Although I knew a thing or two, there is a lot of misinformation here as well. Sound dampening and deadening is a science like any other. High Fidelity sound as well as goal oriented applications largest engineering projects. How technical do you want to get? LOL

    Thank you for the lesson on dampening and deadening. I believe this to be one of the most non-biased truth and fact filled video's I've seen on the this topic. Especially notable is the closed cell foam / butyl adhesive floor/door/roof/fire wall application. Spot on my friend. I know this video is older, but people continue to put asphalt based roof patch in their cars in 2017... Coming from a music industry back ground, and an ear for room acoustics, this gentleman has it correct. Thanks.

    I used 2 1/2 inch thick Blue Hawk rubber mats from Lowes. It is a condensed rubber mat, a thick and effective sound barrier. And it is heavy, 22 lbs exactly for this 3' x 5' solid piece. Normally sold to be a door mat in large buildings, it only costs $22 per mat. It is not covered with aluminum foil, but no heat can pierce through this mammoth; So, it is an effective heat barrier. Although it won't melt, I still use an aluminum sheet heat barrier along the muffler line to prevent any problem. A single sheet covers more than my trunk entirely. It eliminates all noises, provides a protection against shocks and increases adherence so objects stay in place in the trunk. A Dynamat, GTMat or Road Kill solution would have cost me 5 times that much for a lesser result. I also paved most of the car floor below the carpet with it. I have no more noise at all.

    I used the rubberized asphalt peel and stick rolls of underlayment when I put the roof on my small house. We did it in northern Maine in November. On a warm and sunny day, the stuff can become semi-liquid and somewhat squishy. On a cold day, it can become somewhat inelastic and brittle and it does smell in the warmer weather. I wouldn't use it on anything other than what it was designed for--roofs on a building.

    Thanks for the video. I used on my Saturn (which I just sold 3 days ago) was Quietcoat. Painted it onto all the metal surfaces. It can be painted or sprayed on, but it does have to cure overnight. Of course I then took 2" thick closed cell foam and put that under the fiber board carpeting they have behind the rear window. The air for the speakers could only go up and down.
    Now I'm just doing research for new speaker installation on my new car. Again thank you for your input.

    been in the autobody buz for along time rather then add weight to trunks doors, etc you can adjust the locks to close the panels to make a tighter seal. After all anything loose makes noise Sound waves bump in the road. With my doors I adjusted the locks 1/4 back Inside of my door panels have rocker guard (rubber) leaving the bottom lip inside untouched to let out any water the drain holes to prevent rust. The door panel frame is a x 4 8" strip of 2-way rubber tape and a sheet of plastic..added weight is around 2lbs cost me $35 CDN per door and it puts dynomat to shame

    As far as trunk rattles, I can only see two issues other then junk in the trunk, rather the rubber seal has compressed to a point where the latch rattles or its when the adhesive that holds the inner frame to the outer skin fails, this also happens on roofs.
    Of course you could have a other issues under the car that causes rattles.

  • @sniperlif3
    @sniperlif3 9 лет назад

    Ok a sound dampening material holds the panels together and softens the blow from sound waves onto the metal, if you know about shoring, it is the same idea. You spread the impact out over a larger surface area. Yes it adds weight but that is not the main abilty. As well as that the extra layers keep exterior noise outside of the vehicle. An additional benefit is that the sound dampening materials is that they also insulate the vehicle keeping temperatures stable as the insulation in your house.
    You can't just add a piece of metal onto your trunk and expect it to stop rattling. The metal is what is rattling against other metal.

  • @JoshFromPerth

    Interesting. I appreciated the reasoning, I'd like to know more about how different materials diffuse or reflect different frequencies.
    I'm seeing a lot about fabric materials "absorbing" sound quiet well at all frequencies, but absorbing doesn't seem to kill lower frequencies like that of an engine and doesn't reflect the sound seemingly like aluminium or lead barriers. I wonder if it's more effective to reflect or absorb.. tricky.
    Thanks for the tips

      I'm the guy in the video. Different account. I stopped buying subwoofers and started buying Bitcoin. :-) Anyway, you're absolutely right. Most of those products are designed to be used together. Although they have their independent benefits. Honestly, 11 years later, much of it is a waste of money. If your doors rattle, do some test.....what frequencies make it rattle.....the whole nine yards. be systematic about it. Many of these products have a HUGE markup. They WANT you to cover your car.......and a lot of the guys on youtube... 'they are sponsored to do it. (If you have the money, go for it.....they are great products. But a lot of "noobs" expect a miracle and end up spending a lot on something they didn't need.

  • @andru502
    @andru502 10 лет назад

    cld sheets like dynamat besides adding weight add mass to lower the resonant freq of the sheet metal and therefore the whole vehicle
    bass CAN have higher volume output and lower resonant freq with cld since it isn't fighting the resonating sheet metal like a woofer out of phase
    they are NOT to get rid of rattles, if you have pieces rattling put some silicone in a syringe and give a little squirt behind the pieces that rattles.
    people spend hundreds of dollars trying to fight rattles when all they needed is a 1oz syringe full of silicone

I was thinking about coating my campershell with sound deadener to try and help with the vibrations so my campershell would not start cracking. (It is fiberglass) I do not care about the noise of the rattle, I just need enough vibration control to keep it from breaking. Would gluing weights to it fix this? I feel like it would but I want to double check

  • @ackvance007
    @ackvance007 10 лет назад +6

    Mass Loaded Vinyl is best for blocking sound. Closed Cell Foam works to reduce panel noises. And Aluminium covered rubber (aka Dynamat), prevents sheet metal resonances.
    They should generally be applied -> Dynamat -> CCF -> MLV in that order. MLV needs 100% coverage. Dynamat needs 25%-50% coverage. While CCF is used as needed between friction prone surfaces.
    As you can see, Dynamat (sound deadener) is only a small part of the overall process.

