Does sound matting actually work? Detailed results after DIY

[BMW DIY Guy]

I hope everyone is having a fantastic, week and I am excited to share my latest video! I have been working through installing SoundSkins Global products into my BMW M2C, to reduce road noise and improve the already amazing audio upgrades from BimmerTech.

With all of the sound mat work in the car, I wanted to provide a real concrete follow up on the results of those changes. Keep in mind that I have worked through essentially stage 1-3 of updates to my M2C.

Stage 1 wouldn't change sound floor levels so isn't represented in this video specifically. It absolutely though did make a difference in the sound quality of my door mids. They were more pronounced and richer in sound quality.

Stage 2 did make quite a bit of road noise difference and also continued to improve sound quality of the audio from the door speakers.

Stage 3 is the full meal deal, looking to go after road noise, but also with the underseat subs, insulate them away from the metal floor as well.

So with that, I took measurements at OEM, stage 2 and full stage 3 to show the real world effect of adding materials like this to your car.

The preview is, I am super impressed and REALLY glad I did it. Check out the video for actual results and samples, but the instrumentation does show very positive results.

If you find your car a little too noisy, or you want to dramatically improve your audio quality, this is a fantastic way to do so.
