Just drive with the windows down for 5 or 10 minutes. Then roll them up. Car sounds quiet for awhile.

[gordon]

A lot of that noise comes from Scotty yelling.

[austintomkewitz]

Scotty wouldn't be Scotty without saying when I was a young mechanic in every video xd

[WeShallC]

I would insulate my trunk with that product. Keep me from hearing the screams. 😱

[jot]

“Lack of insulation in the matrix” has me laughing

[rainystorm]

Now this begs the question why car makers don’t put them in and charge a couple hundred dollars more? Probably market segmenting to allow the luxury cars to appear more luxurious than they are.

[gamesofcontent]

When I had the stereo put in my car I had them put this stuff all over. Did not realize how loud my car was before, crazy. I know some people say stereos are a poor investment, and they are, but I am in my car 20 hours a week and it was not a major expense for me. It has made my commute way more enjoyable. The music has greater clarity and the podcast I listen are easier to understand at a lower volume level.

[magicrobharv]

Scotty took the red pill, he knows the truth about the Matrix !

[TBONESIDEOFLIFE]

Checked my wife's car this way and as soon as I put her out.... "quiet." saved money on soundproofing, may do home next, LOL!

You have discovered GM's secret anout how similar a Chevrolet is to a Cadillac. For years, GM made Chevrolet, Pontiac, Olds, Buick and Cadillac, and the prices increased as you went from Chev to Cadillac, (I may have the middle order off). GM claimed the cars were smoother riding, ie: more luxurious as you spent more money.
About 5 years ago, I gutted the old, stinky cloth interior of my 1989 Olds 88, and replaced it with a full leather interior from a late '90's Buick from a wrecking yard. I don't think anyone had ever sat in the back seat, ( car had about 50k on it).
I got the entire Buick interior, from carpet pad to seat belts.
I decided to insulate above the brand new headliner I was installing, and fill in body voids below the back seat windows, and some other areas.
When I started putting the interior back in, I decided to first put down some carpet pad I got from an upholstery supplier made from recycled plastic milk jugs. It also had foil on one side.
The formed carpet from the Buick didn't quite lay right, so I ended up reusing the heavily rubberized carpet pad from the Buick and the more typical grey non-rubber coated carpet pad from the Olds. So, I ended up with a lot of pad.
After I got the interior done, and took my wife some where for the first time with the new interior installed, she asked me, (with no prompting or questions from me), "Did you do anything to the suspension or tires, or anyhting else?"
Now, my wife doesn't know much about cars. I was really surprised by her question. When I dug a bit deeper with her, I discovered she felt the car rode much smoother than it did previously.
I told her I only did the interior, but she was adament I had done more.
For her, the ride got smoother as it got quieter. It is definitely quieter, much quieter. Also cooler in the Summer, and warmer in the Winter.
I got to thinking about the effect of sound deadening the car, and came to the conclusion the big price difference GM got for their different lines of cars came down to the type and amount of carpet pad they used, and not much else.

I just bought a used 06 Dodge Grand Caravan last summer. It was a smokers' car, so I took out all the interior plastic pieces and washed them. Before I put them back, I shoved as much bubble wrap in the body cavities and door cavities as I could.
Then drove the van from NY to Oregon. This is my third Dodge Grand Caravan, and the only complaint I had about the previous vans was the road noise. Not with this one.
If you have your interior apart, add some sound deadener. You won't regret the cost, or work.

[RennieAsh]

I've done this in a few of my cars, it does make a difference. But I think you also have to select the right tyres, as that prevents noise being transmitted into the structure in the first place!

[OldAndGettingOlder]

I just did sound deadener and ½" insulation in my 68 Firebird. I used a different brand, but I can attest that this is worth doing. The floor temperature is greatly reduced. The interior is very solid sounding. It was some moderate work. I'm glad I did it.

[williamrowe]

Every time you come out with a video you have another reason for me to spend money on my vehicle.

[Stevesmith-ywcr]

Great advice. Make sure you clean off the metal or plastic with alcohol as it will not stick well. Make sure you have the tools to remove interior trim and plastic pieces. It will allow for much easier removal without damage.

[Tajsingh]

2:02 Then you take isopropyl alcohol
*phhisshhkk** 😂😂

[KSMata]

I enjoy Scotty's so-called yelling. It's comforting, reminds me of our house growing up. Similar to the Sicilian household, Andalucians can also sound like their having an argument when they're really just having a normal conversation.

[garysantos]

Soundproofing also means:
Your vehicle will be "Warmer in the Winter, " and with air conditioning, it "will be Cooler in the Summer."

[BPEKSupraInteractive]

Also, noise insulation can be reduced depending on how thick the side windows are. I wish there's a company that retrofits new and thicker windows to older cars.

[calinanais]

If you keep talking so loud no isolation is good enough.
