what's the best for insulation of road noise? I don't care about the weight too much... within reason. I hear dynomat a lot... but i just learned it's more for vibration dampening. I'm talking about road noise, engine noise... etc. Thanks

 

The only true method to do this is closed cell foam with some kind of heavy core barrier. This stuff is generally fairly expensive and you're going to have to use quite a bit since road noise is from everywhere. If you do this, try around the wheel wells (incide the cabin) first and work your way from there.

any of those damping mats you use would also reduce road noise alot! U just got to put it in the right places!

 

hey man, dynamat works real well for blockng road noise. Let me know if you need some for cheap. see below

 

You should check out Rammat. It's a helluva lot cheaper than Dynamat if you can't get a good price on the real stuff. I think it works just as well for the $.

Whats that stuff? where you get it from? Grace Ice and water shield from the Home Depot works well too and yeah, its cheap

 

Like TimeRacer said, the best way to reduce road noise is to use a closed cell foam. Dynamat (or a generic equivalent) will help some, but it's primary purpose is to damp vibration, not reduce road noise.

Check out www.b-quiet.com - their V/Lcomp products. It's a 1/2 inch thick, weighs about a pound per square foot, and costs $3.70 to $8.13 a square foot (depending on quantity & type).

 

hey do you think that stuff from B-quiet (the V or Lcomp) will fit in honda doors and the floors? It's pretty thick.

 

You might be able to get some sort of insultaion froma car audio store.

 

just gtake everything out of the car and take it somewhere to get Rhino or a similar product sprayed on it...
