Scotty Kilmer always watch to see what else I can do with my car
Scotty Kilmer wow i love to do that on my car!
My 2005 Forester is really noisy. This type of insulation treatment would probably help a lot.
Scotty Kilmer I want that 😂😂
Scotty Kilmer Does it work on the wife.
Just drive with the windows down for 5 or 10 minutes. Then roll them up. Car sounds quiet for awhile.
Haha
Can anybody else confirm this works?
Joseph Yi this works. : D
Ohh great trick🤔🤔
This is actually the cheapest and easiest solution :D
I put this stuff in my 86' Yugo and I would now say it is near luxury quality. So glad I did this instead of buying that Rolls Royce. Slightly cheaper too.
Fun fact, Rolls Royce puts 300 lbs of sound insulating material in their cars.
lmaoooo
Ahahha where are you from?
That's a whole BBW. Can you even fit that in a Rolls without the thing becoming afloat?
@@LosmiPZS balkan negde valjda
For people who aren't familiar with decibel system. It is basically exponential. that amount was a HUGE difference.
@@C0D3O Don't you believe his measurements?
@@vger5857 he did measurement of 2factory made cars, he didn't do those foam DIY ones. ok, he did, now I see. but. it should have been a symbolical difference. 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.
@@C0D3O Enlighten us with the proper system, then.
@@givemyselfthecreeps the link is in the previous reply. One have to study it a bit, the video is much more obvious and useful, then my explanation on fingers in letters
@@C0D3O I don't see the links?
Scotty wouldn't be Scotty without saying when I was a young mechanic in every video xd
True but it wouldnt be official without "today im gonna tell you why not to" and he cones up with some weird explanations
🤣😂👍👍👌👌💯💯
That is great product it worth the cost
Don't be fooled. He uses the words mechanic and gas pump attendant synonymously.
I read this comment right as he was saying it
A lot of that noise comes from Scotty yelling.
Francois Pizzardi totally worth it though
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Francois Pizzardi Doh!
hahahaha!
Gordon Reiher, Hahaha!😂😂😂now I know why my ears feel like this right now
The older I get, the less noise my car makes,LOL It looks cleaner too.
Robb's Homemade Life oh boy... lol. My grandma says the same thing. I can't wait till I get older
The older I get the less I even get in my car !
Robb`s Homemade Life ; Wow I noticed that myself , wow , wheres my floor-mats at ?
My dad's car is 5x louder than mine lmaooo. Maybe since hes a mechanic it doesnt count ? Idk. I have a Greddy Exhuast and my dad has a Meisterchraft(some german name like that)
It used to be that way for me too until I got a new hobby of going to the doctors.
Some advice from yours truly, an automotive wind noise engineer: you will always hear the loudest noise sources above all the smaller ones. If you have a db meter try to isolate where the sound comes from and target that first
Is there a simple way to do this?
yes,db meter@@bearysh
Checked my wife's car this way and as soon as I put her out.... "quiet." saved money on soundproofing, may do home next, LOL!
Good idea, throw the kids out of the house too while your at it👍
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Are you saying that she talked too much? I don't think I understand your meaning here. Please try to be more clear.
@@enermaxstephens1051 Yes, she was a real "chatty Cathy".
Scotty, I reved up my engine like you've been telling me for years. It finally blew up.
My oil pressure light came on I went to watch Scotty's video on that and his first instruction was to rev up my engine....
Wet Lettuce 😂😂😂😂😂
@@92Tabler Maybe next time you should put black tape over oil pressure light. Works every time.
I did that a few times too!! In the freezing winter, first thing in the morning. Wondered why I had to keep topping up oil.
When I had the stereo put in my car I had them put this stuff all over. Did not realize how loud my car was before, crazy. I know some people say stereos are a poor investment, and they are, but I am in my car 20 hours a week and it was not a major expense for me. It has made my commute way more enjoyable. The music has greater clarity and the podcast I listen are easier to understand at a lower volume level.
2:02 Then you take isopropyl alcohol
*phhisshhkk** 😂😂
“Lack of insulation in the matrix” has me laughing
.
Need to protect the fabric of spacetime for it to be quiet!
@@achilleasdavid40 Yeah, cause you dont want to hear the next door universe neirbors having sex
Same. The Rolls wouldnt fit in the garage anyway. Not that I have one.
some cheap cars have good isolation like mazda 3 and maybe that new nissan sentra.
i knew i can always put a seat cushion in my car to solve that problem, but for the sound isolation im about to find out.
