The Importance of Sound Deadening

Sound deadening is not just about reducing noise; it's about enhancing your overall driving experience and protecting your vehicle. Let's explore why investing in sound deadening is a smart choice.

Enhancing Your Driving Experience

Driving should be a pleasurable experience, free from the constant bombardment of unwanted noise.

Enjoy Peace and Quiet: Sound deadening products help create a tranquil cabin environment, allowing you to enjoy your music, conversations, or simply the silence. This can significantly reduce stress and fatigue, making your drives more enjoyable and relaxing.

Improve Audio Quality: By reducing external noise, sound deadening enhances the quality of your car’s audio system. With a quieter background, you can fully appreciate the nuances of your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks.

Protecting Your Vehicle's Interior

Sound deadening not only improves the acoustic environment but also protects your vehicle.

Prevent Vibrations and Rattles: Unwanted vibrations and rattles can cause wear and tear on your vehicle’s interior components. Sound deadening materials help stabilize these parts, extending their lifespan and maintaining the integrity of your vehicle.

Thermal Insulation: Many sound deadening products also provide thermal insulation, helping to regulate the temperature inside your car. This can make your vehicle more comfortable in extreme weather conditions and improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems.

The Science Behind Sound Deadening

Understanding the principles behind sound deadening can help you make an informed decision about the best products for your vehicle. SoundSkins combines cutting-edge technology and materials to deliver superior soundproofing.

How Sound Deadening Works

Sound deadening materials work by absorbing, blocking, and damping sound waves, reducing noise levels inside your vehicle.

Absorption: Materials like foam and fibers absorb sound waves, preventing them from bouncing around inside the vehicle and causing echoes.

Blocking: Dense materials, such as rubber and mass-loaded vinyl, block sound waves from entering or exiting the vehicle. This is particularly effective for reducing road and engine noise.

Damping: Damping materials reduce vibrations that can cause noise. By converting vibrational energy into heat, these materials minimize rattles and other noise sources.

The Role of Materials in Sound Deadening

The effectiveness of sound deadening products largely depends on the materials used.

High-Density Materials: SoundSkins products use high-density materials to provide maximum sound blocking and absorption. These materials are designed to be both effective and lightweight, ensuring they don’t add unnecessary weight to your vehicle.

Multi-Layer Construction: Many SoundSkins products feature multi-layer construction, combining different materials to address various types of noise. For example, a layer of foam may be combined with a layer of rubber to both absorb and block sound.

Tips for Maximizing Your Sound Deadening Investment

To get the most out of your sound deadening products, it’s important to follow best practices for installation and maintenance. Here are some tips to help you maximize the benefits of your SoundSkins products.

Proper Installation Techniques

The effectiveness of sound deadening materials greatly depends on how well they are installed. Here’s how to ensure a successful installation:

Clean the Surface: Before applying any sound deadening material, make sure the surface is clean and free of dust, grease, and debris. This ensures the adhesive bonds properly and the material stays in place.

Use the Right Tools: Utilize tools such as rollers and heat guns to apply the materials evenly and securely. A roller helps to press the material into place, eliminating air bubbles and ensuring a firm bond.

Cover Key Areas: Focus on areas that contribute most to noise, such as doors, floors, roofs, and wheel wells. Applying sound deadening materials to these areas will provide the most significant noise reduction.

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the effectiveness of your sound deadening materials, regular maintenance and care are essential.

Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the condition of your sound deadening materials to ensure they haven’t shifted or degraded. This is particularly important if you frequently drive in harsh conditions.

Clean Gently: When cleaning your vehicle, use gentle cleaning methods that won’t disturb the sound deadening materials. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could weaken the adhesive or damage the materials.

Reapply as Needed: Over time, some sound deadening materials may need to be reapplied, especially in high-wear areas. Keep an eye on these spots and reapply as necessary to maintain optimal performance.

Step 1

To install the material you need be working on the metal surface of the car, remove upholstery. If you have never done this, we suggest searching it up on YouTube. Once the upholstery is removed, make sure there is no debris, waxy oils or rust by cleaning the surface with denatured alcohol.

