Hey guys,
Previously, I did soundproofing for my other cars, and this time I did it for my IBIZA. Since the materials I used were relatively much cheaper, I did not expect a significant change, but I was still satisfied. First, I did the trunk area, then under the hood, and finally under the rear seat.
As the first layer, I used a material called Bituself, which reduces vibrations (resonances) on bare metal. Then, I completed the insulation in two layers by sticking closed-cell foam called Firex on top of it.
Under the hood, I applied this foam layer in 2-3 layers and additionally installed the OEM under-hood insulator on top.
Despite these non-professional materials, I noticed a significant change. For my other cars, I will use CTK or KILLMAT brands from now on, hoping they will be even better.
In the future, I will also do the trunk lid and above the wheels. There is a lot of tire noise coming from the front, and I believe that once I reduce that, it will provide a very high level of driving comfort. Even as it is now, I can say it has reached the level of a VW Passat.
