For anyone wondering why 'its only 6dB quieter'''; decibels are exponential, so that still means in terms of decibel its about 50% quieter than before. Gains :D

You explain your projects very well and the camera work is spot on. A great video, all around!

I think you guys have done really well. The 3dB drop you are getting is half the noise (power) has been eliminated. The other thing to consider is that the "noise" we perceive and bothers us is a smaller part of the spectrum than the sound level meter registers. You want some noise like the rumble of the exhaust, the sound of the engine and the suspension because if it changes, you know there is something to fix long before it becomes a deep pain in the wallet. Perhaps the roof and the firewall someday, but see how you go before you bight off more than you want or need to chew. Again, great job, good choice and a great video too!

This video is great 👍 because you keep things moving you don't spend 5 boring minutes talking about what your going to do This was well done guys . Great job!

Nice work boys. Good to see up and coming content creators actually doing useful stuff and learning (not just creating stuff for the sake of creating stuff).

Cheers lads, was thinking of doing this to my GQ to take out the engine noise. This is the first video I've seen that directly addresses the difference in engine noise, could be a dash out operation for me 😂

Ripper vid boys! I legit did this to my gq wagon two weeks ago, unreal difference and a rewarding weekend project. Onya boys

Just rewatching some videos before you put the soundproofing in and holly shit it’s so good when watching. I just cute out enough so u can still hear the engine but hear u 2 really well

Great video my pal. I've always been a fan of such stuff. Just a tip to you to consider. I found out that the best sound deadener in the world comes from the Junk yard :) I went to my local junk yard and asked for the factory sound proofing + carpet of a Mercedes S class. You buy it and trim it to the size of your car, then boom you have the luxuries of a German car.

A quick hint when cleaning something, don’t dip the cleaning tool back in to dirty liquid already in the bucket, then use the tool again on what you’re cleaning. Have a 2nd bucket of clean liquid to dip the brush or sponge in to before you start cleaning again. 👍🏻🇦🇺

i've just gone through all of this with my troopy and the final piece of the puzzle was getting the old exhaust fixed!! Had some big rust holes in it. Really helped sort out the diesel rumble- much quieter now. The deadening helps heaps with road noise and vibrations!

Great video guys, did the same on my 79. As others have said, definitely do the roof. Cheers.

Great vid - BTW: You know a vid is really good when you learn stuff without even trying ....Bravo 👍👍👍

Doing the roof takes a lot of noise out as well 👍🏻

Awesome channel cannot get enough of you guys

Love these types of videos. Great work lads

Boys, that was a great video. Concise, factual and no faffing around. Well done!

I was going to do that on my gq wagon and did not know what to use after watching this I know exactly what to use 🤙 good work boys keep it up till next time 👍👍👍

You guys are getting much better with these vids. A lot more professional. Well done! I put Dynamat through my GU and it made a big difference, especially on a long day's driving on dirt. Goodonyer :-)

Great video, well explained with great tips for those looking at attempting the same. 😀👍🏼

Another great vid guys!!

Hey fellas. if you do under the gearsticks boot it will make a ridiculous amout of difference in how quiet it is, i sound deadened my whole cab and until i did that tunnel section it wasnt anywhere near as quiet as it is now. i did a layer of sound deadening, 3mm rubber and then the acoustic liner and screwed it back down. 100% reccomend for any patrol alot of sound comes from there keep up the content!

Nice job boys👍

That came up mint

Well done video mate

Bit of a tip I used with my GQ. With removing the old insulation on the vinyl, use a wire drill and methylated spirits and she comes straight off.

Great video, love your work

Good on you buddy... no nonsense lecture..so subscribing your channel.

Perfect Covid project 👍🏽

Great video, lot's of good advice

Another good way to reduce noise is an additional weather strip rubber around the internals of the door. Clark rubber have different profile rubber that will work with the factory door rubbers. Did it years ago on an old Holden.

good job guys

Always good when you get a good stick.

Nice job

Great video. I did my LR Defender. You should do your roof too. Made in my case a difference too.

Great video and good song too

Another great video guys. Been contemplating doing this myself. Looks like a good kit you used. Very thorough explanation of the installation process.

Nice work boys, doing the roof and firewall will make a huge difference again

Been thinking about this for gq ute. So good to see someone else do it. Good results to. Maybe mounting camera and db meter for clearer video. Say Like way to much. Subscribed keep the videos coming.

Onya fellas, the ute is getting a bit of love lately, cheers boys

Lookin clean fellas

doing the roof in my cruiser made the most difference, youll find the stereo sounds better now also. well done lads

Couple of questions.. 1) why did you not just stick the mass noise liner onto the vinyl as the original underlay was. 2)Why did you not use Acoustic liner in place of mass noise liner. Bye the way it was an excellent video present. Thanks

Look good enough to cover up the holes in my floor pan. 🤙 Patrol!

