied to my suggestion arguing against tint film, that it would have no effect, claimed that double-spaced glass had a film between the panes. Actually, the panes have a space, and a vacuum is created to increase the r value of the glass.

Scotty, I've watched dozens of your videos and they all seem to be spot on insightful and well done, thank you.

[@Jerone5740]

Thanks for the heads up! I have a 2013 Ford Taurus SEL and ive noticed a lot more wind noise from my rear door area

[@kfat2290]

This is what I need for my Mazda 3 hatch. Highway travel is just horrendous.

[@asad5067]

i got the scion ia aka mazda 2. its only average according to CR. new mazda 3 is luxury quiet. or you can get a more expensive midsize car. CR rates sound isolation on every car. i used to drive with ear buds and hearing protection but its illegal and im probably not covered by insurance if i got in an accident

[@calinanais]

If you keep talking so loud no isolation is good enough.

[@FechKochiusIX]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Perfection man 😂😂😂

[@chiefslief1886]

😂😂😂👍👍

[@davecrupel2817]

Lmfao

[@Bigvs.Dickvs]

Scotty just being Scotty.

[@anoopraha7166]

😂😂😂

[@jeff3741]

Pro tip: You can save some money by just wrapping the insulation around your head. All the kids are doing it.

[@wetlettuce4768]

Or go to a shooting range with no ear defenders and find the biggest rifle to rent.

[@darthdaddy6983]

Wet Lettuce Or stay home and put a smaller caliber in one ear & out the other.👍

[@unuseableb]

Great advice! Will test later to see if it works

[@hunterhenryk]

Now, you're using common sense. Scotty would be proud. +1.

[@johnwayne2103]

The backward hat also works.

[@jasnonya3005]

That's really good info Scotty, I watch alit of your videos and you seem to have a great grasping of common Sense and automotive knowledge, thank you for sharing it!

[@SebaOPL]

Thank you Scotty. That helped a ton! I was not expecting solution is that easy👍🤗👌

[@billthompson5644]

You said, "No insulation in The Matrix", was that the Toyota Matrix?😁😀😊👍👍👍

[@aspzafar]

DUH.

[@anthonyproctor9105]

bill thompson yeah, it’s the Toyota Matrix. Your right.

[@Hebert6760]

someone really want to win that insulation 😂🤣

[@DJHeroMasta]

This guy. I just don't see how some people don't like him 😉

[@scottykilmer]

Congratulations DJHero, you have won! Email me at: [e-mail] with your full name and address, so I can mail you this soundproofing! And thanks to all entrants, don't worry, there will be another giveaway this Monday!

[@DJHeroMasta]

WooHoo Thanks!!! @Scotty Kilmer.

[@stmichael1970]

Great video keep them coming. Just catching up on some I missed.

[@beaddy101]

I love him

[@erxfav3197]

His yelling annoys and bothers me quite a lot.. What is the need of it? I just can’t watch too many of these back to back before I have to leave.. :/

[@FlowtnWitWalden]

Scotty, years ago someone told me to line the panels in the car with GAF StormGuard. It's a rubber leak barrier about 1/4" thick used in roofing with a peal and stick adhesive - readily available in Home Depot. When I re-roofed my work shed I covered the entire roof with it prior to shingling (pros only cover the first 3' from gutter) can't believe how quiet it is in there now and I live right next to a busy highway. Next it's going in my Civic project.

[@heyitsjulian8058]

How did it go?

[@victorpapillon1487]

​@@heyitsjulian8058 unfortunately the original poster has died of septic shock

[@jayson657]

I bet it will smell good in that car with that roofing material outgassing inside it. LOL

[@Marco-fi6gv]

That's awesome Scotty. I never knew you could get the stuff. I'd like to get some. Thanks once again.

[@Johnathan_Waters]

Adding sound deadening insulation is one of the best bang for your buck mods IMO. Especially under the hood, quieting down the engine makes just about any car feel more like a Mercedes S Class!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Definitely one of the best things you can do for comfort and make your sound system, sound better.

[@chrishansen5784]

I'm about to sound proof my car, already bought enough for the trunk and hood, this would help a ton!! I love watching Scotty Kilmer while eating my breakfast cereals

[@rubenesquivel7350]

You da man Scotty! Thanks again for the tip on what I was looking for.

[@christopherconard2831]

Someone show this video to Mazda.

[@dyingangelo]

Christopher Conard newer ones are loud? I was actually gonna go and test drive them today

[@premiumblue1637]

My 97 mazda is louder than sitting in the front row of a acdc concert! I hope the new models are a little more quiet than mine!

[@christopherconard2831]

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.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

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.

[@dustychevy1693]

Leonel Ventura yep, my grandfather has one and it has always bothered him how much the steering wheel shakes

[@TheoryofMastery]

I understand your comparison in the beginning, but even more than that, the angles of panels, the degree of the windshield, the body style as a whole, also makes a huge impact on the cabin frequency, which will amplify sounds created within and around the vehicle.

[@Natedorny]

I appreciate watching a vide from someone that knows there stuff AND knows how to edit and produce a watchable vid

[@controlledchaos7808]

Thanks for your honesty and expertise in a world where it's getting more and more rare.

[@muslimspeakmy]

Scotty, i love your show. You are a genuine guy. You are the layman's hero, always cost-effective and no drama. Thank you.

[@tonytober]

Video up next: The Secret to turn a Normal car to a Racecar : Remove Soundproofing! Thanks Scotty

[@markcruz7740]

very funny

[@9h-06elangbagaskaraputra9]

tonytober and put a fart can on it

[@randalsantiago5691]

Informational as usual ! Learn something new every day ! Thanks !

