    You perfectly showed with the cymbal, that a small patch on a large surface area is enough to stop waves in a material aka sound. So there is absolutely no need to cover your whole floor with sound deadening material....!

      Hi PJ. You're right. Moderate amounts of deadener make a significant difference. Once the middle of a panel has been covered, the additional deadener covering the panel has diminshing results. Auto manufacturer's will engineer sound proofing to a dollar point, researching the optimal positioning for deadening to just meet consumer expectations. Vibration dampening mats are most effective on single skin metallic surfaces. It is unnecessary to apply deadener to over-lapped metal sections, top hat, chassis sections etc as these areas don't resonant. To engineer a car it takes some skill and technical analysis to pin point key areas, in reality most people will cover everything as they don't mind spending a bit more to ensure they have achieved the desired results. With paying customers, most people want everything covered. Keep in mind that this is one stage in controlling sound in your vehicle. 😎👍

    Very well stated and presented. Most newer vehicles do not have an issue with the single most annoying source of noise in a vehicle, engine noise coming from sheetmetal openings. If you are doing an older vehicle blocking airborne noise can be tricky but the tiniest of holes will tank an otherwise good installation of sound deadening material.

      @@Moriggia Hi. Good and you? I haven't done this. It requires quite some free time that I don't have yet, or at least not desiring to spend it on my Miata. I have a few other things to install it plus repairing a scooter and I have had 0 rush on doing any of that. I work remotely and have been using my car only about one day a week in the past 10 mo. But if I happen to do this, changing the tube from the intake before the separator seems to help with engine noise (not removing the duct for the noise but changing the big section for a different material that is harder and transmits less outside undesired noise), plus sound proofing maybe mainly on top of the back wheels is something I will definitely do, just not sure when. I would like to heat proof the doors and the whole cabin wherever possible but I haven't found what to use that isn't heavy, is durable, not that costly, and is not a disaster/big problem to install as the weather in south FL is definitely one to consider. I installed window tinting in the front windshield, the clearest one one found and a good quality one $150 in Miami, and it made a big difference in temperature and glare (more comfortable driving) and no issues driving at night. Also, no issues with police as it doesn't even appear it has window tint in the windshield. My favorite simple mod so far.

      Its not that easy. You would have to average HUNDREDS of miles over the same roads in the same conditions (traffic/temps/weather/etc) and then do it again with the treatments in place. I know.

      @@chrispurdue5762 I'm not looking to argue, but saying that subjective testing, even short term, is worthless is also misleading... We aren't talking about putting a used vehicle in an anechoic and doing before and after measurements. That would actually be good science. We're talking about subjective testing in the real world. Which is why I said 5-20, which is a pretty big sound range. The difference of 5 dB could mean damaged hearing or just a very uncomfortably loud sound. Remember, sound is measured in a base 10 log unit. Factor of 10 to make it easier.

    Great video explaining the basics!
    My first car that I put sound deadener in was a 99 grandam gt 2 door. 100% coverage. It dropped decibels readings up to 15db. It was a massive improvement to the cabin quality. I spent a lot of money on it too, but it was worth it cause I had the car 10 years. Now the cars I buy don't really need it to be honest. If I were to spend that amount of money again on material the diminished returns wouldn't justify the cost. My Acura TL is already quiet for the type of driving I do now. Plus I spend good money on tires and it shows. Finding a quality tire made a world difference in the cabin.

    I liked the mention of running the MLV/CCF treatment on the rear seat backs since that was the method I plan to do in my car, to save weight and material. However, I was wondering, with a subwoofer in the trunk would this affect the low frequency bass coming into the cabin? I have 1 10" subwoofer in an Integra, aimed at the rear glass, and the removeable rear deck shelf will likely not be treated. If no one has an answer for me, I'll try out both ways in the coming week starting with treating the seat backs and follow up if I remember! My main goal is to kill road noise, something the Integra is plagued by being a cheaper 90's vehicle.

    • @carbuilders1
      @carbuilders1  Před 4 lety +2

      Hi Tom, if you had a sedan with a closed off trunk/boot and you lined the back of the back seat with MLV it would reduce the amount of bass coming through to the cabin. Because you have a hatch, the bass will be reflecting off the back window/hatch and going back to the cabin. Your removable parcel shelf panel will be the largest factor that will be blocking the bass from coming through. If you want to reduce road noise we would recommend applying MLV or Insulayer to your trunk floor, wheel arches and trunk side walls. 👍

It will also make the door act as a speaker enclosure, maximising sound pressure 👍

      Thank you Charlie Bishop. 😎👍 Sadly no. The problem is that you need to add mass to the panel to reduce the vibration. In saying that though, the mass loaded paints can be lighter depending on how thickly you apply it. Keep in mind, if you go too thin it won't have the required mass to deaden the panel.