I would insulate my trunk with that product. Keep me from hearing the screams. 😱
1 piece of good duct tape will save you money..
Why would you want to quiet them though?
Lol
You, sir, are hilarious!
Aaaand probably disqualified yourself from the free drawing, because I'm sure someone will be offended.
My solution to that is pre-deadening them before installation into the trunk.
Did I say that out loud?
Now this begs the question why car makers don’t put them in and charge a couple hundred dollars more? Probably market segmenting to allow the luxury cars to appear more luxurious than they are.
because its to labor entensive adds more weight and cost
I agree.
Alan_Akbar only labour intensive if it's not done during assembly.
Because weight affects mpg. This is why our cars are plastic.
car companies are always looking to save even a penny here or there. That's why some of them notoriously decided it was cheaper to pay lawsuits for folks injured than it was to make the cars safer
I enjoy Scotty's so-called yelling. It's comforting, reminds me of our house growing up. Similar to the Sicilian household, Andalucians can also sound like their having an argument when they're really just having a normal conversation.
Yes very passionate people🤌🏼
Same with us germans
Insulation amplifys farts for your passengers.
The Dude what do you mean by amplifys?? And for them like its a gift?
@@AuRowe The greatest Gift of all.
Stay gold.
Scotty took the red pill, he knows the truth about the Matrix !
Prove it
magicrobharv lmao
He is the chosen one.
I just did sound deadener and ½" insulation in my 68 Firebird. I used a different brand, but I can attest that this is worth doing. The floor temperature is greatly reduced. The interior is very solid sounding. It was some moderate work. I'm glad I did it.
This is what I need for my Mazda 3 hatch. Highway travel is just horrendous.
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
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.
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.
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.
@
The quieter tires tend to have less grip though.
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.
Definitely one of the best things you can do for comfort and make your sound system, sound better.
Scotty love your segments helped me a lot with different things on my car and with other people thank you very much keep up the good work 50 years of mechanics is helping everybody
I love this man's personality!!!
the issue about car stereos cannot be overstated.
if you want your system to sound good, it's much more cost efficient to add sound insulation to your car as opposed to wattage to your stereo.
NewGoldStandard thosd things should be outlawed
rhaven50. Used correctly, They save lives!
Personally I just turn up the stereo to full blast, won't hear my failing suspension systems then....
What if the stereo is broke?
Kristupas Antanavicius I'm sure Scotty has a video on that
I drove around with earplugs in when I had my truck. Headphones are good too.
Taylor Hennesey CVT droning sound 😔😔
I used to have a 3-door 1993 ford escort, and I took the carpets and door cards out and put a couple of layers of wooden floor underlay foam down. Man that car felt so much quieter!! Best update I ever did
Lol. I am doing an 'upgrade' on my 93 Escort wagon. 220,000 miles. Had it since 95. Have to patch some rust holes in floor. Was thinking of doing a 'wood' floor. Cant believe I found someone that tried it. And on a 93 escort... 😂
@@mikerevello3828 No, I just used wood floor underlay...the foam LOL
After watching your videos for a very long time, I decided that I need sound insulation in my headphones. I have a special playlist for you Scott, it's called "lower headset volume". But besides that, you are frikin' awesome man. Thank you for your work!
I rather have better insulation in a car than having useless techs like start stop tech, auto-park assists and lane departure sensors.
Here! Here!
Me too
I have an '88 rx7.....what is traction control? Uhh, abs? You have airbags?! Wtf are those??? So there's bags full of air for when you crash? Ya'll people are weird: You prepare to crash.
Auto Park can be useful though. Let us be fair.
Lane assist is especially helpful during the rain.
Folks who use park assist shouldn't be allowed to drive. Start/stop saves a lot of fuel. The amount of fuel used to start a vehicle is approximately the same amount the engine spends every 7 seconds at idol
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!
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
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).
Tf is a tyre??
Joey Shy lrn 2 other countries exist ;)
Rennie Ash people who know this tire trick. Are the only ones who really know
I appreciate watching a vide from someone that knows there stuff AND knows how to edit and produce a watchable vid
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.
How did it go?
@@heyitsjulian8058 unfortunately the original poster has died of septic shock
I bet it will smell good in that car with that roofing material outgassing inside it. LOL
Another thing people overlook is a set of good tires to reduce road noise
Balls Deep yup that a big noise generator. I notice it when I switch to winter tires
Balls Deep very true, my car chants like a banshee on the highway, I need new tires bad
Any brands you recommend??
danny D - All depends on what you drive & what you do with your ride..
