Bro...

What is d step to do sound proof at fender side?

Fender sound proof can depend on 2 part right? Metal Fender & plastic??
*
Yes bro, Insuflex on plastic and Suppression pads on the metal body part.

But I will add in one more thing, Noise Plug... then your tire noise is almost non-existence.

no need any flexmat or damping mat for fender?
*
My way no need, but if you want also can... but you have to dismantle the whole fender because applying Flex Mat you need to apply pressure for better contact.

Dampening Mat is not suitable for vertical application, even though it is butlyn too.

My way I choose Suppression Pads over Flex Mat for the ease of application, to obtain the same result/effect.

Are we talking about Myvi or other cars?

Mine is Persona....

If apply Suppression Pads, how to stick this pad, is that only stick on certain part within the fender or need to stick full all around fender?
*
Suppression Pads, cut and paste. Stick it to the metal body part of the fender. Paste it at the area where you think it can reduce the vibration more.
Normally I stick it close together, to achieve better results.

If Persona is the same as Myvi, then 1 box is enough. If more then you can try 2 boxes.

how much your labor charge?? if possible, i want my (inside car) very silent.. only can hear the engine and radio sound.. or much better if didn't hear anything outside..

Bro, after soundproof why you still want to hear the engine sound???

Ok, not to get your expectation too high i want my (inside car) very silent.. Sound is a very subjective thing.

or much better if didn't hear anything outside..
You have to hear something from outside when driving la, later Police sound their siren you also cannot hear...later end up in lock up pulak... biggrin.gif Hahahahha... this is soundproof la, not creating a vacuum.

Anyway, if you really and must insist on me doing it... The labor charge is RM500, for full cabin soundproofing. Materials price excluded. I will ask my installer to help me too.

But I will insist on DIY la... tongue.gif

*
Hahaha... I understand bro, but just to set your expectation right. But don't worry, after soundproof you will really feel the effects.

For full cabin, you will need:
Doors:
4 box suppression pads
~8 box Flex Mat
2 roll insulation foam

floors:
3 Dampening Mat
5 Flex Mat
3 Noise Absorption Mat

Pillars:
3 box InsuDamp

Roof:
2 box suppression pad
1 set KIA damping mat

~should be roughly around there la.

Hi Bro,
Sorry for late reply.
You can do this:

Tire Noise, soundproof fenders:
1 x Suppression Pads, 1 x Insuflex, 1 set Noise Plug

For road noise, you can:

1. 3 x Dampening Mat

2. Add on 3 Noise Absorption Mat

3. Add on 5 x Flex Mat or 1 x InsuDamp, to cover high up behind dashboard for engine noise.

I should be free from 4PM ~ 6PM for both days. Just let me know in advance will do. If possible, COD at Giant Bandar Puteri's car park.

I've PM you the pricing. smile.gif

Just let me know if you would like to know more. smile.gif

Hi, there
I would like soundproof for my whole car, my car is iswara a/b. Please quote the best price of ur suggested customization? Thanks

Hi bro, how customize you want it to be? Actually if you can state your preference and budget, then it will be easier for me. Like doors 2 or 3 layers.
I have multiple ways of doing doors, floors and roof. Please share with me more about your preference... Then I can definitely work out something for you. You can roughly get the idea from the listed price on first page.

COD with boss few weeks ago. he is a fast and reliable seller!! biggrin.gif just done some DIY sound proof on front bonnet, door trim and back bonnet. feel alot better n enjoy when driving smile.gif)
*
Hi Ruki, thanks for the feedback. They call me a punctual freak... to certain extend, I do disagree... biggrin.gif

If you want something better, you can add-on a third layer to have better effect. Don't worry, Flex Mat is flexible enough to peel off and stick it back.

P.S: You wake up quite late huh... tongue.gif

thanks smile.gif

It depends on what you want actually... If you ask me, then I will definitely say full cabin, doors, floors, roof and the pillars.

But you may try doors and the floor first. It is definitely good enough to really really enjoy your quiet and comfortable ride...

If your carpet is up, then just cover high up behind the dashboard. Or else you will regret and might be lazy to open up the whole carpet again... smile.gif

Do let me know~~ smile.gif

Thanks for your prompt reply..