  • @WhatIsMisophonia

    I know about soundproofing in general, not so much about car soundproofing specifically, though it's all the same in principle. If you're trying to keep sound from exiting or entering the car, you need extra mass (particularly dampened mass) which will line the entire inside of the vehicle. I've you're wanting to stop rattles, you need dampening between where two metal panels meet. Yes, heavier materials will have a different resonance frequency, and yes the weights you added to your hood acted like a clamp on the metal of the hood so that it didn't resonate as badly, but that's still just one part of the issue. I'm not vouching for any products or anything, just pointing out stuff. Also, foams don't deflect so much as they absorb (the sheet metal deflects more sound than the foam does). Soft closed cell foams have a sound absorption coefficient of around .5 or greater, meaning they allow about 50% of the sound to penetrate; while it is doing so, a bit of it's power is being absorbed and converted into heat. Closed cell foams seem to work better for low frequency, as they sort of behave like bass traps. Again, sort of. Oh, also if it adhered to the metal and not just sort of hanging there, it will help to dampen the resonance of the metal (the metal won't oscillate as severely nor for as long of a period of time).

    • @RennieAsh
      @RennieAsh 10 лет назад

      If you really want to reduce flex/vibration then you should probably look at using bracing in conjunction with deadener and maybe even a barrier. Adding weights will most likely just reduce the resonant frequency of the boot panels to a lower frequency....guess what frequencies your subs play? Low frequencies...

  • @RennieAsh
    @RennieAsh 10 лет назад +2

    Gluing weights may do something but why would you want to glue many many kilograms of weights to your car when you can use something better?
    Read and learn. Adding weights is like changing the springs/mass of your car. Now while this will change the resonant frequency, it will still bounce up and down for a long time...UNLESS: you have a dampener - the shock absorber. The CLD (Constrained Layer Damping) acts like a shock absorber to dissipate vibration into heat by using the butyl glue/layer and foil backing.
    While increasing the mass of your car (adding weights) will smooth out the ride somewhat, it does not dissipate vibrations very well - it simply changes the frequency response. Adding a shock absorber allows you to damp the vibrations so they are stopped in as short a time as possible. This is what CLD damping products do.
    As for closed cell foam - the foam itself may block some frequencies but it is not optimal - this is where you use a dense barrier like MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl). The foam decouples it from the panel which may still have some vibration, and blocks airborne frequencies more effectively than just foam.
    So, sound deadener that sticks onto the door panels etc. Is supposed to reduce vibrations, which can cut down on some road/engine noise, but to get the full effect you should use a CCF and MLV layer on the inner panels/floor. YOu can even go one step further and add some kind of stuffing as sound absorber for airborne sounds.
    As for asphalt - the butyl is probably better these days as it won't melt as easily and shouldn't stink. Roofing butyl tapes are generally not as effective as the real thing due to the types of rubber and adhesive, plus the fact they are generally thinner in both rubber and foil.

There is some poor information coming from manufacturers, but the biggest companies with the premium prices aren't out to rip people off. I don't believe every Second Skin product's claims, but their CLD is worth every penny.

    This guy doesn't even understand the function of a constrained layer damper! The butyl rubber adhesive is a bonding mechanism and spacer for the aluminum foil layer which is actually the damping component in this system. The foil resists the shear and compression forces that are placed upon it by vibrations in the substrate it's bonded to. This is why it's called a constrained layer damper. This system is more efficient than extensional dampers like the old Dynamat asphaltic/bitumen blend. As an Acoustical Engineer I specify and/or design damping products and our focus is on low mass, high efficiency systems. Try telling a Corvette Z06 owner that you're going to add 200 Lbs. to his vehicle to make it quiet!

      Douglas Moir what is the best product available on the US market for low mass/high efficiency? I drive a 2008 mustang and it's heavy enough lol

      Christian, Is low frequency road noise and exhaust the primary issues that you are having? You can shoot an email to me doug@cascadeaudio.com and I can suggest a system for your Mustang. We currently do the acoustic package for Shelby and the revology mustangs made in Florida.

    • @christianfleming5336
      @christianfleming5336 7 лет назад

      Yes, you're correct. Thanks Douglas, I emailed you.

      Douglas Moir Doug, I sent you an email. Did you receive it? Haven't seen a reply yet

      Lol, you think that bit of foil does anything?
      It is there to provide a surface to push against so it can adhere to other surfaces and so that the butyl doesn't rub into anything that touches it.
      The dampener doesn't do anything other than add weight, join panels and patch small holes.
      If you want a sound barrier you need something like rubber suspended over something like open cell foam.

    Thanks for the video. I just bought the peel and seal stuff yesterday but never installed it. I'm just going to buy the real stuff to play it safe.

    I hate reading comments from people who don't know anything about what they're talking about but spew incorrect information everywhere
    So an example of closed cell foam, is that like Polyethylene?

    the theory is not to eliminate the vibration, as he said resonance frequency is lowered below human hearing.
