I travel interstate (800 km journey) a number of times a year and wanted to sound deaden the car to make the journey more pleasant and less fatiguing. I did my SUV in 2 stages using Butyl based Sound deadener with the aluminium backing. First I did my 5 doors (both the inside and outside skins). After that there were several things I noticed, 1)It dramatically reduced road noise inside the cabin (especially with city driving) 2)It significantly increased the sound quality in my cars factory audio system (you need to do both inside and outside skins of the door ) 3)It made the car cooler in summer After driving around for 4 months I then did the whole floor from firewall, seats , transmission tunnel, rear wheel arches, all the way to the boot & Tyre well. This made the car even more quiet, especially on long distant highway trips. I didn't think this 2nd stage would improve the audio but it improved the sound system even more, making the high and low frequencies noticeably more defined. Even my wife who doesn't know a thing about cars has noticed the differences at both stages. I don't think it is that hard taking the interior apart. I timed my self when doing the floor and it took me 1.5 hrs to remove the seats, centre console, floor trims and carpet all the way to the boot. Then 1.5 days to clean the surfaces and apply the sound deadener throughout. You don't need to remove the factory bitumen based sound deadener if it is not cracked or falling apart just apply it straight over the top! For anyone thinking of doing this, I would highly recommend it regardless of whether your into modifying cars or not. If you are on a budget or are a little hesitant to pull the whole interior apart just doing the doors will make a big difference. Don't forget that a significant part of road noise comes from the tyres so choose them wisely! Great Video Car Builders!
Great info, many thanks! Some questions: 1. Some tires are less noisy? First time I heard this. Please do explain. I never thought tires had a noise factor in them. 2. Instead of this laborious peel and stick, could you not just paint a thick layer of liquid rubber instead? Then a layer of aluminum roofing paint? RVs use EPDM rubber roofs and have a similar paint to refresh them every 5 yrs. What about EPDM rubber paint as a noise canceling technique?
@@lass-inangeles7564 yes, there are tires that are noisier than others, the more heavy duty and performance based tires make a lot more noise than any other tire, the quiet tires are the more comfort based tires basically
Tires, YES !! Think of the tires on 4wd off road vehicles as the worst. This is a significant difference in noise of highway tread car tires. The body shop was along the highway, and buddy used to say.." here comes a police car". Yes, they all use GoodYear ESA tires with a unique buzz sound.
"It's gonna take some time and you will not like it." I don't know where to begin on how shitty it was trying to take it out of my doors. I'll tell you though, it was SO WORTH it.
Great video guys, appreciate your efforts in making this. Im about to do the doors in my Ford Focus in conjunction with upgraded speakers and an amplifier. Y our videos have helped along with Car Audio Fabrication too.
@@carbuilders1 it was - did my doors today with construction membrane and aluminum tape. It's not much, but I feel more solid in the cab, and can't wait to do the firewall as well
I laugh at the ones who use hardware store sound deadening after taking hours taking their interiors apart. I wish I could strip the interior like you have. Is this product available in Canada. Thanks good video.
Thanks for your feedback. We are not in Canada yet however we have been shipping our lighter products there (sound deadener shipping is too expense to make it viable). Hopefully not too far away from being available in your region.
I got a question I have 2 10s in my jeep renegade wheel area with bandpass box. I have added deadner to roof and under box trunk area . When I turn speakers up sounds like I'm under. Car wash vibrates and sounds like I'm in a barrel maybe flexing not sure please help. Can some give me steps to make the rear area sound clean and not move all the panels and no flex????
Hi mate. Insul Layer is a 6mm closed cell foam, ideal for roof or behind panels that have minimal clearance and acts as a insulator and as a decoupling layer. Acoustic liner is a 12mm twin foam product (6mm open and 6mm closed- open top). It is ideally used as a modern carpet underlay to replace the older cotton jute or shoddy which can get wet, smelly and moudy. It is also often used on rear walls in utes and 4WDs. 👍
Looking at something like this for my coaster roof. I'll be using a spray foam insulation for temp control. Will these products be able to be used together?
I'm so glad I found your channel. Have been looking for something like this for months, but there are not many channels dadicated to this out there. Do you see your product in Brazil? Our nacional products are bad and nor Dynamat or Second Skin have official sellers here. Hope you do. Anyway, great videos, keep it up.
Thank you for your feedback Bruno. No, we currently do not have any distributors in Brazil however it is a market we are looking to enter some time in the future. Good luck with your project!
