[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 4644646, member: 568577"] You'll notice a difference, but when you do a second layer, perhaps 3rd, 4th, 5th, or even 6 layers ([IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]) you won't have to worry about anything. Main thing you want to do is locate the problem. If you have a friend that can help, what you can do is play some songs that you know get rattling or vibration, sometimes volume doesn't need to be loud at all, its just the frequency that is being played is resonating the objects. So what you can do is have your friend play the song and keep going to that part while you locate where it's coming from and then deaden the area or use an open cell foam if needed. Sometimes its hard sometimes its easy. I know on my Accord I did the tail lights just because I had extra deadener. Little did I realize that it made a big difference and cancelled alot of rattling. Also, do one thing at a time, you don't want to do multiple areas and find out you still have the same problem. I had some minimal rattling occuring where my rear bumper was. Turns out there is a metal bar so I deadened it and it helped a littled. I took it out and put a 1/2" or 3/4" foam tape and put it back on and went through hell to put it on. All it did was make things MUCH worse. I never got around to taking out, but it was my plan. Part of the problem was that the foam was so thick and it was closed cell foam, had it been open cell foam it would have gone away I'm pretty sure. If you ever want tips or advice feel free to PM me. I'm no expert, but the amount of deadening I've done to my car was quite intense. It's fairly simple to do though. [/QUOTE]
