The hood insulation has 2 functions:

1) noise shield (to keep engine noise from entering the cockpit
2) fire retardant - insulation will melt in the event of an engine bay fire thus acting as a blanket to smolder the flames

The insulation seems to be installed on the sedans and RS models in Canada (I have not yet checked my own RS; however, I will confirm later today.
