Technically NOT noise “cancelling”, but noise “reducing”. No inverse wave is created to cancel noise. LOOK IT UP! However, I love the innovation and will probably get get one for my MYP….and Cybertruck.
Would also like to see cabin acoustic measurements before and after. I've worked with sound deadening in previous cars and while a product like Dynamat can reduce the "tinny" sound when you tap on surfaces it's applied to, and isolate connecting parts to stop rattles, I've found it's pretty ineffective at blocking/absorbing road noise. You really need to know how the noise is entering the cabin and have an effective barrier/absorber to reduce it. Also, be aware of the weight/efficiency tradeoff for EVs if applying a large amount of this stuff.
For some of the trickier pieces, it might be better to actually cut out the piece with the backer still on it, then peel it off as you stick it in place. That would prevent it from sticking to itself and parts of the car you don't want it on.
How good of a job did these thin sound panels help. My opinion, not much they to thin to block sound and the vibration will not improve much either. Sound data prior and after?
That blue tape is not because someone had that window out. That was from the factory. I have a 2018, and I recently changed out all of the door handles and the mirrors for chrome delete (wish I'd have known about these kits before I started that project). All of my windows, which had never been pulled out before had the blue tape. Tesla must've been using it to hold them on while they were doing initial assembly. Also, they broke on of the clips where you screw the 13MM bolts on my rear window and assembled it anyway. Made it a mess to get apart for me. And the worst part is you can't buy those clips separately. So you have to buy a new window to replace a broken clip (which is removable). 🤦🏼♂
NO! Federal Law prohibits such actions Federal Warranty Law: The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) The Magnuson-Moss Act regulates that vehicle manufacturers may NOT refuse warranty repairs merely because aftermarket parts have been installed on the vehicle. The only circumstance under which the vehicle manufacturer can void the warranties is when they can prove the aftermarket part is directly responsible for (ie causes the warranty) the warranty claim.
Really sad seeing you put that dynamat on then install the stock paper speakers. Great install though, dynamat is a PITA but really does improve sound deadening.
Would be nice to see the cabin acoustic before and after
Out of all the DIY conundrums I've encountered, this one surely tops the complexity chart!
Not too bad! lol
You can take it to your stereo shop and they can easily do it for you.
and certainly not worth it!
Now to the question everyone is asking; what does the results look like, % improvement?

Looks easy enough, just time consuming, will there be a video of noise level before and after? I would be interested in seeing that before buying :)

Great idea!

Do you plan to have a Model Y version of this?
Is it useful to also insulate the hood or won't that make any difference?

Dude this improved my sound system it’s wild ❤
Great to hear!
I try this one it reduce the vibration but the noise you can still hear need to add more noise absorbing mat
any data? result before and after?
I'm curious about how the science works behind this product.
Is it enough thickness?
I might have missed it, but was there any comment about Tesla voiding warranty?
Familiarize yourself with the Magnuson Moss Act

sticks better if you heat it up first

have you used it before? how much improvement did you see with it?
This customer simply wanted to improve the road noise, however Dynamat is great to pair with an Audio upgrade as you mentioned!
The sound system is very good...
Maybe it doesn’t reduce the noise so there will never be a before and after…😅
any model Y Sound Deadening kit?
We are working on one now!
Does this fit THE MODEL Y? I do not see it on your website as an option
We do not offer this for Model Y just yet.
anybody got db results from doing this?
The English accent is music to my ears. I reckon you can work blindly by his detailed instructions.
Cheers!
Yikes. Definitely worth paying you to do.
We have you covered!
It’s a nice product but diy this project is not for everyone.
it not easy..
Takes time but worth it!
that does not look easy
It's not too bad, just takes time!