I use toyo open road. Good middle man between highway & mud tires... However if you don't do off road they are not worth the 1500 for them...
danny D I had set of cooper zeon RS3a rated for 50,000 miles. Tires wore down to the wear bars after 23,000 miles and my car was noisy on the highway. I just recently bought michelin defenders and my car is very quiet on the highway and my gas mileage has improved also
Every time you come out with a video you have another reason for me to spend money on my vehicle.
William Rowe Auto addiction 😁
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience. My favorite go to guyguy when i have questions. I wouldn't mind putting some on my car.
I put sound insulation in my 09 wrangler for road noise deadening, which was nothing but a god-sent blessing, but it also improved heat insulation dramatically making the summer days more bearable for short journeys. Without it, the cooling took almost half an hour to get the cabin cool in 45 degrees c heat, now we r in the 10min range!!! I love the stuff!!
Great advice. Make sure you clean off the metal or plastic with alcohol as it will not stick well. Make sure you have the tools to remove interior trim and plastic pieces. It will allow for much easier removal without damage.
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!
I love all of your videos! they're easy to follow, with good tips and GREAT info!
If you are short on money, the most efficient panels to insulate, in order, are:
-Floor
-Doors
-Trunk
-Pillars
-Roof
Ways people fix noisy cars : Germans will dissasamble the car, every single part of it, get it fixed and assamble it again. Americans will go buy a new car. Mexicans will turn up the volume of the stereo.
Lmao !!
Or add louder pipes.
Growing up in pr, i thought driving with the windows up was for highway and adverse weather...otherwise, windows were always down. What is a noisy car?
Top of the line Mercedes has double pane windows, to keep the noise out. Dear Scottt, should i bug Mercedes?
wren460 AS A MEXICAN, I APPROVE OF THIS COMMENT!!!! LMFAOOO
Someone show this video to Mazda.
Christopher Conard newer ones are loud? I was actually gonna go and test drive them today
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!
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.
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.
Leonel Ventura yep, my grandfather has one and it has always bothered him how much the steering wheel shakes
Thanks for your honesty and expertise in a world where it's getting more and more rare.
Hey Scotty just wanted to say thanks for all these information videos, they’re very helpful
That matrix picture was hilarious lol
Very interesting! TY for sharing.
Dirty, offensive comment.
Mercedes Benz
Thank you for the tip. I'll give the sound proofing my truck a try.
Thanks Scotty! Your informative videos always keep my attention!
A clean, non-offensive comment.
I’m offended 🤓
Daniel Gutierrez Yeah...me too man what can we do about it?🤓🤓
Open the pod bay doors HAL
You are offensive towards dirty comments by implying that they are offensive.
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.
BPEK Supra Interactive I wonder how some of the coatings would effect sound? Like bullet proof film, may be multi-use.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you Scotty! I’m already ordering some sound deadening material for my 300!
What a straightforward solution that would never occur to most of us. Thanks for sharing!
You always put out great content, Scotty.
Well if it isn't one of the better Peterson suppliers ;)
Lol, I did not see this crossover episode coming XD
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.
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
Hey Scotty, can you use that sound meter on yourself and let us know YOUR average dBA (if it goes that high)?
The joy of the internet is that nobody suspects that I'm a cat.
Golden Grenadier sssshhhhhh your going to blow all of our cover.
NOBODY
And nobody cares.
meeooww ..love Scotties vids
Pro tip: You can save some money by just wrapping the insulation around your head. All the kids are doing it.
Or go to a shooting range with no ear defenders and find the biggest rifle to rent.
Wet Lettuce
Or stay home and put a smaller caliber in one ear & out the other.👍
Great advice! Will test later to see if it works
Now, you're using common sense. Scotty would be proud. +1.
The backward hat also works.
Seriously brilliant! I recently discovered Scotty's channel and have been on a binge watching all his vids. Very informative. Thank you Scotty
Thanks for the support!
His wisdom shows when he speaks... Respect.
Scotty, I've watched dozens of your videos and they all seem to be spot on insightful and well done, thank you.
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.
Prius Killer cheaper is converting matrix. Time is money though right?
Convert a Prius instead ;)
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.
That “sounds” great!!!
Thanks for this video! I'm wanting to do my miata in hopes of toning it down a bit.
