Maverik Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Juts put Van sides on my 90 and it thrumbs rather loudly, now I've been involved with doing some sound attenuation on ship's engine rooms etc. and what they use is a "viscoelastic" material (glue) and then stick a thin steel plate to it, the added mass changes the resonant frequency of the panel - usually bumps the frequency up, as lower frequency noise is the stuff that carries a long way. Now I was wondering has anyone done anything similar before on Land rovers?? There seems to be a plathora of car sound proofing material, but does any of it actually work?

fozsug Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Used EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) on the floor of the Disco, 10mm thick, you can get thicker, stick it down with a good contact adhesive, i found it works really well and is very hard wearing as well About 20 beer tokens for a 6'x4' sheet.

How well does that hold up to water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozsug Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How well does that hold up to water? Very well, it does not absorb anything, we use in in the horse areas on the lorries both on the walls and the floors, and takes a great amount of abuse from their shoes and their "ablutions", horse urine having a very strong content of Ammonia EVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did remove a similar adehesive matting from the insode of the roof, as it was put on my a 3 year old and water used to get trapped behind it, not a nice smell.

Obviously wasn't put on with a good quality contact adhesive, we use Alpha 19/22 spray able, and then seal round the edges with a good polyurethane sealer, sticks like s**t to a blanket, right PIA to get of if you put it in the wrong position .Never had an issue and been brilliant on the floor of the disco, just get the jet wash in there and blast it clean. You say "water trapped behind it" so as said the EVA didn't absorb it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I find this material very effective! Lara Apparently these can be used as a temporary cure for diarrhoea, but you do need to stand back when removing (possibly with some of the aforementioned horse matting to hand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalot Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Underlay, from the dumpster at General George. Stuck it under the seats etc, under the floor mats. Helped a lot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I threw out the OEM matting because it soaked up water like a sponge, but I wouldn't say no against a bit of extra noise dampening. There's just a rubber mat in there now.

I have it on the boot floor of the disco works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
