TheMonolith2001 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 So I still haven't gotten around to fixing the noise of the plastic vibrating against the metal on my hatch because it really only happens at very loud volumes. I know the right way to do it but has anyone tried simply stuffing it full of old t-shirts or something to separate the plastic and metal? I have a whole garbage bag full of old shirts and stuff I was going to donate to goodwill but I figured it might be worth a shot because it is free? There is no window that goes up and down or anything so I could fill the entire thing if i wanted to and not just as a layer to separate the two. I am having trouble finding good pictures of what I am talking about, but there are some in these threads: http://thespeedfreaks.net/showthread.php?6561-Cheap-Sound-Deadening http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/1991-jeep-cherokee-build-2001-a-49861/index4/ So far I am leaning towards just a couple shirts in between the metal and plastic because this is probably going to absorb sound rather than reflect it right? Or maybe the plastic being there is enough if it becomes stiff under the extra pressure of the stuffing? It wouldn't be that hard to undo I guess if it sucked.

Pioneerchuck Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Technically anything to keep it from rattling would work but doing right the first time saves time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aculous Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 So heres an idea. Look into JUTE padding. Its what they use for thermal insulation, its a fiberous material but not ridiculous expensive and will deal with a lot of issues. So saw a guy did a install with GT Liquid-damp (GTMat is the company) and then use JUTE padding which worked pretty, well it looked like it did from the pics. (Dude was a texas SQ champ with a red dodge) You are not adding mass as with using MLV or some other sound deadner but its a start and you can put a couple layers of liquidamp on it to get a little more mass. a gallon of GT Liquid-damp is $50 and JUTE padding is anywhere from 40-60$ for 24 sq ft is the standard it looks like. OR what I would recomend is look at Raamaudio. For $160 you get butyl sound deadening and some closed cell foam. You would be spending a little more but its worth it since almost all of these are REALLY hard to remove. Think about a job that takes anywhere from 4-6 hours for just butyl application and then quadruple it (most likely) for having to take it off. Its a pain to get any of these products off. And the asphalt products are worse...in almost every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be better off getting some real sound deadening material for the same price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 do you want sound deadening or something to stop rattles. Kinda talking about 2 different things here.

Look inside a cadillac or any car other car, they typically use jute as a cheap alternative for sound and heat insulation. Its just cheaper then closed cell foam or butyl which is what a lot of people use. Some even use MLV which is not typical but it works. mass to lower resonant freq. and then something to break up sound waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
