Great video. As an aside, it's not necessary to have 100% coverage with the dampening sheets to have sound dampening be effective. Effective sound dampening can be achieved with 50% coverage; 75% will yield better results, though it's not a linear relationship. The returns diminish greatly above 75%. This is not a criticism of what Tacomaholic did, but simply a way for others to plan for how much material is needed to achieve effective sound dampening. Cheers...
Just ordered my sound deadening a couple nights ago, thanks for the excellent video showing the install. Going to start with the rear wall and floor up to the storage bins to start since I'm building a rear platform for gear storage during road trips and it's definitely a whole lot louder now that everything is removed!
Great job! I recently upgraded my speakers and receiver and I used kilmat sound deadening in the doors. (From Amazon) between the sound deadening and the new sound system, It's a whole new driving experience. Now i can do behind the seats.. Thanks Tacomaholic. TacoBob
@@Tacomaholic The products that I used are from B-Quiet. I used their two part system along with a hood liner. Going from a Dakota to the Tacoma was eye opening as far as road and wind noise. I put the Ultimate eveywhere in I could inside the cab, roof, doors and rear panel. I then put the VComp in the door panels, roof and back panel over the Ultimate. It took me the weekend to do the job. No more tin can sound if you tap on the doors or roof, just a thud.Here's links to the exact products. www.b-quiet.com/products/b-quiet-ultimate-50sqft www.b-quiet.com/products/b-quiet-vcomp www.b-quiet.com/products/b-quiet-hliner BTW - really enjoy your videos.
Just finished installing this. Everything Tacomaholic says in this video is true. It is SUPER easy to work manipulate. Did my back wall with about 2 1/2 of the 9 sheets you get. Only took about 1.5 hours to do it. You CAN do this effectively without the roller tool but I can see how it will reduce fatigue in the hand muscles. Took it for a drive and, WOW, what a result. Great suggestion.
@@Adam-eo5yl I have the access cab and did not do the half doors, so I'm not sure. I have so much left over that I would ASSUME one box will work for the double cab.
I know this is and old video, but how come your Tacoma does NOT have the cabin vents in the back? I have a 2018 SR5 and a lot of road noise coming from the cabin vents on the rear. What year is your Tacoma?
I used the same material and even the same roller! Haha. But I also added a 4mm foam sound absorber on top of the deadener. It makes a world of difference for road noise! Even the stock cheap speakers sound better inside!
Thanks for this nice walkthrough. I just bought a 2nd Gen Tacoma and had a new sound system installed including a subwoofer behind the drivers side back seat. It sounds great except for the rattle sound in back. I’m hoping this will tighten things up. I’ll probably do the doors to since I have enough material.
Just wish I would have wanted a few more of your videos before jumping directly to Amazon and ordering. I now have my large box of silver Noico when I could have probably gotten away with a smaller box of black. I'm doing the panel of molle install like yours. Good thing I also ordered the foam pad. I have the rear window motor to cover after I install the molle panel. Keep the videos coming.
I'll do this as soon as the weather warms up. 80 mil Noico, plus 110 mill Noico thermal barrier on the back wall of my '18 TRD. I already did all the doors and that made a big difference. All the noise seems to come from that back wall at this point.
I just upgraded my door speakers and added a amp as well as a pioneer AVH-W4400NEX head unit. Sounds great now! I plan to sound deaden the doors and rear wall next. Did you find a noticable difference in the sound after you put in the deadening mats? It's a lot of work and I have never done it before but.... I still am planning to do it.
Hey buddy! I need to do something about my factory sound system too. Yes huge difference so far and I've only done the rear wall and haven't re-installed the rear seats or plastic cubbies which should add more sound barrier. I'm going to do my doors as well when it warms up a bit. Cold weather would make working with that material a pain.
