SO.
MUCH.
INFORMATION.

 

I just don’t want it to rattle.
Noico 80mil and I’m good right?

 

+100 for noico 80mil. I did 88 square ft for around $120 and then added the noico 150mil foam 36 sq ft for $35 and it makes a hell of a difference in rattles and road noise plus keeps my truck cooler in summer and warmer in winter whenever it gets to the temp wanted. Great product imo. FYI I did 3 layers on my doors 1 layer on my door card panel and 1 layer inside the doors with this and one layer in back and floor

 

A damper like this only changes the resonant frequency of a substrate - like sheet metal panels...ie outer door skins, etc.

Most rattles come from the interaction between surfaces - such as inner door panels, latches, and other mating surfaces. Decoupling them reduces rattles. That's best accomplished with compressible foams like neoprene.

 

Constrained Layer Dampers such as Noico have little to no measurable thermal effect as typically installed.

 

The noico red 150 mil installed seemed to. I don’t know the science of it just going off my experience

 

No doubt that damping improves the driving experience - the whole vehicle feels more 'solid' with CLD alone. It's totally worth it. But dampers don't insulate. Their sole job is to take kinetic energy and turn it into thermal energy...in miniscule amounts...resulting in damped resonant frequencies in resonant surfaces.

 

I just finished the four doors and rear wall. I used NOICO 80mil and topped it off with 150mil red. I used 36 square feet.

I blocked off as close to 100 percent as I could. My goal was keeping the truck cool.

I didn't think much about the rear vent things.

 

here is how I did my doors. I didn’t take any pics of floor or insides of door panels but they’re done too

 

Just starting to you with the idea of doing this. SO MUCH INFO, you guys are great. But time is kinda limited for me so I’ll be doing this in pieces. Don’t really care at all about my speakers/sound system quality, but would like to reduce road noises.

is the general consensus start with the back wall with CLD tiles and then MLV over that? Then further down the road maybe work on the doors/floor.

 

looks good, thanks for the detailed pics. Was hoping to door a door each weekend and eventually all 4 lol

 

Anyone know how thick of foam material can be fit behind the plastic cargo inserts that are located behind the rear seats in a 3rd gen?

 

I used dynamat xtreme and then 1/4” dynaliner on top of that, and everything went back together without issue. You could probably squeeze 1/2” in certain spots, but you can’t go wrong with 1/4” thick foam.

 

I was able to fit 3/8" sheets across the the entire back so like most things the answer seemed to lay somewhere in between. Thank you for the help

 

going to start noico-ing my taco one panel at a time. 80mil cld, 150mil ccf...but then remembered i slid the fluid film's straw into the bottom of the door's drain holes soon after i bought it.

 

Hey man I know it's been a long time but did you order one if those and you were able to do the doors and the back panel behind the rear seats below the back window?
