Now the car's all welded up as well as painted, I started lining the boot with sound insulation. It's 5mm thick malleable rubber coated in 1mm aluminium foil. I rollered it into the floor and wheel arches then got the side panels back on. For reference, I used half a pack of this stuff:
www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/stinger-roadkill...dening-material.html
So, in total, I used approx 18sq feet with some minor overlap.
Here's a few pics:
All put back together:
I did a circuit of my neighbourhood which is up/down a hill trying to keep driving consistent (which was pretty easy given that there was no cars around). I recorded a 7-decibel drop in max noise and 4-decibel drop on average over the journey. My back box is blowing so I expect this reading to drop a fair bit after I fix that too, but it was audibly quieter.
Tomorrow I'll take the seats out, line the floor with a double layer on the transmission tunnel. Then it's in with the new carpet I bought and some new floor mats on top of that. Finally getting the inside of the car feeling like a proper car now instead of a tin can. I still have another full box so if I have enough spare I might think about getting the roof lined (as I think member Keithy and Ricky) did?

Self isolating in the woods, brilliant idea. I bet that is really peaceful and serene.

Long day installing sound deadening panels in the front, lots of odd shaped bits and cuts. Filled the front doors and rear boot door too.
New carpet back in with chairs all steam cleaned and hoovered. 06 carpet was push button so had to cut out a hole for low range gear lever.
Got 3/4 of a box left - next I will try and do the roof. It has helped massively - the noise level is greatly reduced with the engine sounding like a subtle humming rather than shaking various body panels.

This sound proofing is not cheap is it? I've considered it before and may well do kn the future, given you are pleased with it.
Which stuff did you use please?