    They look like great products! Can you get the 1st. (rubber) layer off if you choose to later? Also, is there ever a chance of water getting under it and eventually rusting the metal under it? Just making sure because I would be putting this on my 34 year old Dodge D150 truck with only 26 thousand original miles on it. It's like new so I am extremely careful what I do to it.
    The reason for my concern is the aftermarket rustproofing that is installed the most in the northern part of the country is a "rubberized" coating that is sprayed into the doors and the undercarriage and in time it pulls back enough to let in water and salt and the moisture stays there and just rots everything right through! I have seen frames of new trucks so rotten after less than 10 years old because of this issue that they are totalled!

Unlike the old bitumen deadener, which would crack and allow moisture underneath it butyl doesn't harden and actually becomes tackier in warmer weather. Butyl is used in plumbing applications and you can see in another video we did that it creates a water proof barrier even when in a vertical application. czcams.com/video/tNnmyFO8lcw/video.html Good luck with the Dodge, sound like a nice ride 😎👍

      Hi Travis. If heat is the greater issue, you can use heat shields or peel and stick peel shields to dramatically reduce heat within the car with very little additional weight.

    This is a great video. I am doing a complete rebuild of 1966 International Travelall (like a suburban). I have used Lizard Skin as my primary sound layer of sound deadening and heat protection. In other projects, I have then installed Dynamat Extreme on top of the ceramic sound deadening. This car is so big I was wondering for the roof if I could install strips of a sound deadening instead of completely covering the entire roof ceramic coated with Dynamat or your product if sold in the US. Thanks~P.

    • @carbuilders1
      @carbuilders1  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi Peer. Have you used the Dynamat on Lizard Skin? You will find that it (or any butyl product) doesn't stick well. Lizard Skin is water based acrylic, which is porous like your residential wall paint. If you are going to do the same thing on the roof, adhesive is crucial. Therefore paint over the Lizard Skin with a solvent based automotive acrylic, which will further seal the LS and make the deadener stick far more effectively.
      Yes, you can use strips throughout the roof. Look to cover the middle of the single sheet metal panels.
      The Car Builders brand is looking to come over to the US. We just need to team up with the right retailers over there 👍
      Good luck with your project

    Oh man, now I regret coating most of the front door area in the butyl mat, the roof I have zero regrets for, since I'd rather have too much "just in case", but the doors are unnecessarily heavy now, when just couple of pieces would have probably done the trick, considering the butyl mat is just there to reduce resonance... I picked up on that when doing the trunk, placing small pieces strategically instead of covering the whole area, but at that point most of the car has already been done.

    you probably won't see this but I am planning on reducing the car and street noise in my '95 Miatas cabin. I was wondering how much sound deadening you would recommend, since the car is relatively light and I wanna keep it that way, so the premium 2nd stage material is out of question. Should i just cover the entire floor with the first two materials?

      Hi Doobiez. The mass loaded vinyl range is best. The next thing to work out is how much tolerance or space you have under the factory carpet or vinyl.

    • @carbuilders1
      @carbuilders1  Před 3 lety

      Thank you Florin. The weight really depends on where you are going to cover and what stage 2 product (foam or vinyl weigh significantly different). The Sound Deadener is 6.5kg per box and you need two for the floor, one box for the doors and less than one for the roof. It would need two boxes of Acoustic Liner as underlay, it weighs less than 4kg in total. If you wanted the premium underlay (Mass Noise Liner Lite), you would also need two sheets and they weigh 7kg each. The second stage on the room is Insul layer and this is a foam (1.5kg). Feel free to contact us (03 8777 0960) to chat further about your install 👍

    Does your foam product have a mold inhibitor like some of your competitors? I don't see that listed on the website. It's nice that there's a closed-cell topper, but unless you intend to blanket your entire vehicle and seal every little seam and joint, moisture will still get down into the open-cell underlayment and mold. It may not rot the material like jute, but it will mold. What happens if you have a leak inside the vehicle? What happens if you spill a realistic amount of drink, as in, an entire cup of it (12-24oz)? It's going to soak through your carpet and the first seam in the insulation it it finds it's going to seep down through capillary action. Just because it isn't jute doesn't mean it can't or won't mold. This is still a very real concern for modern insulation.

    • @carbuilders1
      @carbuilders1  Před 5 lety +2

      Thank you Josip. 👍 I think you are right with your percentage. People have different ratios that they use to coverage surfaces. Auto manufacturer's will engineer sound proofing additions to a dollar point, researching the optimal positioning for deadening to just meet consumer expectations. Vibration dampening mats are most effective on single skin metallic surfaces. It is unnecessary to apply deadener to over-lapped metal sections, top hat, chassis sections etc as these areas don't resonant. To engineer a car it takes some skill and technical analysis to pin point key areas, in reality most people will cover everything as they don't mind spending a bit more to ensure they have achieved the desired results. With paying customers, most people want everything covered. Keep in mind that this is one stage in controlling sound in your vehicle. 😎👍