I wish I could have seen a before and after android or iphone sound meter test; just to tell how big of an improvement you get out of this. Is it dramatically quieter or a little quieter?
@@Tacomaholic Possible approach: (but dangerous) Only on a lonely stretch of road or gargantuan parking lot. Create a drawing of the inside walls of the truck. The unrestrained passenger uses a decibel meter to move about taking and recording readings on corresponding areas of the drawing while the driver only drives. The passenger takes readings at highway speeds near parts of walls and records the results on the drawing to observe and record near the doors, floor, firewall, back wall and ceiling. Use a parabolic sound reflector (like a cheap plastic cereal bowl or plastic custard bowl on the microphone) to only gather sound level readings from each surface that could be treated with sound deadening; since we know the sound is not coming from the center of the cab; but the parabolic shape would reduce echo from other areas.
Good question. This is a 2014 (2nd Gen) and they must be in the rear pillars since they sure aren't on the back wall like they are in the 3rrd gen Tacomas.
@@Tacomaholic ok that is what I was thinking. Mine is a 3rd gen.2017 And right now I have a water leak issue with them. Tring to get that fix before I do sound deadening. The water destroyed the sub box I had in there. Well thank for the reply my taco friend.
I have a magnaflow exhaust on my 18 Tacoma the drone around 2500-3000 rpm’s is bad, will this mod be worth the hassle? Will I notice a huge difference. In your opinion. Thanks
I've got a Flowmaster on my Tacoma and have had my rear seats removed for awhile now and noticed a big difference with just the sound deadening material. With the seats installed it would be even better. I plan on doing all 4 doors when the weather warms up.
Tacomaholic Yeah gonna do a lot. First will be lift and AT tyres and wheels, then bull bars with light kit, skid plate, rock sliders... eventually a snorkel, possibly a CB radio. I like your channel because it gives me ideas on other things too.
If you want to disperse any charge remaining in your system quickly after disconnecting your battery, simply touch the positive and negative leads together. Then leave the vehicle for about 5 minutes and you'll be good to go. Also, you can remove that rear trim piece without fear of setting the airbag off, the sensors for the airbags are roughly located near the front bumper and under the center console. Removing that panel won't be removing the airbag, so you could remove the panel and simply work around the airbag to ensure you don't interfere with it's operation.
I know this is an old video, hopefully you see this comment! But I’m about to order some of this stuff for my taco, would the 18 sq. Feet be enough for the back wall and all for doors?
Greetings Andrew! I bought the 36 sq ft version and used about half for the back wall so would recommend you get the 36 if you are planning on doing the doors as well. 👍
Tacomaholic I don’t recall. I was reading a comparison about the noico brand vs some of the more expensive ones, and the main complaint they had was the “cheaper” ones like noico were asphalt based and gave off a horrible smell when temperatures got hot.
Sorry I missed this video until now. The sound dreading plan is underway now! 👍 For my truck I went in another direction, I installed a white noise generator and have noise canceling head phones. It is an incredible combo.The only downside so far, is not hearing the officers questions, but that worked out OK, once I showed him my AARP card and kept saying WHAT? every time his lips moved--My court date is next Tuesday😏😁😁😁
To my understanding these aluminum backed butyl mats are for vibration dampening only and do not need to cover 100% of the truck surface as it is not a sound isolator. Following the butyl sheets you should apply some closed cell foam (good) or mass loaded vinyl (best $$$) as your true sound isolator. I noticed you did apply some noico red foam, how was the difference between just having the butyl mats vs having both applied?.. im wondering if the closed cell foam is worth adding on top
@@blakeepperson3902 Oh heck yeah. It made a big difference and if you want to take it a step further you can add this stuff on top of the sound-deadening: amzn.to/3iFjx5r

