Soundproofing Basics

For the best results, use two or three layers of different soundproofing materials. Each type of material has its own properties that help to reduce different kinds of sounds.

Layer 1: Sound Deadening Mats

VibroFiltr Sound Deadening Roll for soundproofing your car, van or camper

Apply this material directly onto the metal panels of your vehicle to eliminate vibrations and road noise.

Layer 3, Option 1: Acoustic Felt

12mm VibroFiltr Acoustic Felt (adhesive side corner view)

Helps to absorb the remaining unwanted sounds within the vehicle, and provides additional thermal insulation. Can only be used in dry places.

Layer 2: Sound/Thermal Insulation Mats

ST-mat made from black flex rubber foam (adhesive side view)

Made from closed-cell foam, an ST-mat provides both sound and thermal insulation. It is also fire retardant and moisture proof.

Layer 3, Option 2: Acoustic Foam
