soundproof matting

What is available? Is there a standard thickness? I would like to sheild my interior from some of the road noise that I experience, but I dont really want to distort the carpeting. The vehicle in question is a bronco. What do others out there run? Any responses appreciated.

Hey, in my opinion..its basically just the material not the thickness, ive heard a cheap solution to the problem is weather stripping, at hardware stores..and theres a bunch of aftermarket soudn dedaning mats that work really well, just as good as "fat mat" and other "betteR" brands

Dynamat does a good job. There was talk before regarding "Grace Ice & Water Shield", a roofing material. I've used the Grace Ice & water shield on a roof project, and I can tell you that it has a pretty strong petroleum smell when your applying it on a warm day. I'm not sure if that smell from it will go away though? I would also check with the mfg (Grace) before I used it or any other material not intended for use in an enclosed environment. Since this product was not made for this use, it may put off toxic vapors. If it safe to use , you will save many $$$ over Dynamat.

Dynamat is a high quality product. You may also want to check out www.b-quiet.com. I received a sample from them and it is good stuff. I am considering doing my truck with it. I used Dynamat regular on my previous vehicle's doors ('87 T-Bird) and it worked great. It is not soundproof, but it makes it quieter.

I used brown bread from b-quiet. Got the $135 dollar roll. Almost enough to do my entire interior. Sounds great, really noticed a difference. Not quite as good as dynamat but hell...Just get two rolls of the stuff and put down an extra layer....It'd be cheaper and, sound better. The stuff is pretty thin, too.

Hi. Look in my post right before his.

mtech2, have you used Dynamat before? If so, which model? I have only used regular. How easily did the Brown Bread go on?

Thank you.
