Door Sound Proofing

[dgage]

Great info in this thread.

But I'm liking it for a different reason.....

I'm fabricating a generator enclosure shed this spring.

Look up information for a hush projector as well as enclosing generators since you have to allow intake and exhaust. Also focus on decoupling of the generator from the ground. I sell big home theater subwoofers (18” and 24”) and one thing I’ve done to decouple subs is to put multiple layers of wood separated by dense rubber (rubber, wood, rubber, wood, rubber). Completely decouples from the floor and pretty easy to make.

Hockey pucks are another great way to decouple a sub from a floor. They work great for the sub I have in our basement.

I had a car I did about 20 years ago and every summer CLD (Raamatt) leaked out of the bottom of the doors and ruined several pants of mine and my wife’s. Now I won’t cut corners or try for a cheaper product. Besides, there is a performance difference for cars. HVAC is pretty easy in terms of sound deadening, cars are quite complex audio and noise environments.

Thermo-Tec isn't cutting corners. It's the real deal. It's used in the building of performance cars to yes, HVAC system because it's also able to handle high temps. It's 8/10 vs Dynamat at far less costs. Used it for years.

Good ideas.

I'm just looking for some basic sound deadening. (Walls and lid.) I'll use a 1" thick horse mat for the floor.

I have all of the venting/exhaust all planned out.
