<VV> Sound deadening (Combined Posts)

[Brown, David]

I have been following this thread with interest as I will do some type
of sound proofing on the 65 sedan I am fixing up for my wife.  I'm not
sure if this subject is 'tapped out' yet, but I assembled all of the
pertinent posts so far in an easy to print format (for my tech files &
perusal at my leisure).  I tried to get everyone's name & email in case
someone wants to ask another a question.  A lot of great comments/info
with A LOT of experience.  This is why I LOVE this forum!

I used a product called B-Quiet Ultimate.  You can read more about my
install at http://www.wittelaw.com/personal/turbo/26.htm; The website
for the company is  http://www.b-quiet.com/index.html

They have charts on their website comparing their products to Dynamat.
Their pricing is very reasonable for products of this type.  I thought
the product was high quality, and applied easily.  It's difficult to
gauge how well the product works because I didn't have a ton of driving
experience in this car prior to the install, but I can say the
convertible seems quiet and solid.

Hi, Brian.
I have not used that particular kit, but I do use sound deadening
material.  I've used Dynamat in the past, but more recently found Brown
Bread (yup, that's the name- made by B-Quiet). It's similar to Dynamat,
but cheaper.  It's a self-adhesive deadening compound bonded to an
aluminum foil face. Cut it to fit with scissors and press in place.
(Well, for those of us in northern climes doing this in the dead of
winter....a heat gun helps it stick).  Brown bread is available from:
http://www.b-quiet.com/ebay-brownbread.html or call them at
877-727-8438.  Last time I ordered (about 1 1/2 years ago) it came in a
70sq ft roll, with an installation roller for $134.99 + $25 for shipping
via UPS Ground (it's heavy stuff). One roll did my LM sedan floor, front
bulkhead, rear bulkhead and 4 doors plus the rear bulkhead and 1/2 the
floor in my LM Stinger Clone, now in process. A 50 sq ft roll ($104.99 +
$20 UPS) will probably do one complete car interior (except for the
roof).  More than worth the cost and effort in reducing interior sound.
Plus the doors now close with a satisfying "thunk".

Hi,
I was reading about sound deadening 912s on the 912 Registry Help Board.
One of the contributors suggested a product called "QuietCar." This
product is a brush-on sound deadener that is suppose to absorb sound
better than Dynomat. I have not tried it, but I am going to use it on my
62 sedan. If you are interested the site is: http://www.quietcoat.com/

Both myself and Russell Davis tried the Quiet Car sound proofing,
however it did not provide improvement for either of us.  I sprayed it
inside the cavity behind the rear door panels of a LM coupe to include
the inside of the outer fender and the tops of the fender wheels, and
also inside the frame rails around the engine compartment.  I took noise
readings before and after application and there was no improvement.
Russell brushed it inside the engine compartment of a LM coupe.  He did
not take noise readings but said he could not tell a difference.

This material might provide improvement if used in some other area,
however based on my experience I would not recommend it.

http://www.quietride.com/is the website for Quiet Ride Solutions
featuring Accoustishield. They make kits for many cars and now Corvairs.
I installed a kit in my '64 Monza Convertible and my '57 Belair wagon.
Their product reduces noise and heat and is cut to fit.

Subject: <VV> Sound deadening

I am genetically constrained from spending $150 to do something that I
can do for $10. For the price of one of these kits, one could probably
soundproof every Car at the National, with the "redneck sound suppressor
system."
I Use 30# roofing felt and plastic roofing cement. I cut the roofing
felt to size and shape, coat one side with plastic roofing cement, and
press in place. Usually, two layers are enough, and three are the
'DeLuxe" 
treatment. I have used this on many cars, on the floors, in the doors
and side panels, and elsewhere. It even looks a lot like what the
factory did to the cars to soundproof them.
This simple system probably works so well not just because the material
impedes sound transmission, but even more importantly, because it
dampens the vibrations of the panels.
I am not recommending that anyone else do this, just reporting on my
experience.
