- Sound deadening your vehicle can be cheap and easy with just a small amount of soundproofing material placed in the right spots! In this video, I’ll share a before and after sound test as I add sound deadening material from Canopus in the trunk, under the hood, and inside the doors to help quiet engine noise and reduce road noise. I’ll also be testing Boom Mat sound deadening spray to see if it’s truly worth it.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to make your ride more peaceful, stick around to see the results and hear the difference for yourself. Don’t forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe if you find these car sound dampening tips helpful!

Have you tried to apply the sound deading mats on top of the wheel wells liners yet ? (Remove the liners, apply the mats on the side directed to the center of the car, not next to the wheels and reinstall the liners.) How did that impact the noise levels in the car ?
Yes I have, here’s a link to that video!! th-cam.com/video/NZlqfzl5fus/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x_F1q8SA9Jpdts-N
One of the biggest noise reductions I noticed years ago were tires. I know this is an extremely expensive change but at the time I was heavily commuting and went through tires more often than usual. When it was time to change tires, I asked the shop if there were tires that were quieter, and, violá! I think they were Michilen Pilots...Huge improvement at the time.
I agree! Tires are a huge plus for noise reduction! I should have talked about that more in the video. Cheers
@@soundproofguide In fairness though, you did say at the outset those were inexpensive tips that each made a small difference, but could add up to something significant!
Just a small note from a professional sound engineer. While your measurements using an SPL meter are helpful, a better measurement would be with a spectrum analyzer. (available for phones).
This would show at what frequency the problem sound is at and what effect the damping is having.
Overall, good ideas for making a quieter ride.
I was just about to say that, I still will post as it will be helpful. 😊
Good work, just a few thoughts. In audio engineering a 3 db increase or decrease is perceived as half as loud.😮 Next thing , just using a DB Metre is not telling the whole story, different frequencies can I have a huge effect on perceived volume, A real time analyzer, RTA, which measures the volume a different frequencies. You can download free apps to achieve this on a phone or a tablet. I think it would be interesting if you ran the tests next time using a RTA analyzer. The same is true when doing home sound isolation, STC ratings do not Consider extreme low frequencies . Hello from Montreal 😊
I‘m on the beginning of the video snd I feel like these methods cut down on the low noises but not on higher frequencies.
I personally mostly care about these since they are most annoying
Yeah, reminds me of hard old tires and concrete in Texas.
@@njmaag True, that and maybe wind noise. I've been thinking for weeks if it might make sense to apply a thin strip of dampener to the bottom edge of the windows. That part that stays inside the door.
Great Idea for an upcoming video! Thanks :)
In the new bmw 3 serie (Europe) there is an option for noise reduction folie on the windows. I don’t know if a company sell it afthermarket ( maybe it is between parts off the glass)
BMW’s noise-reduction glass is usually built into the window itself, so getting an exact aftermarket version may not be possible. However, there are third-party window films that can help reduce noise-just keep in mind they may not match the factory option’s performance exactly.
The CLD mat products don't block noise! They only reduce the resonance and echo of the panel. If you want to block noise you need to do the full 3 step process and get some closed cell foam to as an isolator between the matted panels and then get mass-loaded vinyl or do a fiberglass setup, which is what ACTUALLY blocks and/or absorbs the noisy frequencies.
on your tundra: just put on regular tires and the noise gets down to 10%
Very, very true!
Dude. At the 6:10 mark and out you look totally baked.
Light sensitive and had forgot my sunglasses. 😎😏
I’d want to cut wind noise and road noise from the tyres but keep exhaust and engine noise.
That’s a bit tricky to balance. You’d need targeted insulation where wind and tire noise enter-like wheel wells and door seals-while avoiding over-insulating the engine bay or exhaust area, so you can still hear that performance sound. Also, look for quieter tires which can be more expensive but they also have their benefits.
Drive slower. Makes your car quieter for $0.
depend, some noise are more visible at slow speed and gone at high speed
Correct.
keanu reeves, motorcycle passionate. his best is one that has the motor over a rubber. CONS it is smelly, but the elasticity of the dampening of the vibrations makes it comfortable to the driver.
car motors should be mounted this way too.
one of the most silent expensive cars is a rolls royce that has a plywood underneath, so you can't hear your own tires, which is what has more noise pollution
i am 46 i never had any car nor motorcycle because ecological ethics. a life without buying gasoline is possible. i suffer the contamination of cars near my house, breathing their fumes, the overheat of air due to roads, the light flashing and the constant noise. the lower the exhaust goes, the more the waves can pass through ciment and bricks like there were no barriers.
subwoofers at cars should be illegal. all neighbors awaken when some "disco" guy passes by. the car can't isolate the lows.
i suggest you guys install speakers closer to the ears in order to use less volume. and use the balance to adjust.
also you could prepare with plugins your car's music so the new frequencyvresponse compensates the traffic noise.
Wait till you hear that electric cars are a hundred times worse for the environment due to lithium mining and child labor. You gonna have a breakdown, bud?
@Clooger- i hate both equal because both requires road. the road overheats my air in front of my house. i have to cool down with the hose at summer several times a day.
electric or gas cars, irrelevant they both killed my dogs. they both makes tire noises, they both flash my eyes every night every ten seconds, constant traffic. they both potentially has dj's on it, blasting subwoofers without respecting my sleep. i hate both the same.
I could have reduced your sound by 30 decibels in 30 seconds
Put in ear plugs
0:24 You are incredibly wrong. Every three decibel drop is cutting the sound in half. If you can remove 10 decibels you've cut more than 300% of the sound
Hey Justin! I appreciate your comment, but there’s a mix-up between sound intensity (energy) and perceived loudness. Every 3 dB drop does indeed cut the sound’s physical energy in half. However, because our hearing is not perfectly linear, we generally need about a 10 dB drop to perceive the sound as being half as loud. In other words, 3 dB and 10 dB are both correct-just in different contexts: 3 dB in terms of measurable energy, and around 10 dB in terms of how our ears actually perceive it.
