I'm a little disappointed, it made very little difference.

It's helping, but still needs some more treatment. The next step is to use the sound mat on the inside of the fender wells -inside the car and possibly some more coats of the rubber spray. I'll keep you all posted as I make progress and as to what makes the biggest difference.

Sorry to hear. I was hoping for a simple solution. Keep us posted as you progress through the alternatives. Thanks for being the pioneer.

You'll have more success with the sound matting - personally I wouldn't use any more rubber spray mate - spend the money on a nice treat for yourself instead (a CD maybe?).

I thought this might be the case with the spray on stuff. Is higher frequency noise (not the tire rolling drone) less pronounced? The sound mat will more than likely damp the structure better and reduce the noise.

Thanks for the info!

just curious, will sound mat hold onto water/moisture and will it cause rust on metal parts due to holding onto moisture?
