Sound Proofing starts with some means of damping.
We offer many products for this, and they all have various degrees
of effectiveness.
To effectively know about sound dampening, we should first study
more on the reason why we need to sound deaden. That culprit is known
as Noise!
What is Noise?
Noise is simply unwanted sound that is transmitted by vibration through
air, panels, floors or roofs. In a car, most people consider noise
to be just about any sound other than those made by what they are
doing or listening to. For example, if a person is on their cell phone,
they don’t want to hear the road noise while driving down the
road. Unfortunately, most vehicles today are only marginally effective
at blocking noise.
Noise Is Measured in Decibels (dB)
Some Examples are as follows.
So in a nut shell noise is simply the transmitted vibration that
we do not care to hear. We have had hundreds of thousands of customers
purchase our products for various reasons. Whether your looking to

dB Facts
Looking at the chart below we can clearly see the
dramatic change 3-18 dB's can make when you get into the higher decibel
levels. Lets take for example a computer printing room Vs a lawn mower.
The lawn mower reads in at 90dB and the printing room at 80dB. Imagine
the impact of gaining that 10dB in your vehicle, 10dB of nice clean
music. That is a huge factor, and that's why sound damping your vehicle
can make all the difference in the world. Taking one afternoon or evening
and deadening your vehicle will leave you with many years of rattle
free, nice clean and enjoyable music. O'Ya did we also mention that
you can eliminate road / highway noise, engine heat as well as a myriad
other disturbing and irritating side effects of owing a vehicle. Sound
deadening is the overall #1 Improvement you can make to your vehicle.

Some facts about dB's
Auditory nerves can be permanently damaged from prolonged exposure
at 90 dB
120 dB can cause pain and ringing in the ear
Sharp pain and extensive destruction of the auditory nerves occurs
at 140 dB
At 150 - 160 dB massive destruction of the auditory nerves and persistent
ringing in the ears will occur immediately
