This is how it begins.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

well... sorta

This is really the beginning of the end. I'm waiting on the dynamat to get here. Probably arrive in about 4 hours or so. Decided to go ahead and strip my baby

After reading some healthy discussions about sound deadening materials I don't think I'll be trying to cover every square inch of sheet metal. I'll put up some more pics after the procedural work is done

Hopefully I'll be done with this kind of work for good after this! I haven't decided if I want to try to do the doors yet or not. The Fatmat I put on the back half of the car is melting in the Texas summer sun

found a couple tiny puddles under the carpet where it ran down the sides. I'm afraid to take off the side panels and check out the extent of the damage. So I might find something else for the doors.

Good luck with the deadening work. Maybe you can answer the question on this post:

as it appears that you removed the split seats.

So 35 sq ft of dynamat and a gallon of sweat later, the sun has set and I have a iPhone camera with no flash. The best pic I could get was some sparkle off the shiny backing of the dynamat from the flashlight. So no after pics... But I took it for a spin and noticed a little less road noise. It wasn't as much as I was hoping for, guess I'll be doing the doors sometime.

nice write up sqcomp! You were extremely more thorough than I was. Good Job!

You may already know this... the dynamat will reduce vibration. if you want to reduce noise you will need to get a Mass Loaded Vinyl barrier down. MLV acts like the big cement barrers that go along the freeway. blocks sound. To the extent that the vibrating metal in your car is producing noise the dynamat will kill that. to block out road noise... that's the job of MLV. you can also use a Closed Cell Foam (CCF) to absorb some of the remaining noise as well.

and that is just the beginning. Sqcomp's thread is fantastic! another site that i have found helpful in my education is http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com

just some thoughts.