Did you do bonett and engine bay etc? Paint under chassis? What about 10” bullet prior glass and ear muffs?

Another awesome video. My old gq is rattly and noisy and not great on long trips and this might be the thing to do.

It insolates the cab and keep the heat/ac in better. I'm a desert rat, and a cool cab is worth more than I can put into words. GJ guys.

Sea Shepherd reppin 🏴‍☠️🤙

Nice Fellas, time to Raptor coat the Patrol body.

Good info but what was the actual cost for the GQ or was it a freebie from the supplier

How much did the whole kit cost and where did you get it from?

Great job young fella , do the roof , you will be shocked

How good is the finish, I did the full kit to my wagon and love the results. The improvement to the Stero and taking out the rattle of the old 1hz was awesome. It was a real pain in the ass stripping all the plastic trims and roof liner off a 105 though.

get mechanic Dan to show the viewers how to install a catch can and/or diff breather kit

Just curious, what is your fuel consumption on that 4.2 diesel?

They make a stick foam that works really well to kill outside noise. This stuff is superior for sound dampening vibrations etc.

hey i got a old 91 ln106r hilux and i pull out the old Sound Deadening and i put in the new Sound Deadening from trufit and it made difference it done about 545880km atm almost at to 55000km

Top work boys, gave me flashbacks of hanging with my mates doing shit to cars. Learning and having fun.

G'day Aussie Arvos in that package is their enough to sound proof a gq wagon?

Nice work! What's thte temp difference like? Having a single cab in QLD sun makes it feel like the aircon is fighting a losing battle, would you consider doing the roof?

Done well kiddo!!

The Fire Wall Brother

How many boxes did u actually use of the deadener

Curious on what size wheels and tyres you run without having a lift? Absolutely ripper channel and vids 🤙

nice

Where can I buy that sound defender do you have link ???

doing the roof will really help on highways

anyone put the sound deadener (butyl layer only) on the underside of the hood (bonnet)?

Did your patrol just use one box of car builders sound deadener or more?

Measuring noise in db can be very deceptive. For every 3db you either double or halve the sound energy. The results you got are fantastic, no wonder you noticed it right away. Well done.

Could you put this under the wheel well?

Frothing the vids🤙🏽

How many square metres did you use?

No sound deadening for the roof headliner?

Any reduction is good for your ears. Blasted noisy d22. End up driving with earmuffs when i gotta drive further.

Doing my rattle box hilux doing to the doors roof and floor up to the firewall made the biggest difference for noise but the biggest difference I noticed was music sound quality is better and it’s heaps cooler on a hot day inside now

Mint

Better get some for my fj45

9:06 Wait ... you guys are from Australia? So why you don't appear upside-down? 10:35 If you want a silent car you have to do a lot more and add also a 3rd layer with foam-damping stuff. The roof is literally naked under it's covering. The inner side of the doors, the inner side of the dashboard and the firewall are still naked too. After you've done this all you finally can hear what is also rattling or squieking or humming. ʎuɐɯɹǝ⅁ ɯoɹɟ sƃuıʇǝǝɹ⅁

The roof is the biggest flat panel in the cab

If it wasn’t such a loud vehicle it would make a ton of difference at all times haha.

You can clearly hear the clucking sounds are (more) gone when they where pulling up a hill

Stubbie holder on gear knob for aesthetics?

i wanna do that to my future 60 series Landcruiser

Pulling the dash and doing the firewall makes a big difference but it’s a big job

Plus you fellas did not do the firewall so you have no change between the engine and cab. I did a job of that first layer in my Ute plus the roof but not firewall. So good. People love to go for a drive in it now and it's easy to hear each other talk. I can tell your job is ultra sweet from the absence of noise around your speech. But you'll still hear the motor. My BMW has 30mm on the floor from factory.

Technically, there is always an improvement. Is the improvement justified by the money spent and significant weight increase ? The more you reduce Noise A, the more you’ll make Noise B be more prominent. On such an old clunker, it’ll still be a very noisy and clunky vehicle

Car paint next ?

Video idea - "Budget Subwoofer install" I hope you can give this one a crack

how much

Need to do the firewall to help with engine noise

Turbo time

Put some on the roof/ceiling...

Do the roof

first

I’d love to sound dampen my rig but the cab has a crack in it

I know my nan would have liked this in grandad's old gq

😎👍 🇺🇸

Do the roof. It is literally a drum.
