Low frequency noise is just about impossible to deaden. Mid to high frequencies are fairly easy to stop. Any low frequency noise that can get to the frame will be transmitted throughout the vehicle.

hi there, saw your post on the sound dampening. I just put a cat back exhaust on my 2016 mustang gt.. i do love it, but it's a bit much on the highway. Was wondering did you cut this to the exact shape of the trunk cover panel? and does it lay flat with all of the curvatures in the trunk? Just trying to figure out how I would cut and install this??https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00U...qid=1476229382&sr=8-1&pi=QL40&keywords=vb-4.5
I used VB-4.5 Sound Damping Pad w Vinyl Noise Barrier in the spare tire cavity. This made a huge difference in cabin noise. There is no adhesive to deal with. Just lay it down. I have an Roush axle back and it really muffles the cabin noise. The cabin is at 72dB wide open.
thanks! going to decide between this and dynamat or maybe do both??It is flexible enough to contour to the wheel well. I laid it right on top of the sheet metal. I just had to cut out a piece to fit over the spare tire mount.
Ford did not do us any favors by not applying any sound deading material to the spare tire area. There is some white foam material up along with wheel wells, but not much.I’m hoping to bring this thread back alive, and hear some updates on how everything is working for all of you. I’ve got a new 2018 GT that I love and can’t get enough of, but when I do drive it to work the freeway road noise is louder than I would prefer and hoping to knock it down a few levels. I’m thinking of picking up some MLV and laying it in the spare tire location and elsewhere in the trunk, seeing how that works and if all goes well try to expand to a few other areas in the cabin.
I’m not trying to make it luxury car quiet, but I would like to knock the road noise down a few levels to make the boaring drive to and from work quieter.
I appreciate all of your posts on the forum. I had to get my son to help me with mine. I am short and have some back/hip issues, so leaning into that trunk was not a good thing for me...Thank you Lorne much appreciated! I enjoy doing little mods like that.
