Hi All,
I just built 7 sound proof teaching studios for my mates music shop..he got this new stuff called WAVEBAR.
It looks like lino and can be cut the same..comes in 8kg per m2 or 4 kg m2. It absorbs the sound, not reflects it. The rooms we built are awesome
thanks to one layer of this stuff inbetween each room. I have some for my car..you can cut it and use it in the floor or on the fire wall and it is
only about 5mm thick.
Matt

Just wondering...

That site looks great, i emailed them about some prices.
Also, which areas in a 75 Kombi would be the 'key' areas to sound deaden in order to reduce both road and engine noise? Front doors, floor, tire
wells - what about around the engine bay?

The firewall and floor above the engine will benefit from some insulation, which will help prevent engine noise finding its way into the vehicle.
Even with the engine noise taken care of, any large flat panels will add noise if not dampened in some way. A lot of the noise found in kombis is not
engine noise anyway, just vibration caused by road surfaces, wind, etc. Try driving your kombi fully packed up for camping, and you will notice how
much 'other' noise is around; you just usually can't hear it above the engine noise. The roof, inside side panels and doors, and even the floor
would benefit from some sort of damping material. The bituminous stuff is reputed to be the best, but as others have said, it is heavy. Remember that
the panels do not necessarily need to be completely covered with dampening material; a section in the middle will still dampen a lot of the vibration.
(Have a look inside many factory-finished vehicles)

How much did you get for how much $?
Did you you use a hairdryer to mold it or is it adhesive backed?

it cost me $230 for 5 sheets, which is the boot pack. its adhesive and you just peel and stick, roll for a better fit. each sheet is about 3-5mm
thick.
i think it was 24mm of rain that year.

Be warned though that the kombi in that article is supposed to be a real rust bucket now. Make sure that you treat any rust b4 covering an area with
soundproofing. Also, don't use anything that can hold moisture - like insulation batts.
What I have been doing is coating areas with fish oil, rustproof primer then bitumenous paint. Takes a while but it shouldn't rust in a hurry! So far
only the front doors and the front passenger's wheel arch have been finished and it is noticeably quieter at 100 kmh.

I was thinking that there wasn't that much prep done when he mentions filling all the door cavities with sound deadening foam and other stuff like
that...

Any more updates on this Barls?
I've just bought myself a pack of 24 Bostik sound deadening sheets - i'll put them in my van sometime but i doubt they are flexible enough to place
near the engine, possibly just in the doors etc on the flatter surfaces
