For anyone wondering why 'its only 6dB quieter'''; decibels are exponential, so that still means in terms of decibel its about 50% quieter than before. Gains :D
This video is great 👍 because you keep things moving you don't spend 5 boring minutes talking about what your going to do This was well done guys . Great job!
I think you guys have done really well. The 3dB drop you are getting is half the noise (power) has been eliminated. The other thing to consider is that the "noise" we perceive and bothers us is a smaller part of the spectrum than the sound level meter registers. You want some noise like the rumble of the exhaust, the sound of the engine and the suspension because if it changes, you know there is something to fix long before it becomes a deep pain in the wallet. Perhaps the roof and the firewall someday, but see how you go before you bight off more than you want or need to chew. Again, great job, good choice and a great video too!
Yeah we are thinking of maybe doing those spots in the future, but like yeah its a huge improvement already and Liams well not exactly going for the most quietest car around, but its a heap better now!! Thanks for the words Benny as always means a lot ! :)
A quick hint when cleaning something, don’t dip the cleaning tool back in to dirty liquid already in the bucket, then use the tool again on what you’re cleaning. Have a 2nd bucket of clean liquid to dip the brush or sponge in to before you start cleaning again. 👍🏻🇦🇺
Yeah we were thinking about doing it bu, didn't really have enough + Liam wasn't sure if he would be able to get the roof liner back on like a factory finish!
i've just gone through all of this with my troopy and the final piece of the puzzle was getting the old exhaust fixed!! Had some big rust holes in it. Really helped sort out the diesel rumble- much quieter now. The deadening helps heaps with road noise and vibrations!
Nice work boys. Good to see up and coming content creators actually doing useful stuff and learning (not just creating stuff for the sake of creating stuff).
Great video my pal. I've always been a fan of such stuff. Just a tip to you to consider. I found out that the best sound deadener in the world comes from the Junk yard :) I went to my local junk yard and asked for the factory sound proofing + carpet of a Mercedes S class. You buy it and trim it to the size of your car, then boom you have the luxuries of a German car.
Just rewatching some videos before you put the soundproofing in and holly shit it’s so good when watching. I just cute out enough so u can still hear the engine but hear u 2 really well
Another good way to reduce noise is an additional weather strip rubber around the internals of the door. Clark rubber have different profile rubber that will work with the factory door rubbers. Did it years ago on an old Holden.
Aussie Arvos Might help to stop the water coming in a bit too 😉 Get the door rubber with the stick on backing. Thin stiff woks best otherwise your door gets hard to shut.
I was going to do that on my gq wagon and did not know what to use after watching this I know exactly what to use 🤙 good work boys keep it up till next time 👍👍👍
Cheers lads, was thinking of doing this to my GQ to take out the engine noise. This is the first video I've seen that directly addresses the difference in engine noise, could be a dash out operation for me 😂
Hey fellas. if you do under the gearsticks boot it will make a ridiculous amout of difference in how quiet it is, i sound deadened my whole cab and until i did that tunnel section it wasnt anywhere near as quiet as it is now. i did a layer of sound deadening, 3mm rubber and then the acoustic liner and screwed it back down. 100% reccomend for any patrol alot of sound comes from there keep up the content!
You guys are getting much better with these vids. A lot more professional. Well done! I put Dynamat through my GU and it made a big difference, especially on a long day's driving on dirt. Goodonyer :-)
Measuring noise in db can be very deceptive. For every 3db you either double or halve the sound energy. The results you got are fantastic, no wonder you noticed it right away. Well done.
Couple of questions.. 1) why did you not just stick the mass noise liner onto the vinyl as the original underlay was. 2)Why did you not use Acoustic liner in place of mass noise liner. Bye the way it was an excellent video present. Thanks
Been thinking about this for gq ute. So good to see someone else do it. Good results to. Maybe mounting camera and db meter for clearer video. Say Like way to much. Subscribed keep the videos coming.
9:06 Wait ... you guys are from Australia? So why you don't appear upside-down? 10:35 If you want a silent car you have to do a lot more and add also a 3rd layer with foam-damping stuff. The roof is literally naked under it's covering. The inner side of the doors, the inner side of the dashboard and the firewall are still naked too. After you've done this all you finally can hear what is also rattling or squieking or humming. ʎuɐɯɹǝ⅁ ɯoɹɟ sƃuıʇǝǝɹ⅁
Doing my rattle box hilux doing to the doors roof and floor up to the firewall made the biggest difference for noise but the biggest difference I noticed was music sound quality is better and it’s heaps cooler on a hot day inside now
Technically, there is always an improvement. Is the improvement justified by the money spent and significant weight increase ? The more you reduce Noise A, the more you’ll make Noise B be more prominent. On such an old clunker, it’ll still be a very noisy and clunky vehicle
Plus you fellas did not do the firewall so you have no change between the engine and cab. I did a job of that first layer in my Ute plus the roof but not firewall. So good. People love to go for a drive in it now and it's easy to hear each other talk. I can tell your job is ultra sweet from the absence of noise around your speech. But you'll still hear the motor. My BMW has 30mm on the floor from factory.
How good is the finish, I did the full kit to my wagon and love the results. The improvement to the Stero and taking out the rattle of the old 1hz was awesome. It was a real pain in the ass stripping all the plastic trims and roof liner off a 105 though.
mad the music so much better!! and yeah the cab had a heap of echo and little noises to it that are all gone now! and it just seems to dampen everything really well !
hey i got a old 91 ln106r hilux and i pull out the old Sound Deadening and i put in the new Sound Deadening from trufit and it made difference it done about 545880km atm almost at to 55000km
Nice work! What's thte temp difference like? Having a single cab in QLD sun makes it feel like the aircon is fighting a losing battle, would you consider doing the roof?
We are down in vic and haven't had to have the aircon on yet haha but its definitely cooler around the trans tunnel, but maybe might do the roof in the future! heard it does a lot in terms of noise and insulation!
Yeah, and also. If you want your music to sound even better and stop more road noise. Use the rubber layer to cover the door behind the door cards. Will make audio sound alot better
@@AussieArvos and one more thing. Spray on sound deadener up in the wheel arches where the floor pan is. All in there, a few heavy coats really helps noise coming from the wheels

