Has anyone added sound proofing to their 4th gen yet?

Has anyone added butyl/foam/fiber mat sound deadening/absorption to their 4th gen Tacoma yet? I want to add some to my roof, wheel wells, and doors... as possible floor near the firewall. Curious to hear what you used and the difference

From what I’ve gathered, doors and behind the seats are the best bang for the buck. I’ll be doing mine in a few weeks?

I added some Kilmat sound deadening mat to the doors while changing out the speakers. Not sure of the overall impact.

I also did my 4 doors when I changed out my speakers. Did it just to keep the vibrations down. Truck is very quiet the way it is

I'm TBD. If I do, it would be the rear of the truck. There are times where I'd swear the rear wheels were right behind my head.

I've done this with Dynamat (butyl) in the past. It's heavy stuff. When I did this to my Wrangler, I easily added 100 lbs. Given the impact of weight, and that the TH reportedly has softer springs than expected, I'm going wait a bit on this. Overall the truck's pretty quiet...quieter than my Infiniti...the high perf tires on some pavements can be real noisy.

OH man, I took out my wider rear seat for a goose gear panel, and the amount of increased noise from the left rear is really surprising. I might be considering some sound proofing for the floor around the battery and left rear door.

It was one of my first mods on my hybrid. 100% better and easy to do!

This is a very helpful observation. I'm experiencing the same. I wondered about our Goose Gear being a contributing cause. I have some spare Dynamat on a shelf. I think I'll experiment, first, with lining part of the GG compartment. Easy to do, along with whatever of the sheet metal I can easily reach at the time.

Appreciate the comment.
