automotive sound deadening spray?

[monkeydelmagico]

Anyone ever try it on case interior? How did it turn out? I've used dynamat on car audio installs and started thinking about how this tech might be applicable. Your opinion and/or experiences would be appreciated.

I wouldn't see why it wouldn't....But would most likely be a messy adventure.

It's really messy and could chip off and enter components, I'd stay away from it and if you really want I'd recommend buying a case meant for silence. Fractal R3/P280/FT02.

Look at how messy it is

i used dynomat also... does a very nice job.. however it also insulates your case like a mofo...

You need very good airflow in and out of the case, or your gonna have heat problems.

Dynamat would work, they have a PC section;

^^^^ Yes, this. Not only does it absorb sound, it absorbs heat.

I've never seen the Dynamat computer stuff... that's interesting. With the foil back I don't know if it would absorb as much heat as the regular non-backed material.

Are magic sprays this years 'Magnets'? Someone told me the other day they'd bought a spray for their car tyres to improve traction!

Ah, but sometimes even a quiet case is not quite quiet enough .

I've used Dynamat computer kits on my last two builds, works pretty well and didn't notice any temperature increases; although I've switched over to Second Skin when it comes to car audio installs.

There are legitimate spray products that improve tire traction. In fact, many of those products are subject to US patents. I know, I examined and issued them. The primary issue with those products is that they do not last very long. I.e., the adhesion of the film created by the spray to the tire is not strong enough to maintain a bond with the tire for more than a day or two.

As to your post implying that dynamat doesn't work, I do not think you know much about the product. It has been used for many years in the car audio industry, and provides a great deal of sound insulation if installed properly.

Hmmm mixed reviews. I've focused my intent to the following path:

1) grab a can of Design Engineering spray at advance auto (050220)
2) grab a six pack of beer
3) Remove both side panels
4) drink beer
5) shoot the inside of case panels
6) drink beer and ponder what to do with the rest of the can of spray.
7) climb under car and proceed to make a mess in, and around, my loud, expensive, impulse buy Borla exhaust
8) walk away from whole mess sticky, cold, drunk, and in need of shower
9) forget to put computer back together for at least a week

I like this plan.....

Any case is quiet if the system is built from quiet components.

Spray "deader" is garbage. When using contrained layer dampener, you do not need to do 100% coverage. I typ. do 25%-50% on my cases and some kitchen equipment with excellent results (espresso grinder and machine).

SDS has excellent prices and service. This is the only deadener I'll use.

Not sure what you're trying to show here. Someone used expanding foam or glue to seal an MFD baffel to the car.

Don't use any spray rubber products on a pc case unless you want to smell rubber for months.

Dynamat is pretty expensive stuff. A good sound deadener has a membrane on an absorptive layer. The membrane captures sound energy and dissipates it through the absorptive layer. The bad part is that the layer is normally made out of some kind of tar material. The better sound deadeners use a rubberized material. I'd look at car audio applications, as there is much to choose from. I'd stay away from the tar though because it can really smell bad.

http://www.b-quiet.com/ has a great selection at different ranges of price. I would stay away from the spray or roll on formulas unless you get the really good stuff, but it is very expensive and is best applied with a sprayer.

Good point, thx
