I was wondering if any one has lined the inside of the sheet metal engine/fan/louver box enclosure of their 002 or 003 with automotive sound attenuating insulation. I have been looking at at roll of 1/8" thick, self stick, foil faced. I was thinking if you covered every possible inch of the (inside) metal covers, it wouldn't impact the motors performance, would be (visually) unnoticeable and could quiet things down a bit. The only negative is less heat radiation. But I don't think would be much of an issue.
It seems like it could make it a lot quieter...but I figured I'd run it up the flagpole here. Are there other things I am not considering