Thanks for watching Kevin!
@@Tacomaholic Would you recommend going with something even thicker like 164mil?
@@farmermike9262 I guess that would provide a little more insulation but at the cost of added weight and price.
you can heat up the material with a hair dryer to soften it up and make it more pliable to get into the tight bends.

Seriously appreciate the instructions Boogie! Just deadened the rear cab and front and rear doors with a complete system upgrade! Thanks you!
One of the very first things I did was totally gutted the inside of my Tacoma and added sound deadener. Big difference!

Thanks for watching! You could always use any excess Noico material in your doors.
I'll do this as soon as the weather warms up. 80 mil Noico, plus 110 mill Noico thermal barrier on the back wall of my '18 TRD. I already did all the doors and that made a big difference. All the noise seems to come from that back wall at this point.
I bet doing the ceiling would help alot as well.
@@Tacomaholic Absolutely. 'll likely put a Prinsu rack on the roof this spring. I doubt will make the roof quieter at 70MPH.
My 2006 Avalon had felt padding and it was quiet. I did the doors and back panel in my 2010 TRD sport.

@@Tacomaholic have you seen the videos of people using stuff from home depot to sound deaden vehicles for a fraction of the cost?
@@Drew4078 Haven't seen that yet. What stuff?
@@Tacomaholic there are a few people that used this type and said it was just as good as the dynamat or fat mat expensive stuff.
Dynamat is crazy expensive but the Noico stuff I used is much cheaper.
I wish I could have seen a before and after android or iphone sound meter test; just to tell how big of an improvement you get out of this. Is it dramatically quieter or a little quieter?
It was a noticeable improvement but would be even better if you are still running the back seats.
@@Tacomaholic Possible approach: (but dangerous) Only on a lonely stretch of road or gargantuan parking lot.

So just question what year is that taco? And where is your cab vents located?

@@johnniesummers5823 Sure thing. Just make sure you DON'T cover up those vents with sound deadening.
You have a video on how to remove the back seats ?
Yessir I cover that in this vid: th-cam.com/video/-N5nTVyXbLI/w-d-xo.html
Off topic question. How do we turn off the seat belt chime?
I grabbed one of these to use when offroading at slower speeds: amzn.to/3pj92bP
I wonder how much of a psycho path he looked like in that parking lot at the beginning lmao
I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of Charles Manson.
Loved norko used it on my truck. Easy install, and it seams warmer in winter n cooler in summer. And typical chad in a parking lot. Lol
I plan to do this with the same products. Thank u.
So this keeps sound in so you can’t hear the sound outside of the truck ?
It helps block road noise from outside the truck.
I have a magnaflow exhaust on my 18 Tacoma the drone around 2500-3000 rpm’s is bad, will this mod be worth the hassle? Will I notice a huge difference. In your opinion. Thanks

Awesome! I should have my Taco by Wednesday.
Very cool. Brand new??
Tacomaholic Yup! Off-road manual. I got the 2018 because it’s the same as the 2019 but is cheaper due to incentives. I went with the cement colour :)
Awesome. I love that cement color! Got any mod ideas to get you started?
Tacomaholic Yeah gonna do a lot. First will be lift and AT tyres and wheels, then bull bars with light kit, skid plate, rock sliders... eventually a snorkel, possibly a CB radio. I like your channel because it gives me ideas on other things too.

What's that bag on the back of your front seat hanging from the headrest?
It's one of these: amzn.to/2R5QgTH with some molle pouches attached. Love it!
Liked the intro!!! Is it double paned sound deadener?
Thanks! I didn't see the term "double paned" mentioned anywhere on the product page.

Greetings Andrew! I bought the 36 sq ft version and used about half for the back wall so would recommend you get the 36 if you are planning on doing the doors as well. 👍
Thought you had a step daughter but live this cause going to do a nice stereo install
Was the one box enough for all four doors?
Easily, and I put that stuff EVERYWHERE inside the doors.
Did jump over and order the Tub-o-Towels, though.
I LOVE the Tub-o-Towels. Great product.
Dayum, you are good brother, 86 thumbs up so far not one down.,. :) keep up the great work!!
Have you had any problem with the smell? I read a review that said because the noico is asphalt based when it gets hot, they emit an awful smell.
Nope not at all. Where did you read it was asphalt based?

Are you gonna do a sound system on the Tacoma
Maybe something mild.
Have you ever felt the need yet to possibly regear the truck due to this added weight?? I know, crazy expensive mod..
I'll definitely regear at some point but the trans feels fine for now even with the added weight.
East coast gear supply is one of the more affordable options
To my understanding these aluminum backed butyl mats are for vibration dampening only and do not need to cover 100% of the truck surface as it is not a sound isolator.

The closed cell foam does make a huge difference.
Do you know of a mod that will automatically turn on air conditioning when car gets hot parked in the sun.
Hmm, automatically? No. But if you get a remote start and leave the AC on that would work. Still have to turn the remote start on though.
