Reduce road noise: Floor or Doors? - Toyota Yaris Forums

coderbyday · 02-18-2012, 01:43 PM

I've just done a partial deadening job based on derickveliz2's thread. I did the front doors and front footwells/arches.

In order of effectiveness:

Most effective - Drivers footwell & arch. There's missing factory deadening on this side and the difference is incredibly dramatic!
Next effective - Passenger footwell & arch. More factory deadening but nearly as effective.
Least effective - Doors, still a good improvement but nowhere near as good as the driver footwell.

I've used silent coat tiles (2mm butyl + aluminium top layer) covering 25% of the panels and 6mm (1/8th inch) closed cell foam covering the entire panel/floor at the front. if i used MLV and proper CLD tiles i'm sure i'd see even more - but I am less of a perfectionist :)
