It's the hydrogen that explodes, the goop is of minimal concernQuote:

More to the point (of addressing the OP's noise concern):
You can seal the lid of the box (and internal sides if you have made any holes), and leave the holes in the bottom / external sides for ventilation.
Thanks everyone.
I've sealed _most_ of it.. the main holes and stuff, but I've left the drain in the bottom (which is covered underneath).
Also put dynamat on it and will replace the foam to seal under the hatch.
Should make a big difference :)