Step 2

Once surface is clean and ready to go, cut the sound deadening material to the right size so it fits desired area. For small surfaces, we recommend that you measure the dimensions and then cut to fit.

Step 3

With the surface area clean and pieces cut to desired dimensions, peel off the paper and apply material to surface area starting from the top to bottom using the car door holes to help with alignment. We recommend using a hand roller to ensure that there are no air pockets and ensure the adhesiveness.

Sound Deadener Install FAQ: Tips & Tricks

What tools will I need to for a sound deadening project?  
  • Rag & Denatured Alcohol: Apply the alcohol to the rag and use to clean the metal surface areas you will be applying the material to.
  • Gloves: Our product is pretty safe to install without gloves but if you have never installed a sound deadener mat, we recommend using gloves.
  • Hand roller: We highly recommend using a small roller to reach the tighter surface areas of your vehicle. You can find these on Amazon or most online retail shops. There are wooden, rubber and metal rollers, we recommend wooden or rubber, try and stay away from metal as they can tear the material.
  • Utility Knife: The utility blade is to cut the material. Make sure to cut the material on top of a pice of cardboard so that your blade stays sharper longer, if it's a big job, have some extra blades around.
How do you apply sound deadener material? 

We sell our roll on sound deadener product in 2 different formats: custom cut to fit pro kits and an easy to work with rolled up large sheet. If you can measure, cut, peel and stick you can install sound deadener! You can use your hand to apply pressure when positioning the material and then use a roller to make sure it sticks down to metal surface.

After you cut the material and are ready to stick it on, some customers find it easier to peel off a small portion of the release liner and then apply it to metal surface, and then work their way across the sheet, peeling off a small section at a time.

Make sure to always remove the air bubbles with the roller. The second most important thing when it comes to quality of sound deadener is the quality of adhesion to the surface area. You want the material to be stuck down properly to ensure it stays in place.

Where do you apply the sound deadening material?  

The great thing about our sound deadening material is that it can be applied to all types of metal surfaces. All SoundSkins sheets use extremely strong adhesive and they can even be mounted on fiberglass, plastic and even wooden surfaces, but it's not very common to apply to these surfaces since they don't vibrate as much. By covering all metal surfaces such as your doors, roof, trunk and floor you can make a significant difference to unwanted road noise.

Your top priority when applying a car sound deadener is to cover the doors, floor and trunk. If you have extra material then proceed to other metal surfaces you wish to cover for extra sound insulation.

How much surface area should I cover?  

To properly deaden the metal surfaces, we recommend to at least do 25% coverage with our SoundSkins material, this will make a difference in unwanted road noise, but to have a huge impact we recommend covering up 60% of metal surfaces. If you want to get the most used from your sheet, one effective strategy is the CHECKER BOARD APPROACH, using this technique you cut the SoundSkins sheet into small pieces and apply them to the metal surface in a checkered pattern.

It is very common for our customers to do close to 100& coverage to any metal surface because not only are they looking to reduce road noise, they also want to insulate their car from heat or they like the way the material looks on the car's bare metal surface.

How do I make sure the sound deadener sticks well?

SoundSkins products are made with a very strong adhesive and create a extremely strong bond with the metal, it's really hard to NOT make it stick. To ensure the best possible bond, we highly recommend cleaning the metal surface before applying our material and then using a hand roller to firmly attach the SoundSkins deadening mats.

Great adhesion with no air bubbles is the absolute key if you want to get the best performance. Remember that any air pocket with poor adhesion means you will not get the full benefit of the deadener.

How to install car sound deadener: Recap
  1. Remove upholstery and carpet from your vehicle. Proceed to vacuum to get rid of debris and dirt. Clean all greasy spots with denatured alcohol, other solvents or degreasers will leave behind a film that prevents a solid contact surface. Allow metal surface to try.
  2. Cut the SoundSkins sheet to desired size and cut using a sharp utility knife. Use gloves to avoid any cuts.
  3. Peel off the wax paper from the back of material and apply to surface, this can be done by small sections at a time. Use roller to create a strong bond between material and metal surface and to get rid of any air bubbles.
