Recommendations on best floor insulation / sound deadener etc. Dynamat is expensive, other "equal to" alternatives out there?

I've seen people cover every inch of their interior with this stuff, I even did it myself.
THEN I've read that it isn't necessary to cover everything. The point of this stuff is to add density to absorb or deflect noise. The steel panels can vibrate and create a harmonic situation where what could just be a momentary thump instead makes a bang bang bang bang bang sound.
The asphalt mats absorb the vibrations.
I used Rattle Trap in my red car.

I used Second Skin Audio Damplifier 40 sq ft box on my floor before I replaced the carpet. 200 bucks from Amazon. I'm sure the others are great as well, but it literally feels like I'm in more of a capsule vs riding in a big piece of metal.

Maybe he’s referring to the OP as a Fatman.

I’ve used Noico.

It’s likely all the same **** and most of it made in Russia which is a big negative given what they’re doing right now……

I used to use it when I did car audio. It's cheaper than the others. Installs best when it's warm.

I put mass backed carpet in one of my cars with nothing else on the floor, and really pleased with the results.
