in terms of autofoam, it's to fill hollow cavities.

shout in a cave and you'd understand

Where do you hear the sound in the cave? Only in the cave right?

Autofoam is snake oil.

Do you guys think that soundproofing for the bonnet will increase the chance for the engine to overheat, especially for turbo engines? Myth or truth?

Sound proofing bonnet is one of the silliest thing I've seen. where are you blocking the sound from? Blocking it from passerby?

Yes, the more you put under the bonnet, the more heat, so it is bad for any engine. The heat /sound protector from the manufacturer is sufficient.

Autofoam saved my life pls.

How? Please elaborate

If anyone doing autofoam can show me that foaming the chassis can reduce noise, using decibel meter, I will believe

Realised that no proof has been shared?

Those soundproofing mats do work to a certain extend, but foaming chassis is a joke for sound proofing.

I think you would've survived even without the foam. But you can believe however you want. Most cars have soft fronts for pedestrians and strong, A,B and C pillars acting as roll cages.

Glad that you are ok though

Have a look at the crash test above, no foaming, front is entirely crumpled. But the A pillar is still holding strong.
