Why Wheel Wells Whisper! Sprinter Van Sound Deadening Made Simple

Sprinter Van Sound Deadening is a crucial - and often overlooked - aspect of any high-end motorhome. That's why at Hack My Van, we do more than enough. Way more!

Thanks to the wonderful professionals at Noico, we bring the quiet.

For wheel wells, we install three layers of Noico:
2 Layers of Noico Silver 80mil butyl sheet
1 Layer of Noico Red 150mil closed cell foam rubber

More than enough? We certainly hope so! The thinking goes like this:
It's a Mercedes. It should feel - and sound - like a Mercedes!

Wonderful vid ❤👍

Is there a vid where it shows the whole vehicle acousticed?

Thank you for showing all the details and how to get the sound deadening material to conform to the shape of the area that it's being applied! I did not find any links to the Norco products below your video.

Seems nice... looks it's costing much more than others.
Anyway, it would be super nice to have sound insulation on driver cabin than back of the van.
Most of us will spend tremendous amount of hours in driving and that's where sound deadening will
be needed the most. Driving 80 mph with tall van make significant noise and it is stressful, I searched to replace windshield with acoustic glass but wasn't available.

I just did my car doors and trunk! Great stuff and very friendly to handle! But why klimat vs noico?

[secondfirstsecond]

0:43 Sorry but that's not how the source of vibration come into contact, go outside the cabin and hit the wheel, the shock will vibrate the suspension spring and the whole cabin will resonate.

Just a idea, I also use PU expansion form spray into the body structure box frame.
It's reduced sound transmission and improve structure strength also omitting heat transfer.

Best sound insulation video. You went overboard on the wheels

[_OOO_]

Really enjoyed your vid and tips. Gotta say tho, with those kilmat logos on the side there, you kind of blew your cover on the Noico love. Good video regardless.

Why can't you just use the Noico red? How did the noico red to with reducing heat?

[josipmatic]

That amount of butyl is overkill and heavy! Use it just until metal do not rezonate but use other ligther materials to insulatation (noise and temperature).

That's quite comical when an American attempts to speak metric, more specifically;- 80mm is more than three inches I think the material might be 8mm. The black material, Norco Red, was quotes as 150mm which is 6" thick and I'm thinking that it may well be 1.5mm. Sorry Buddy I couldn't take you seriously but the demo was sound . . . PS I wouldn't shave with a craft knife i.e. your idea of a 'razor blade'.
