For this thread I thought instead of a how to I would just post up a couple of pics of my adventure adding sound proofing to the inside of the LMTV cab and ask others to show the same.
I have seen several other folks post pics of their sound proofing but I didn't see a specific thread for the topic so please post up any pics or tips.
Here is my setup:
- Product used: (nice and thick) Noico Black 80 Mil X 36 Sq Ft Self-adhesive Foil & Butyl Sound Deadening Under Carpet and Mat. Got it on Amazon and about the most reasonably priced thick sound deadener out there. I purchased two boxes of 36 sq. ft. each. Going to need another box to finish under the driver/passenger seats and the roof.
- Sound deadener applied to under heater and behind heater against the front of the cab

- Sound Deadener Applied to: Removed plastic panels from back wall and under the back side windows. Added deadener to entire surface of back wall of cab, area under back side windows, and am almost done with center hump.

NOTE: I kept the round panel mounting holes clear of deadener, obviously, however I did also make sure all the pocket and bigger holes were not obstructed to avoid any condensation issues.
Pic of back wall done and ready for the plastic cover to go back on. I cut-up the original foam backing on the hump pad and added it to the void spots on the back wall. Also doubled up on the 80mil soundproofing on same voids.

This project is taking FOREVER, but I should be done in a week or so. Last pic shows the unfinished hump... Have to finish the hump, one sheet under the driver and passenger side storage boxes (running out of deadener sheets) then cover all the sticky seams with aluminum tape.

Interesting note, I pulled up my original hump mat and found I have the front gunners platform mounts already installed. Not sure if all LMTVs are like that but I thought it was cool. Wish I could find the platform.
I am installing a new center hump mat so I plan to use the old foam under my original mat, that is still in great shape, to add insulation to the back wall.
Looking forward to seeing the other sound deadening projects out there and will post some finished pics when I get there.
Thanks OD