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
You said, "No insulation in The Matrix",
was that the Toyota Matrix?😁😀😊👍👍👍
DUH.
bill thompson yeah, it’s the Toyota Matrix. Your right.
someone really want to win that insulation 😂🤣
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.
You da man Scotty! Thanks again for the tip on what I was looking for.
If you keep talking so loud no isolation is good enough.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Perfection man 😂😂😂
😂😂😂👍👍
Lmfao
Scotty just being Scotty.
😂😂😂
Scotty, i love your show. You are a genuine guy. You are the layman's hero, always cost-effective and no drama. Thank you.
Always very informative and amusing. The sound deadening info is great. I'm going to give it a try.

Great video keep them coming. Just catching up on some I missed.
I love him
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.. :/
Ive insulated my ride and its made a huge difference. Ive done everywhere except the doors, which will be next.
Dude, I just discovered your videos! You are outstanding! I'm subbing! Thank you!
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! 😘
Clean, non offensive comment
james4v I’m offend
Move along.
Scotty the car whisperer
Brad T lmao!
The car shouter
Thanks Scotty, your video was extremely helpful. We are trying to tone the noise down in our van. :)
Would love to try some of that to soundproof my semi. Love your channel always get a lot of good information off of it
Clean, non-offensive comment!
Might be a bad idea, but 50 cents worth of ear plugs do a good job. Then turn the radio way up so it sounds normal and you won't even hear your car. Or the police siren behind you.
That is possibly the worst and most idea I have seen suggested on UA-cam
@@dnbmania i know right? Like i even want to buy ear plugs and blast my stereo now lmao
For some reason putting in ear plugs made me drive worse. For awhile then i adjusted. Car was just so loud i had a headache.
lol
I knew the basics but did not want to mess up my new Highlander (dyi'er). This video was the encouragement booster I needed, so thank you Scotty Kilmer. On a side note to all the negative cloggers on this site, please go away, there are serious people who just need help and reassurance... (Now its daddy time) There is nothing more worthless than expressing your opinion in a negative fashion, it helps no one and others think your a fool.. Its not to late to change, you have to want it! Thanks again Scott!!
Hi Scotty. Great video. I have been considering doing this to our 2018 RAV 4. It is definitely noisier than my old 2007 Avalon. I probably should wait til the warranty expires tbough. Happy New Year to you and your wife.
Sound deadner is worth every penny when it comes to audio. I'd love to try the stuff you have. Never seen that brand before
casperskafs man I haven’t seen your channel since like 2014 dude .. crazy!!
Wasnt worth it for me.
My car rattles with certain audio frequencies so this would be great to have
Liam Weaver If you have alot of power running to your speakers, this wont do anything and will be a waste of money.
That foam is very thick. Usually I noticed cheap car the insulation are either very thin or not exist at all.
That's awesome Scotty. I never knew you could get the stuff. I'd like to get some. Thanks once again.
Amazing what they can do with thin insulation. Thanks Scotty 🎶
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.
And wonder how the screws and pins managed to reproduce
Always informative and well produced....thanks Scotty !
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!
This is really neat. Another project, great.
I'm too damn lazy for all that work, I'll just pop in some ear plugs and voila!
lol
Same here, I'll stick it on the outside.
Once you remove a door panel. It never goes back the same.
pollodormido2 spend three bucks and buy a 50 pack of door clips and it will.
you have to be smarter than the door panel
A door panel is like trust once broken it can never be the same
I took my wife's door panel off and put it back just fine
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.
Liked your video on sound deadening. I have a 1994 F150 that I've had almost since new with nearly 400,000 miles. I think it would be a good candidate for sound deadening, at times it's hard think inside old faithful.
Have you tested the difference between putting a foiled sun shield outside under the wipers vs inside on the dash? It seems to keep my truck much cooler by preventing the sunshine from penatrating the glass and warming it. Try it, you may be surprised.
Thanks for the input Scotty love your videos. I am gonna have to try this.
Most of the sounds in my car comes from my girlfriend, will this product still work?
martinsen073 open her window and lock it. Shuts her right up
I bet if you wrapped her head up in that stuff it would quiet her right down! just be sure to poke some ventilation holes !
Hugh G. Rection you're too kind. I also lock the window, but in the closed position and then i rip a sloppy rancid one.
Duct tape is pretty cheap ....
put the stuff over her mouth
I hate that cats are not allowed to apply, my cat would love some sound proofing
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
After installing this isolation, my Rod Steward CDs will sound much criscier than before. Reminding me of your voice
