Dynamat Under Hood and Sound Deadening

Dynamat Under Hood and Sound Deadening
I did a search and couldn't find anything on putting dynamat (or similar material) under the engine compartment hood. So here we go. I saw a kit that is being sold for under 100.00 that is a sound deadening material to quiet the car (dynamat I believe) and a heat shield made of thin aluminum (like reynolds wrap but thicker) to protect the heat transfer to your paint.
I was wondering if anyone had tried this item and if it works?
Also, what are the top 4 places to add sound deadening material to quiet our cars? I already did the trunk and it made a difference.
Thanks in advance

Why do you wanna sound deaden your engine? Are you makeing a sleeper and dont want anyone to hear your turbo? Never heard of anyone sound deading their engine before plus your hood already has heat protection on it, you know that gray stuff on it thats what that is maybe your just going

Drive a Lexus, BMW or Benz- and tell me you don't notice the difference in noise reduction. I am planning on this as well, but I think the major gains would come from the firewall, floorpan and doors.

I did 192 sq ft of Stinger Roadkill in an 01 SE recently. The entire trunk and trunk lid has multiple layers, the outer door shell as well as the door frame itself each got a layer, and the whole floor, rear deck, pillars, and basically everywhere else you can think of, got a layer. It was quite an expensive project and took me and the owner 25 hours to do (in 2 days), but it definitely made 100% improvement. I would start with the floor and doors though, since you already did the trunk.

i consider the sound from intake, exhaust, tires, and stereo to be a completely different category than what were talking about here. road noise is something transferred through the body of the vehicle, not coming from modifications causing an amplification.

easy, vato.
i was just saying that if youve got things like 19" wheels, catback, and 1200watts- dont bother trying to reduce the noise.
as a cheap alternative, spray adhesive and tar paper- for roofing- has been known to work very well. no joke. thats old school like toad stools.

My engine is very quiet (stock exhaust except for a test pipe) but the road noise even with reasonably quiet tires is pretty bad. I can see putting down some sound deadening material in the doors, trunk and under the carpet but not the engine compartment.

As to all you Newbie Police (sic), how can you flame someone named Michelle who writes "I love happiness" in their sig? Seriously?
Flaming an innocent noob at Christmas... Bunch of Scrooges.

You know what, Troop? I just looked at her post history, and it reads like she's searching on rust repair and/or headliner issues.
There are 5 posts, all identical and strangely cryptic. Turns out this was a fail after all.
Ho ho ho, indeed. I have eggnog on my face.
