Sound proofing

[Trunkster]

Hi guys, There are many sound proof products on the market. Do they work? is there a make or particular sort that is better or is there one to stay away from?. Is it best through out the van or only over the engine. Does it help reduce road noise????? Just wondered as it is rather load in there!!!

What you can hear is the road noise from a two tonne van and the gentle fluff of wind as it travels smoothly over your big tin box

you can mute it but it never gets to modern standards... a pointless exercise for me

i know a goon sound deadening is dynomat a lot of car stereo fitters use this but if your on a budget and want a good deadening material the best thing to use is roofing felt the thick sort that you warm up and stick on

I think you mean flash banding!!!!!!

[leebo]

well roofing felt is no where near as good as flash banding for sound deadening, plus felt stinks when it gets hot, which some times happens in the uk!

[leebo]

thats true it does stink
by flash banding do you mean the stuff that was made to replace lead flashing?

I have used carpet underlay for this stuck on with spray on contact adhesive and it works really well
