NOICO Sound Deadening/Dampening
I installed a layer of sound deadening material over the weekend in hopes of knocking down the whine of my 35's inside the cabin. I used the 80 Mil product from NOICO, ordering one package of 36 sq.ft. and one package of 18 sq.ft. from Amazon, spending about $95. I used pretty much the entire 54 sq.ft. with what you see in the photo below being what I had left over. I avoided overlapping the material for the most part, which allowed me to maximize coverage. I did not remove door panels and apply to the doors skins. I'm pleased with the results as the product definitely knocks down a significant amount of tire/road noise. This, in combination with the HotHead headliners and Sound Assassin strips I recently applied to the hardtop has made a nice overall improvement. Highly recommended for those interested in a quieter ride.

So what's the cross-section on this material look like? I like that you tried something different than what everyone else is doing. Do you have any plans to add some of the material to the doors as well? If this gets moist, will you have any deterioration of the quality of the material?

I may pull off a door panel and take a peek at how much trouble it would be to apply to the door skins, depending on the aggravation level, I may eventually apply there as well. The good thing about it is that it's relatively inexpensive, so there's not a huge financial commitment.
According to the Wiki, butyl is:
"A synthetic rubber, or elastomer, butyl rubber is impermeable to air and used in many applications requiring an airtight rubber. Polyisobutylene and butyl rubber are used in the manufacture of adhesives, agricultural chemicals, fiber optic compounds, ball bladders, caulks and sealants, cling film, electrical fluids, lubricants (2 cycle engine oil), paper and pulp, personal care products, pigment concentrates, for rubber and polymer modification, for protecting and sealing certain equipment for use in areas where chemical weapons are present, as a gasoline/diesel fuel additive, and even in chewing gum. The first major application of butyl rubber was tire inner tubes. This remains an important segment of its market even today."
I know it's also used in roof repair, so I think it's fairly tolerant to moisture, I guess the only question is how the adhesive qualities hold up when exposed to water. I can tell you that the butyl that gets on your hands is difficult to wash off with just water (note: although not horribly sticky, I'd advise using nitrile gloves during application to avoid cleanup hassles), so I suspect the same would be true on the vehicle as well.

What did you do that you wanted to remove the sound deadening? Always nice to learn how to not paint yourself into a corner.

Good luck ever getting that out of the Jeep. I hope you left your drain plugs uncovered as well.

It's a simple product, just foil and butyl. You just peel and stick, and then roll or press to ensure proper contact and adhesion I may pull off a door panel and take a peek at how much trouble it would be to apply to the door skins, depending on the aggravation level, I may eventually apply there as well.

Well, had to cut the back up for the strut towers and fuel cell. Decided I want to bead line it. You honestly can't remove the stuff. I cut half the floor out and replaced it. The rest just requires not caring that the interior will be bare metal. I only did the rear of my 2-door. I probably have 20 hours into removing it and another 5 to go. If I could get those 20 hours back, I'd just replace the rear tub.
