- In this video I will be sound deaden engin bay of my Toyota Tundra. I will also be using a decibel meter to determine how much noise was reduced after sound deadening the hood/bonnet of the car.
I will show you step by step How to apply a sound deadening mat to your hood. The sound deadening material I use in this video is from Canopus. Links to the products I used in this video bellow. You can choose between black and silver within each link.

Here's everything you'll want to know about soundproofing your vehicle -
Normally the under hood absorber is a molded fiberglass product intended to absorb higher frequencies. The mass loading and damping is done on the firewall itself and inside with the dash absorber.
Best part of this video was watching how clean you got the underside of the hood.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks for this
I can't believe the difference in engine noise after soundproofing my car! It's so much quieter now and makes such a big difference in the overall driving experience. Highly recommend giving it a try if you live near a busy road or have noisy neighbors. 🚗💤
Nice video! Just a quick comment: A 3dB difference does not mean "half" or "double" the sound perceived by a human, which is around a 10dB difference. 3dB applies to amplification power, since in order for an audio amplifier to produce an extra 3dB, it needs twice the power.
I did the same on the hood of my truck. My readings at 65 mph on the same road before and after installing butyl sound deadener were 71 and 69.5 db. So far that's all I've done, but I'm planning on doing more things to bring the db reading to 67. That's my ultimate goal with a US$ 200 budget.
great job on these videos !
one question: why do you cut the sheet instead of using whole sheet?
What if you just cover the whole under part of the hood?
Since you know a lot of soundproofing materials for home purposes, which products do you think would help to bring down the dB's if installed inside the doors and on the back wall of a pickup truck. The sound deadening mats and foams available for vehicles really don't seem to cut that much noise and are very expensive. I'm not sure if there's a wooly material for homes of about 0.5 in thick that could be glued onto the metal to help reduce noise. Thanks for your videos.
After only using a little so far, this is one of the best products you can add to a vehicle. I have an older chevy silverado LTZ. Has the same interior as the Denali of the same year. 3 full sheets so far have made such a dif it's hard to explain. Mine has a huge hood mat under it. The firewall would make a diff as much as anything. You could literally throw a couple scrap pieces on a panel and kill the ring in it. That's why OEM does that. 1 square on a roof skin will kill the whole panel. learn how much coverage you need and how much starts diminishing returns. You will waste a ton you don't really need. It doesn't work like those foam blocks in a sound booth. ITs made to stop the panels from becoming a speaker itself.
Thank you for that. Going to try it out because I didn’t realize talking on the phone that’s outputted to the car speaker will allow everyone outside hear everything. Even at low volume.
You must lower 10 dB to feel twice lower. Nevertheless dampening vibrations where the ear is most sensitive is essential. You have to analyse the sound. The most important is what you feel.
dB SPL levels aren't calculated this way. Twice as little power = -3dBm, twice as little voltage = -6dBV, but in this case you're actually measuring SPL (sound pressure level), human percives "half as loud" as = -10dBSPL. So difference measure here is actually small.
is flex seal a good alternative ??
moving the meter away from the windscreen and pillar to the centre lowers the reading.
Hi there!
Thanks for this! Will Noico work under the hood as well? I just applied it on my trunk last weekend and looking to use the remainder of the materials. I have about 12-15sq feet of material left
Did he use a dba or dbc meter
