Engine Room Soundproofing

What have you used to soundproof your engine room? Pictures of what you used once installed and where you purchased the material and why you chose a given material would be very helpful to all!

I did my ER in the fall and used Volvo Penta QL material in the attached link. It had an extremely sticky adhesive, is fire retardant, recycled material and did a great job of reducing the noise. You can buy in different thicknesses. Use regular hardware store foil tape to cover any joints. Did the whole job in just a couple hours. It was not overly expensive as compared to other material I looked at and available through my local retailer. Sorry no pictures.

He said he was looking for Quiet Company, but probably not here

I'm looking for the same thing, insulation for my ER/Salon floor panels

Was thinking of those lead panels from home Depot.

I have used lead/foam and lead/fiberglass products on two diesel boats with good success. SoundDown (maybe SounDown) has a good site with many specialized products.

Norm, I don't have the contact name. I ordered from a catalogue the mechanic at our marina had. Try any Volvo dealer, they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Roger, I was fortune my insulation was original 1981 and in poor shape and the adhesive came off with the insulation. Some in fact was falling off. I suck right over what was left and it adhered well.
