I used to work in the lead industry. Mining, processing smelting, refining and sales. Lead metal has virtually nil toxicity. Lead oxide is a different story and is very closely monitored and controlled in operations producing oxides.

Lead sound absorbing products are very effective but expensive. I've first hand experience with a high end yacht that used lead sound proofing materials placed upon Aluminum integral fuel tanks. The tank tops rotted out. The fix was not cheap.
