Adding sound deadening. Soon.

What will you use for the wheel wells? I also want to see picks once completed.

I’ve posted pics of rear area. Same material when I do the front. May add a little jute padding under carpet at the same time. Letting a little air out of tires helps a little too. Had 40psi from factory.

This is awesome. Do you have a link to the product that you used and what thickness you got? I see both 50mil and 80mil options. Also how much did you end up needing for under and behind the rear seat?

Will have to look that up later. It was the thinner product. 1 box did nearly 2 layers.

I reached out to my local Ziebart and got a quote for adding a sound deadener undercoat to the truck. They told me $149, which seems very reasonable to me to limit road noise and get some added rust protection as well.

Don't do it. Your truck will rust more. YouTube underbody sound deadening
and rust proofing. It's bad

Interesting, thanks for the heads up.

Ya know.... I've behind thinking I could tear apart a pair of noise cancelling headphones and run it into the stereo. My Sony headphones get rid of that noise very effectively.

Won't work like you think. Active cancellation is very good when you want to do it at a point location (like inside your ears). Trying to do it in a larger volume is near impossible because of interference from reflections and such. NASA tried it for aircraft cabin noise, but learned that it wasn't very effective in a global sense. They could make it quiet for you, but the guy two rows over had it worse than before.

I didn’t read each post - sorry - but wouldn’t old fashioned under coating help with sounds?

That's really cool to see results already! I can't wait to start doing this but at the same time a little afraid of taking apart a new vehicle

Better new when the plastic is still flexible.

The materials and techniques have advanced quite a bit since then. You've got a following already, many of us without our own Mavericks yet.

What techniques are there for identifying where noise is coming from? Maybe having someone else drive while you move your head around. Maybe using your spectrum analyzer while taking note of different locations. SPL reduces by the square of the distance, though it's a logarithmic scale. Your ears may do it better than your meter.

Having the same interest, there seems to be a few car audio installers who focus on the wheel wells - adding aluminum backe butyl tape to the interior side of the fender liners, the doors being another big target - the outer skin and inside of the trim.

Use a DIY stethoscope. A 6ish foot length of 3/8 tubing in one ear and earplug in the other. Point it around to "sniff out" the noise. Someone else would have to drive.

Light blue is results after sound deadening. Can’t explain the green at left. Should be dark blue. It’s just both pictures overlayed and color changed.

Where you able to get a final reading at the end and/or rough determination of what area made the most difference?

Thanks for all your detailed steps on sound deadening. I'm slowly doing the same on my hybrid.

when running some rear dashcam wires, I went ahead and pulled up the passenger side rear seat bin, but I noticed the back was held down by what appears to be a hex nut and bold. I couldn't scoot the trim backwards to get it to slip off. Curious if your Ecoboost had a similar set up for the rear part of the underbind trim?

Also, any luck sound deadening the front wheel wells or floor? I think that will be the biggest bang for the buck for me. Thanks again!

Don’t recall. And no longer have it. Have another on order. I didn’t do front. I felt most sound came from rear. But it can’t hurt to do the entire vehicle.

Did you get your new one? And did you sound deaden that one as well?

Did not do the 2024. Went to my daughter. It’s quiet enough.