[@curtisvinesii1061]

Thanks for the input Scotty love your videos. I am gonna have to try this.

[@theninth5691]

Need to insulate my old car. There was some under the hood it was hanging I dunno, I just decided I didn't need that stuff so I tore it all out. We'll, my car is so loud now. Suck a stressful thing ugh... Learned my lesson lol. Insulation in the car is a beautiful thing!

[@wolviesrevenge2130]

Always informative and well produced....thanks Scotty !

[@lynnprice7844]

I just love your automotive videos. Very educational and informative!

[@walkerskii]

Your videos are awesome, I learn a lot thank you! I'm also telling friends about your channel.

[@AMindInOverdrive]

I did this with an old Ford Escort (used wood flooring underlay) a few years ago and it seemed to make a nice difference in the car's sound

[@saleemjavaid8870]

Now just gotta take all the panels off, put this stuff in, and listen to the rattle now that the panels weren’t put back properly.

[@kendelion]

And wonder how the screws and pins managed to reproduce

[@mikeprimeaux9071]

Thanks for this video! I'm wanting to do my miata in hopes of toning it down a bit.

[@joshuavega6692]

Love your educational videos gonna make my charger rt quieter, thanks Scotty

[@priuskiller]

What's cheaper? Making a Matrix into a luxury car or actually buying a used luxury car? I don't know the answer to that but making the Matrix a luxury car would be a good, fun project to do.

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Prius Killer cheaper is converting matrix. Time is money though right?

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Convert a Prius instead ;)

[@rightlanehog3151]

I own the Matrix's twin the Vibe. These are highly reliable and sturdy cars but most came with very bouncy torsion beam rear suspension. It would be much cheaper to buy a second hand Lexus in good shape than to convert a Matrix.

[@homelessdragon79]

I have been wanting to try this for a while, but I'm too scared of breaking the panels when removing them. Also. i noticed the material itself is pretty thin. Can i add multiple layers? If so would it improve the noise level even further?

[@thomshere]

Thanks so much for this and all your great and helpful videos!

[@meechiemishae4642]

I love this man's personality!!!

[@pollodormido2]

Once you remove a door panel. It never goes back the same.

[@mouthies3]

pollodormido2 spend three bucks and buy a 50 pack of door clips and it will.

[@limuemu4364]

you have to be smarter than the door panel

[@intellectracoon]

A door panel is like trust once broken it can never be the same

[@nonooohlii]

I took my wife's door panel off and put it back just fine

[@seabass22]

Depends how old it is lol. I cracked my dash on my truck, without even touching that side of it. Same with damn door panels.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Ive insulated my ride and its made a huge difference. Ive done everywhere except the doors, which will be next.

[@gayleboardman2588]

Thanks Scotty, your video was extremely helpful. We are trying to tone the noise down in our van. :)

[@janwalk9217]

Just wanted to say, I really appreciated this video. Learned a lot.

[@bradt9975]

Scotty the car whisperer

[@yeseniacoco434]

Brad T lmao!

[@dalewalker4614]

The car shouter

[@ericbauer4897]

Wow, that was a huge improvement when considering that you didn't do the floor or roof. Is that thin stuff waterproof by chance? I'd love to do the floor if my jeep, now they are loud cars, especially with mud tires humming.

[@VictorOrtiz-vg7lq]

Thank you Scotty! I’m already ordering some sound deadening material for my 300!

[@universalchiro]

Thank you for the tip. I'll give the sound proofing my truck a try.

[@mikemorales1725]

I'm too damn lazy for all that work, I'll just pop in some ear plugs and voila!

[@GymChess]

lol

[@timheidrich8032]

Same here, I'll stick it on the outside.

[@brycegetsright323]

It sounds like insulating your car will not only enhance the audio experience inside the vehicle, but also stop the surrounding cars from feeling your music. Another great video :)

[@robshekelberg5315]

Bryce Gets Right yep unless your windows are down

[@keithcronk7980]

YungGBone124127134 ITS FUNNY TO US. AND THEY THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT.

[@robshekelberg5315]

YungGBone124127134 I agree, sound deadening is important not only to have louder bass inside the car and keep more pressure in, but to stop rattle. And only ghetto people use horns lol they're cheap and sound like ass but get extremely loud, I prefer super tweeters or regular tweeters, silk dome are too sensitive and regularly blow without warning.

[@robshekelberg5315]

YungGBone124127134 like regular tweeters but way louder

[@SaraK_69]

Thank you Scotty, I saw this and showed my boyfriend. He put this insulation into my 2015 KIA Forte SX (120,000+ miles not one problem with it so far) wow! What a difference that makes. It's like driving a Lexus now! 😘

[@repentherry5505]

I need that for mine....Awesome video Scotty Thank you so much for sharing....

[@DanielLopez1994]

Clean, non-offensive comment!

[@jameshall4385]

Great video scotty. I can insulate my trunk and no one will ever hear my victims screaming.

[@brianafrojack5215]

Thanks for the video Scotty!!! I have a Ford Ranger XL base model I bought that could use that.

[@platoon1016]

As Always, Clear precise valuable information Scotty. Great Job . Thanks Norm, Semper Fi.

[@DoseofTruth]

You always put out great content, Scotty.

[@spyguythesamurai]

Well if it isn't one of the better Peterson suppliers ;)

[@alienturtle1946]

Lol, I did not see this crossover episode coming XD

[@eeeekk2822]

I hate that cats are not allowed to apply, my cat would love some sound proofing

[@Native_love]

Dude, I just discovered your videos! You are outstanding! I'm subbing! Thank you!

[@davidashcroft4852]

Thanks for the sound proofing info. Love your videos
