Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[talnlnky]

looks good, I hope you get enough dampening from the amount of mat you are using.

Thanks,

I only need to cover 25% at the center of flat panels to control resonance. A few CLD Tiles and the Extruded Butyl "Rope" behind the intrusion bars will take care of vibration damping, the Vinyl and the Foam will take care of the noise.

From...
www.sounddeadenershowdown.com

"After taming panel resonance with CLD Tiles, add a layer of Closed Cell Foam and a layer of Mass Loaded Vinyl Barrier to block sound. Keeps noise out and your music in."

yeah, i've read his site... it's been around a very long time. There is a difference between taming a panel, and making that panel dead. Though,... you will probably find that the most rattle in your door isn't the panel anyways, it'll be something stupid like the cable for the door handle, or the locks, or a plastic housing of some sort.

he he...that's when you deaden the cables too!

Don't half-ass it. If you're going to do it, go all the way.

lucky guy... I don't know if i'll ever get around to taking on the doors and actually installing my equipment... Tho, things are looking good on the job hunt. If I make it past the background check & a psych eval i'll have an offer for a PO position with the Sheriffs Office. I'd literally see about a 30% increase in pay, which would really help me pay off my credit card, and car loan (which are my top two financial priorities right now)... I'm soo glad my credit card isn't 20% or higher like most people... mine is only 13.9%.

Put the seat-belts back in place, trim panels, rear seat and every thing is tight and snug very tight , the 1/4 Foam helps to keep the panels quiet and hopefully rattle free.

Next... the Extruded Butyl "Rope" in the rear right door...

"talnlnky" I hope your situation gets better. At work we use to be 33 employees, now we are down to 5, and still holding on. There is no work out there, we are architects with 40 active projects every month; now we are working in only 1 project.

Be positive!

I added some of this Rope! to the door and WOW!!! works really good, now we are ready for the Vinyl and Foam.


Here are some shots...

I got one more sample for the Dash Mat. (Black Ltd.)

My conclusion is that I'm going to get the Black Original Mat, Why?... because there is no Glare compare to the other Limited version. The fist photo was taken with a UV filter and it's easy to see the glare that comes from the Ltd. It feels really good in your hands but I think the Classic / Original Mat will work better. Besides a 2 year warranty against a life time warranty of the Original Mat.

... Also when I put my sun glasses the classic Mat looks much better.

I'm done with the rear right door! The plan I made was a perfect fit. I'll share photos later during the day.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 2 A.M. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The first picture shows my template and the trim panel.

2nd picture shows door with vapor barrier ready to mount the Vinyl.

3rd picture Vinyl on door (I used 2 Industrial Strength Velcros to hold it in place and play around for adjustments).

4th picture shows a layer of 1/8 Foam on top of the Vinyl (no way I could get 1/4 Foam in there everything is so tight, I also added some little pieces of 1/8 Foam under the Vinyl against the wires, just in case)

And the last photo shows the trim panel and you see those pieces of foam that come in the panel? I had to shave them, I actually shave them even more after a few adjustments.

The trim panel snapped really nice, the difference is like Black and White, I wish there was a way for me to show you guys how good it is.

I bet my wife is going to ask me to do the same to her car! Jeje.

Here is a video clip I made with a regular digital camera testing the rear doors, The one on the right side of the car is the one I just finished treating, this is an "open close" test follow by a "knock knock" test.

Also 2 Audio Graphics of the same video. The first one shows "open and close" test the second one it's the "knock knock" test.


The difference is a lot more in real person. But on the effort to share my experience this is what I can post. I hope it helps other Yaris enthusiasts.

On the other way I feel that I'm working too much on this, because after all these efforts making my car "less loud" I'm going to want to be "Louder" with music. lol

There it is! We have documented proof that deadening works. We all know it does...but now there's a graphical representation.

[swidd]

Does it have a scale so you can say "I lowered my door slamming sound 6 decibel"?

[derickveliz2]

I'll dig in on Monday, the software its a free trial I got randomly on line.

Interesting...
