Soundproofing FAQs Index

In a kit you will receive cut parts of different exclusive soundproofing materials depending on your specific vehicle type. All parts are numbered which coincides with a fitting/instruction guide explaining where that part goes. If necessary the parts will have an adhesive layer which you simply peel the backing paper off to adhere.

Noisekiller kits are unique in that not one material simply covers the whole vehicle. Materials have been specially designed dependant on various factors to reduce the different types of unwanted vehicle noises. In a full kit you would normally receive at least 3 different types of soundproofing material.

No, we can supply part kits for different areas e.g. engine bay only, but the best sound proofing result is gained by fitting a full kit. You also receive a saving when purchasing a full kit as opposed to buying each section individually.

Our professional experienced installers can fit kits in 2 to 3 hours, so if you add 2 more hours max to fit yourself that would be ample.

Some vehicles have a black cover clipped onto the bonnet lid. This cover isn't soundproofing and is designed to stop your bonnet lid from discolouring. Our NoiseKiller Vibrasorb material adheres to the single skin areas on your bonnet lid. You can then replace this black cover afterwards if you wish.

No extra adhesives/fixings are needed when you purchase a kit. If any part is designed to be stuck, it will have a strong adhesive layer.

Most of our materials come in either 1m x 1.2m (half a sheet), or 2m x 1.2m (full sheet) sizes. All materials can easily be cut to shape using a Sharp Stanley knife on a firm surface.

The ultimate material for this area is the NoiseKiller Lead Sandwich. This material is best fitted when the engine is not in the vehicle for access purposes. NoiseKiller Barrier Mat is another option and can be used slightly easier when the engine is in situ.

Marine Ply allows most sound to transmit straight through, therefore it is essential that the best blocking material is used (lead!) By sandwiching the lead inside two layers of open cell acoustic foam ensures once blocked, the airborne sounds are then absorbed.

An engine blanket is a product designed to get as close as possible to the noise source (i.e. the engine!) to reduce the sound immediately. It comprises of a layer of lead, inside two layers of open cell acoustic foam with a high temperature fortaglass outer material capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 350⁰. Brass eyelets are inserted in all four corners and releasable cable ties supplied for fixing in position.