Doing the roof takes a lot of noise out as well 👍🏻

A bonnet liner makes a big difference too!
@@AussieArvos I just did my roof, and everyone tells me it makes a big difference, can't wait to hear it!! Good luck mate!
Also the firewall will help a lot
@@projectkod Hi, Did the roof make a big difference, on some other forums they say it makes the least amount of difference after the Floor and Doors

Get the door rubber with the stick on backing. Thin stiff woks best otherwise your door gets hard to shut.
Bit of a tip I used with my GQ. With removing the old insulation on the vinyl, use a wire drill and methylated spirits and she comes straight off.
I was going to do that on my gq wagon and did not know what to use after watching this I know exactly what to use 🤙 good work boys keep it up till next time 👍👍👍

Always good when you get a good stick.
Nice Fellas, time to Raptor coat the Patrol body.
Done well kiddo!!
Thanks Qubad!!
Look good enough to cover up the holes in my floor pan. 🤙 Patrol!

Great video. I did my LR Defender. You should do your roof too. Made in my case a difference too.
doing the roof will really help on highways

Another great video guys. Been contemplating doing this myself. Looks like a good kit you used. Very thorough explanation of the installation process.
Yes mate don't hesitate if you're hanging on to your vehicle. It's what the factories should be giving us.including door panels done really well.
Onya fellas, the ute is getting a bit of love lately, cheers boys
Great video, lot's of good advice
Cheers VacuBlaster!! i'm glad!!
Love these types of videos. Great work lads

They make a stick foam that works really well to kill outside noise. This stuff is superior for sound dampening vibrations etc.
Lookin clean fellas

Did you do bonett and engine bay etc? Paint under chassis? What about 10” bullet prior glass and ear muffs?
Another awesome video.
My old gq is rattly and noisy and not great on long trips and this might be the thing to do.
Thanks Bruce!!

The roof is the biggest flat panel in the cab
Doing my rattle box hilux doing to the doors roof and floor up to the firewall made the biggest difference for noise but the biggest difference I noticed was music sound quality is better and it’s heaps cooler on a hot day inside now
oh awesome! yeah heard about it being a good insulator! stops the heat coming from the trans tunnel!
Great video and good song too
Thanks D2k!
Did your patrol just use one box of car builders sound deadener or more?
If it wasn’t such a loud vehicle it would make a ton of difference at all times haha.
Technically, there is always an improvement.
Is the improvement justified by the money spent and significant weight increase ?
The more you reduce Noise A, the more you’ll make Noise B be more prominent.
On such an old clunker, it’ll still be a very noisy and clunky vehicle
I don’t the old GQ will worry bout the weight and anything is better than nothin I’d say
Pulling the dash and doing the firewall makes a big difference but it’s a big job
You can clearly hear the clucking sounds are (more) gone when they where pulling up a hill
How much did the whole kit cost and where did you get it from?
Plus you fellas did not do the firewall so you have no change between the engine and cab. I did a job of that first layer in my Ute plus the roof but not firewall. So good.

Do the roof. It is literally a drum.
anyone put the sound deadener (butyl layer only) on the underside of the hood (bonnet)?
Sound deadener does not do squat.
G'day Aussie Arvos in that package is their enough to sound proof a gq wagon?
Frothing the vids🤙🏽
Stubbie holder on gear knob for aesthetics?
Essential accessory 😉🍻

Better get some for my fj45
Good info but what was the actual cost for the GQ or was it a freebie from the supplier
i wanna do that to my future 60 series Landcruiser
got the full kit in my 60 and it makes a massive difference! 12HT running a straight through 3'' stainless system
No sound deadening for the roof headliner?
How many boxes did u actually use of the deadener
Where can I buy that sound defender do you have link ???
Just curious, what is your fuel consumption on that 4.2 diesel?
Put some on the roof/ceiling...
Video idea - "Budget Subwoofer install" I hope you can give this one a crack
how much
We used Pack 3 which is $435! Not too bad considering we could basically do the whole cab!
Car paint next ?

How many square metres did you use?
Need to do the firewall to help with engine noise

This stuff works well but it’s pretty expensive.
Every 3dB is double the sound, so 3-6dB is a huge reduction in noise
