Thread: Sound Deadening

Hi Ben,there are a number of threads on this topic and all you need to do is "search". They all report worthwhile gains in both sound and heat reduction. Cheers, 130man.

Do the roof as well...

It's amazing how much noise is from that roof!

Hey Ben, I've used Dynamat on the County. Excellent product and it worked, but expensive. Definitely do the roof, makes a big difference. I also used bostik 8152 sound deadening sheets, a lot cheaper. Make sure you understand the difference between deadening the panels and insulating the sound, otherwise you will not get the result your looking for.

Oh, and the search function on this forum is hopeless

I got a real cheap rubber solution, picked it all up from work for nowt.

Seriously though, if it bothers you good on ya for trying to sort it out.

G'Day Ben,

Did this a few years ago using Dynamat - used 3 extreme packs IIRC. Make sure you seal everything up really well before you start, no little holes, gaps or anything - anywhere.

If you havn't already, get the Puma style under door seals - they will make a big difference and don't cost much. It is also worth replacing all the little rubber gromits around the wires in the firewall as once they start to break down they will not insulate sound at all.

Without doing the above, you won't get the most out of the (significant) investment in dynamat.

The second thing that is really important is that dynamat itself will make a big difference in that it stops the panels from resonating noise and heat, but it doesn't absorb any noise in itself.

For this you neat a Vinyl or Butyl layered matt. It is like a very heavy closed cell foam matting.

The last Landie I did the roof & agree!! Next time I will buy a couple of yoga mats from Big W - they are only $12.00 each - about the area of a camp bed- and soft foam about 10mm thick- wont burn either, a much cheaper option.
