I'm mostly done with a pretty extensive noise attenuation project. This thread was very helpful. I used four 36 square foot boxes of Noico 80 mil material in all 5 doors, the roof and under the hood. I also used two pieces (40"X80") of
LINGDA 21.53 SqFT 10mm Heat Shield Thermal Sound Insulation Proofing Deadener Mat Car Noise Control Acoustic Dampening Moistureproof Waterproof material for all 5 doors and under the hood. I used the Lingda material since its close cell so it won't absorb water. It was easy to work with- the alumimium foil covering is quite durable. Under the hood, I used Tyvek tape to cover the edges of the Lingda insulation to reduce water ingress and to make sure it stays in place. (As you can see in the pic, I ran short on Tyvek tape and need to get another roll.)
I live in a cold, damp climate (coastal Alaska) so condensation and humidity are a big concern, hence the choice of the more expensive Lingda insulation rather than denim. Plus I keep my vehicles for 10-15 years so I want to minimize the chances of corrosion.
I also ordered a box of Noico Red 150 mil but the stuff was so thin its not worth the money IMO. The Lingda is vastly superior! I wish I'd have used the Lingda in the roof.
Since there are lots of good pics in this thread already, I'll just add pics of one side door and the rear door trim pieces covered with the Lingda insulation as well as under the hood.
Here's a link to the Lingda insulation-
Very nice. I've put Noico in the doors, the back spare tire area, and the back wheel wells. I've put denim in the doors and back wheel wells. I live in San Diego, it only rains here a few weeks of the year and there's isn't any snow.
I haven't put any denim in the back lift door. I'm thinking that the LINGDA might be good use there. Also I could put some on the plastic covers of the back wheel wells for added sound absorption.
When I first installed the Noico it helped a lot. But I wanted more noise reduction so I added the denim and it gave me the results I was hoping for.
When you installed the Noico and LINGDA did you do it all at once? I know that the LINGDA is listed as sound deadening material. But I'm wondering how the demin and LINGDA would compare as sound absorption material.