I was wondering of doing such way:
1) floor+all the way behind dash (1 lnsudamp + 1 noise absorption mat)
KS : Errr...Not enough le. If you want fully floor covered, then you will need 5 InsuDamp + 3 Noise absorption Mat. My floor combination is always 5 Flex Mat, 3 Dampening Mat and 3 N.A.M.

2) doors (1 Insudamp-inner door, 1 insudamp-outer door, 1 insudamp+10mm insuflex-panel)
KS: 1 box InsuDamp is enough for 1 door 2 layers. So for what you intend to do, you will need ~6 boxes InsuDamp and 2 Insulflex 10mm.

is it ok? what are the diff between insudamp, flex mat, dampening mat? all looks the same xD
KS : Should be ok if that is what you plan to do. Flex Mat and InsuDamp is the same in structure both also have aluminium layer to help in dampening the vibration. But, Flex Mat is thicker and definitely can dampen better than InsuDamp. Dampening Mat is only butlyn without the aluminium layer, but due to the nature of the materials, it is not advisable to be used on vertical application. So the best is always floors only. It is cheap and effective solution for floors.


thanks smile.gif

Sometimes it is hard to imagine how much materials that you need, so I hope I can roughly estimate the correct amount for you... smile.gif

Oh...If that's you plan, then ok also. Can just use the Dampening Mat la, it is cheap and with N.A.M on... You can get a very very good result already biggrin.gif

If budget permits, then just go for Flex Mat lor... Nice nice no run water~~ thumbup.gif

Hey Kheng Siong,

I insulated Doors, bonnet. But still wheel noise prevails. How to arrest that?

Tire? Then you'll have to do the fender soundproofing. Use suppression pads, Insulflex and Noise Plug will do. Sorry ah, now no more installer dy... I'm the only installer left, but a lazy one. tongue.gif

To tackle road noise, then need to do floor soundproofing.

Bro,
It was years back when I own a Saga aeroback. I'm not sure how much materials you need.

Do you have any idea what is your boot floor size? Or can you capture a photo of your boot and let me see?

I guess from there I can roughly quote you how much materials you'll need.

Anyway, details PM-ed to you.

Hi bro,
Hope my explanation will assist you to understand what are the available options for you:

RED = Flex Mat
PINK = Dampening Mat or Flex Mat
YELLOW = Dampening Mat

If you purely want to do the spare tire compartment, then 3 Flex Mat or (1 Flex Mat and 1 Dampening Mat)

If you wish to cover everything I have highlighted, then :
4 Flex Mat
1 Dampening Mat

add on Noise Absorption Mat for your papan. But NAM out of stock, so can only substitute with Insulflex.

P.S: You really need to clean the surface before apply the materials. The surface so dusty~~~ sweat.gif

Just let me know if you would like to know more.

Actually the weight increment is negligible. Control your right foot, and the FC should be ok...

Meet up no problem. Let me have your contact and we can arrange.

may i know how much is the weight of a box of suppression pad(10 pieces)?

The weight should be between 500g~700g. Can't really remember.

I have something thicker. Call Propad. Similar with suppression pads, but the adhesive part is Butyl. And it works much better than Suppression Pads, I mean in terms of dampening effect. It is around 5mm thick.

You can mix between suppression pads and Propads.

how do u sell the propad
*
The Propad will be RM65 a box of 10 pieces.

The material is 5mm overall, with the butyl ard 2mm thick. With this thickness, guess it is more than enough to dampen the vibration of the doors.

My supplier say 1 Propad is able to dampen what 2 suppression pads can. But maybe Psychology effect la... That's why some mixed with suppression pads.
....or worst, 10 Propads a door.

QUOTE(meltan @ May 15 2010, 05:03 AM)
bro, what do you recommend to soundproof 2 wira front doors?
*
hmmm... most of the time, I would suggest do 4 doors straight. So you can have a balance effect.

As a starter, you can do 1 or 2 layers...

For Wira, you can only use 6mm Insulflex/SuperLon.

I would suggest you to mix Suppression Pads and Propad. But consider the size of Wira doors, you will need 5 boxes of the pads.

Take 3 x Propad and 2 x Suppression Pad, then buy 2 rolls of Insulflex 6mm with self-adhesive. You can buy those that do not come with self-adhesive, but be prepared to suffer from the smell for 1 week.

Do 2 layer and feel the difference. smile.gif
