For completely enclosed environments like a car, you want interleaved layers of high/low/high density material. The density changes cause sound to reflect back to the direction it came from, so it never reaches the passenger cabin. In non-enclosed situations like in this video, reflecting sound back doesn't really help since the sound can just travel through the air, around the object, to your ears. So your priority will be dampening vibrations from occurring in the first place.

Didn't work as good, but did quiet the car down some (less thin metal sound from the door, floor and roof panels), and was a good insulation for the sun beating down on the roof. I had an all black interior, too, so it needed it, lol.

Duck Tape is actually the classic brand name, like Coke and Kleenex. They're still around, but not as big as 3M. "Duct tape" is more of a common misnomer because laypeople thought it made more sense. The stuff is garbage for anything permanent (while great for quick fixes as long as it's not made poorly,) and real HVAC tape for patching duct work looks...exactly like the product in this video.

This is a version of a product called Dynamat. We’ve been using it for years in high end car stereo installations on all of a car’s body panels and interior panels. The material is sonically beneficial in a number of ways. The material is essentially soft flexible lead sandwiched between a layer of industrial adhesive and thin aluminum flashing. It blocks outside ambient noise when the vehicle is stationary and outside ambient and road noise when the vehicle is in motion. It also works as a sonic decoupler eliminating vibration produced by the speaker from transferring to the outside body panels effectively keeping them from turning into a speakers. In the application of subwoofer installations in trunks, it adds weight to the trunk lid keeping it from rattling on the outside and keep the bass spl level higher on the inside allowing the subwoofers to run more efficiently with less power. Ultimately its job is to keep sound in, keep sound out, decouple and eliminate vibration.🎉

This is a way to make noise-making objects not emit as much sound as they normally do. For environments like a car, you want to block external noise (stuff you can't make quieter) from entering the passenger cabin. That's accomplished by alternating layers of high/low/high density materials. The density changes cause sound to reflect back in the direction it came from.

Even though it's obvious it works, I've never understood its value in car audio installations. Is it more for reducing road noise than for modifying the audio in any way? A tape or nat format seems to me like it would dampen only higher frequency resonance, which I typically don't notice in any vehicle, either from road noise or audio playback. Usually a quite thick foam rubber mat similar to carpet underlay is good for taming the interior down to lower frequencies.

This would be very beneficial for Drum Kit cymbals for example. Now if you must reduce the sound of a Drum Kit you basically have only two options. Either you dampen the Drums which affects the sound of the drum, or you can use some Cymbal- or Drum Shields but that will change the visual appearance of the set and hide the drummer more.
