Thread: Sound Deadening

How many metres squared did most people use of dynamat.

Anyone got any opinions of the cheaper stuff online on ebay?

I know you generally get what you pay for but not always.

Nicely done video!

Dynamat etc are not for full-cover. They are deadeners and you only need a patch on each panel to stop it ringing.
Roof flashing tape does the same job for a fraction of the cost.

Surely Sound deadener must still block a little bit of sound if you have full cover.
I would still look at using a sound may as well on the floors.
It would just be hard to use sound Matt on the ceiling and sided so deadener would surely help?

Sure. In the same way a file can be used as a hammer.

Haha nice....
Hmm time to think of how I will control all this sound in my cabin the best way possible..

Anyone have a rough idea of what quantity to use to do most of the vehicle including flooring, part of firewall,side panels, doors and roof?

How far would 6m squared go?

My wife regularly complains about the noise in our 2004 dual cab defender. The previous owner had dyna matted the interior but I think the key to the noise recently has been the gearbox dying!

We recently did an iPhone app dB test and peaked at 97dB a ~100kph!

I am planning to dyna matt the roof, inside of the gearbox tunnel and the bonnet once I have dropped the box and replaced with the reconnect one that has just arrived from Ashcrofts.

Any guesses on the noise reduction? Place your bets ladies and gentlemen!
