2008 Yaris sedan ‘S’ sound deadening project.

Hey Herb,

Maybe it's a guitar effect?

Or the meter it's bad?

It's true... you can hear/feel the difference, but it could be just another level/frequency of resonance inside the car that resonates different from the outside noise.



You have taken care of some of the resonance of the sheet metal panels of your car by applying Mat and Ensolite, now it's like a big speaker to the inside, what you may need now it's a "Noise Barrier" AKA Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV).

Send me that meter and I'll give it a try in my car.

Thanks man. I decided I'm not going to waste a lot of thought processes on it. I'm VERY HAPPY with everything, so to heck with the reading.

We need to meet up again soon. I've never heard your system, it would be fun to do a comparison.

I'm thinking your "Noise Barrier" suggestion is probably hitting the nail on head along with another level/frequency inside the car. Weird. Again, I'm not going to worry about it! If you really want to try the meter on your project, send me a PM with your mailing address info (home or work) and I'll send it to you. Just send it back when you're done.
