its called Dynamat ( not Dynomat, I think that was what JJ Walker used to say on ' Goodtimes' -odamn I'm old...). Its sound deadening material. It is used to reduce the resonace in cars by higher end audio installers. It works fairly well when used right.

Someone I knew dynamat-ed his GTP after installed nearly $3K of audio equipment, including custom 6x9's for each door (SEDAN) and two 12" subs in the trunk. Trust me, w/ the build quality of this particular GTP, it sorely needed it --> the dynamat not only improved acoustics (for someone w/ a poor musical ear such as myself), but also deadened road noise a little, and totally cut out plastic vibration. It was QUITE a task installing it, but he's really into car audio, so that's his sort of gig.

It is good stuff - the best is sorbothane, which is essentially a very lossy polymer in solid form. Many different thicknesses available. It has the highest absorption factor I am aware of.

We use this widely in the high end audio design world.

It is expensive, but the best - try McMaster-Carr for sourcing.
