3M Sound Deadening Pads ?

[Revsson]

I saw this article online, and thought I would pass it along. I have no
experience with the product. If you read the blogs or comments at the
bottom, you'll see all the Yaris haters, as if you didn't know they existed. :mad:

Dampening noise works exactly like they say it does; you only need to cover something like 25% of a panel before any more is a waste.
Can't comment on the 3M product, but a properly design "Constrained Layer Damper" (CLD) tile will dampen the panel's vibration.
Here's an example:

Problem is that doesn't make much difference because there's tons of sound that still goes through the panel, and the 3M/other CLD material doesn't block much sound at all from passing through itself (IE: it's not the right solution for blocking noise from coming through various panels).
