Applying sound deadening

Not sure if I'm imagining things, but was there ever a thread on here discussing how to apply sound deadening (like dynamat) in your car?

I don't mean basic application, I'm talking technical type application, like the best way to strategically apply smaller amounts to get the same result.

It was along the lines of applying strips rather than whole sheets in certain areas that will reflect sound better, or something like that....

I'm sure I read it on here somewhere........
 
Not sure if its what you mean, but apparently there are specific areas of the CE that resonate a lot more than others. Rear wheel wells in particular are noisy, as well as the rear quarter panels. Roof tends to be a big one also in all cars. I think the general rule is to cover the open unsupported areas, such as the roof between the supports. Further than that i cant really advise.

Thanks Donki. Mines a CC 4 door, but I'll go with the idea of covering the larger unsupported areas.
 
I think you're looking for a thread in the ce mirage section, bloke by the name of 'jeo' I reckon it was.


*ninja edit* yep the title is Team Daily - Joe's CE Mirage
 
i wonder if there’s a way to actually measure (without expensive acoustic engineering tools) which areas are most prone to resonance, so you can target them specifically rather than guessing

maybe doing a run with a passenger listening to different panels with an ebay stethoscope? or hanging coathangers around and seeing which ones vibrate more violently? hmm
