Hood blanket installation - sound reduction results

I installed the 3C3Z-16738-BD hood blanket in my '06 F350 with the 6.0L PSD. I checked the sound levels with a Radio Shack sound level meter with a cold engine, ambient temperature was 72 degrees. The hood blanket reduced the sound by 4 decibels, which is a noticeable improvement!

Here's a photo of the meter sitting on my dashboard before the installation:


Here's a photo of the meter after the hood blanket installation:


Definitely worthwhile!!!
