[/qb][/QUOTE]no, this stuff stops rattles and resonance. For sound absorption you need to use something like a foam pad. For that, I use the rolls of green flooring sound absorbing rolls sold at home depot, it's meant to be installed between laminent floor and concrete foundations to absorb sound. Works great in cars. Put the peel `n seal stuff down first, then lay the padding on top of that, then your carpet. http://www.homedepot.com/Flooring-Laminate-Flooring-Laminate-Tools-Accessories/h_d1/N-5yc1vZba6w/R-100093264/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 [/qb][/QUOTE]thanks :patriot: At 2mm thickness, do you think doubling or tripling the layers is a good idea? [/qb][/QUOTE]each roll comes with so much I don't think it would hurt! That link isn't the exact stuff I used but it's the same idea. Just check out the laminent floor aisle and look for the 3-in-1 style underlayment foam, moisture/sound/heat blocking or something like that. I think what I used was closer to 4mm thick and a solid pine tree green, not transparent like that stuff. it made a really big difference on the interior of my `97 (only car I've done that to so far). One trick I do is take all the interior panels off and wrap the holes the pins and screws for everything go into with the peel `n seal, gets rid of all the rattles. [/qb][/QUOTE]I am glad I found this thread. The interior rattles and squeeks drive me up the wall in my '96 Cobra (and that car is better than some of the foxes I've owned in the past lol). I find that the most problematic areas are the door panels, center console, and rear speaker panels behind the seat. I've literally considered selling the car on the spot and buying German since I am so sensitive to it lol. The door panel squeeking against the door itself is by far the most annoying. Kevin, when you do the door panels with the peel n seal, do you cover the door itself or the inner panel? I wish I could just pay someone experienced to do the whole interior! [/qb][/QUOTE]I did the metal part of the door. The only noises on the inside of my `97 now come from the center armrest if I put weight on it creaking, or the plastic door pull handles on the door panels when you pull on them to shut the door. Somebody told me about a trick to put velcro strips on them to the door panels there, but I either used velcro that was too thin or not enough because they still make a little bit of noise. I absolutely hate rattles, the worst part on my `97 before I tore it apart was the rear seat headrest panel, it squeaked and rattled constantly on the freeway. Now it's quiet other than a bit of the exhaust and a tiny bit of gear whine coming up through the MGW shifter. [/QB][/QUOTE]
