Mack Transport Trucks are built for all road conditions and long-haul trucking. But truck owners know that a lack of soundproofing in transport trucks is a classic problem. As discussed in the following Soundproofing a Transport Truck there are well-known sources of noise coming from a transport truck’s cab.
The good news is that B-Quiet.com offers a range of automotive sound deadening products which absorbs structural and mechanical vibrations from gears, engines, suspensions, and the road, converting them into low level heat. With a reputation for providing good quality and inexpensive automotive sound deadening products that can be easily applied to your Mack Transport Truck to reduce interior cabin noise.
Why Mack Trucks Get So Loud
Mack transport trucks are built for power, but long hours in the cab can mean constant exposure to engine rumble, road vibration, and wind noise. Over time, this isn’t just tiring it can cause driver fatigue and reduce focus. Sound deadening makes every haul smoother, quieter, and more comfortable.
How Much Material Do You Need?
Most Mack truck cabs will require between 100-140 sq ft of sound deadening material, but the exact amount depends on the model and size of the cab. For the best results, apply Ultimate sheets across the floor, doors, and roof to stop vibration and road noise, and double up on the firewall and transmission tunnel for extra heat and engine control. Adding HLiner to the roof or firewall will further enhance comfort on long hauls. Always check the specifications of your Mack cab model to estimate the exact coverage needed.
Applying B-Quiet Ultimate Automotive Sound Deadener in a Mack Transport Truck
B-Quiet Ultimate can be applied to the floorboard, roof, cabin walls, doors, and dash panels of a Mack transport truck. Proper installation ensures maximum noise and vibration reduction, making long hauls quieter and more comfortable.
Step 1: Prepare the Surface
-
Clean all metal surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, grease, moisture, or debris.
-
A clean, dry surface ensures the adhesive forms a strong, lasting bond.
Step 2: Measure and Cut the Material
-
Cut B-Quiet Ultimate into pieces around 1 square foot in size.
-
Use scissors or a utility knife, avoid cutting pieces too small, as this slows installation.
-
Mark and leave openings for screw holes, wiring, or clips so panels can be reinstalled easily.
Step 3: Apply the Material
-
Peel off the paper backing, then lay the material down inch by inch, pressing firmly.
-
Use a roller or your hand to push the material into the contours of the metal panels.
-
For best results, apply at or above room temperature. Heating with a hair dryer or heat gun is not necessary, unlike many other sound deadeners.
Step 4: Treat Major Noise Sources
-
Floorboard & Cabin Walls: Remove seats and carpet, then apply Ultimate directly to the metal surface. This step takes about 3–4 hours for a full cab.
-
Doors & Dash Panels: Remove the interior trim panels, apply Ultimate to the inside metal skin, and press it firmly into place.
-
Roof: With headliner removed, apply Ultimate sheets to reduce wind and rain noise.
Step 5: Reassemble the Interior
-
Carefully reinstall carpet, seats, and panels.
-
Double-check that clip holes, screw points, and wiring access remain open and functional.
Pro Tip: For maximum noise reduction, pair B-Quiet Ultimate with HLiner on the roof and firewall, and VComp.
