Sound Deadening

What is Sound Deadening

Sound Deadening or (Dampening) is a type of material that gets adhered to large flat sections of metal in a car which are likely to vibrate and absorb sound.

By applying the sound deadening material the metal becomes rigid and dampened.  Meaning that any frequencies that would have been absorbed the flexible tinny metal are heard by the listener in full effect.

Sound Deadening does 3 main things:

  1. Prevents metal from absorbing bass frequencies, allowing them to be heard by the listener.
  2. Keeps all the sound produced inside the car...  inside the car.  So nothing is lost to the outside world.
  3. Prevents external noises from traveling back into the car (i.e. road noise).

Adding this material to any sound system big or small is going to make a phenomenal positive difference to the bass and overall sound quality of the music inside the car.

Our Brands

Dynamat

Dynamat is our long standing brand of sound deadener that we have used countless times in virtually every thinkable application inside a car.

Being a single layer deadener makes it very mailable and useful in situations where there are strange curves in the metal or where there is little depth available, for instance in between the metal of the door and the interior door card.







Focal - BAM

Focal's new range of sound deadening called BAM is an AMAZING product.
Not only does it have the standard layer of deadening material at its base but on top of that it also has a thick layer of acoustic foam which a) acts as an insulator to regulate the air temperature in the doors or whichever cavity it sits in.  And b) it prevents sounds from reflecting of surfaces and allowing them to be heard twice. Basically if your speakers make the sound of someone saying the word "Subwoofer", you will only hear the initial sound of the speakers producing that sound and not the sound of it being bounced of different panels in the car.
This works especially well when a speaker is mounted in a door.