Hi AnxiousSloth. The Stage 1 will still be throughout and then the stage 2. With the motor in the rear you can use a heavy product as the Stage 2 in the rear, such as Mass Noise LIner, similar to what we did with the Kombi th-cam.com/video/mxLx091P3Hc/w-d-xo.html 👍
Hi Lasdil. You will need to carefully remove the plastic to put the sound deadener on the door skin. You can see how we do this in our video th-cam.com/video/x7h3fO7lJNs/w-d-xo.html go to 41:50min to see the door treatment.
Hi there. As it has an aluminium face, it will capture heat. However, if heat is an issue, you should look at heat shields that are heat-facing as the most effective way to reduce heat.
Hi there. No, you won't get any noticeable difference. If you do things like adding sound deadener to the outer skin of the door and the inner card, it makes a difference but to lay deadener on deadener it won't make a discernible difference. The deadener stops panel vibration and one layer will achieve this. You are better putting time into the next layer, mass loaded vinyl and foam underlays to blanket external noise. www.carbuilders.com.au/mass-noise-liner-lite 👍
Hi there. To stop sound? Due to the restricted space in cars, these products have been designed to best suit the restricted space in vehicles. In houses you have greater cavities and you can use heavier duty products. 👍
What about heat reduction, Does you product help reduce heat? I am primarily concerned about that since I live in a warm climate and my truck does not have air conditioning.
This will delay heat transfer. If the car was in a garage for example and then went into the sun, it would delay the heat coming in, however after an extended period it will reach the ambiant temperature. Think of an esky/cooler box etc
@@carbuilders1 this topic should be a video, I'm actually not sure why it already isn't, but I am a new subscriber so I'm sorry if you have already and I just haven't found it 😀 Anyway, sum actual figures from a real world test with 2 same vehicles, only 1 of course with this sound deadening stuff. Here in Australia, cars can become more than double the outside temp, in the outback that could be over 100°C (212°F). It would be awesome if this stuff could stop our cars from literally becoming ovens, but even if it just slows the temp increase down that would still be worth it in hotter climates 👍😁
Bitumen is normally around 2mm-4mm from factory (this needs to be thicker to achieve weight). Normally with the butyl, you will find it is 1.5 times thicker than the substrate that it is adhering to. This generally equates to around 1.4mm to 2mm to panel steel.
Hi Richard. Doors make a difference and it make be all that you need/want. I think doing the doors is an easier option to complete and then assess the outcome. 👍
I'm looking at installing aftermarket speakers. How effective would it be to soundproof only the door panels as I put my new speakers in? Note that I'm mainly after reducing door rattle, but it would also be nice to know if it would reduce the noise outside of the car as well.
Hi Grady. Yes, the sound deadening mats will stop the vibration created by the speakers in the panel. Audio guys often do both, inside and outside door skins when chasing sound quality. It will also stop some external noise however an added foam or mass loaded vinyl would multiply its effectiveness
We have en counted a few sound and heat problems with these recreation vehicles, typically heat is the problem rising up from the motor and driveline. Noise is a hard on to control as the vehicle is open, you can however target structure born vibration with dampening mats and use our foams or mass loaded vinyls to help increase driver and passenger comfort from a seating position.
Hi Teddy. If you are on a rough road or dirt road the a Sound Deadening sheet (butyl rubber) makes a significant difference. If you are highway driving the Stage 2 mass loaded vinyls are going to help dampen external noise.
I am currently trying to reduce engine and road noise of my old daihatsu f50. This is due to wife complain. My steering wheel and shifter basically vibrate so much that you could see them shake. And road noise is very audible. The only reason I keep using this car is maneuverability on tight road.
Sorry Rajubhai. We currently don't have a retailer in India. Our lighter underlays and heat sheets are fairly reasonable to ship from Australia (the heavier, sound deadening item are expensive) If you email sales@carbuilders.com.au we can provide a quote for you 👍
Hi Michal. If you are going to use the Stage 1 sound deadening (butyl with aluminium top) yes, the existing bitumen should be removed. If it is has cotton jute or another type of underlay also remove it, however you could put this back on top of the stage 1 or replace it with a modern version of underlay (closed or open cell foam). If the deadening in the vehicle is an extruded deadener applied by the manufacturer and is still in good condition you would leave it. 👍

Hi Hung Pham. Yes pads of the product will stop reverberation through the panel. Also you only need to put where it is single sheet metal.
