Soundproofing the little diesel

[A4_cabrio]

I was watching the SEMA show on Discovery HD theater the other day and I saw this guy from Duramat or something like this presenting his soundproofing this Hot Rod. He said those materials would also absorb vibrations.

I was wondering if you know of a product I could use to soundproof the engine bay - I hate the roughness of the 2.0T engine - especially at idle.

that would be great to have something like that. I dont like loudness in the cabin too

You refering to Dynamat? Audio shops carry it.

You want to put dynamat in your engine bay? Don't you want to hear the engine? It's really not that loud, just a bit tappy.

I don't think lining your engine bay with dynamat is a viable solution though. Have you looked at a 3.2?

There are too types of noises: one is the engine-exhaust noise - which I love.
Believe me - I rev the engine on my Z4 just for pure pleasure when I am sitting at a stop light.
And there is rough engine noise because of the FSI. My car is a 2005.5 and that is one of the worst in term of idle engine noise.
I dont dig that - Audi which claims are a forerunner in technology could have done better.
If I can mute some of that noise - why not?

Dynamat has a hood liner. I think I will give it a try:
