their web site says you can but i have not personally tried it under the hood

FatMat works very well under the hood, I have installed it under the hood on 2 vehicles.

No. You would need a soundproofing solution. This product is for sound absorption.

I installed in the engine bay near the battery to keep it dry.... all wiring should be kept away from the exhaust

Maybe if you change you air intake filter, because my are really petty loud! but I would like my to be a little bit louder when idling!!!

I wouldn't; too much exhaust would collect. I placed a 4'X4' piece of 3/8'" plywood on top and propped other pieces alongside. The gaps let the exhaust out and allowed the engine to breathe but I could still hear it inside the house. This unit is not that loud, but it is noticeable. Good luck!

Sorry, but I can't give you an answer because I'm not sure if they are adding any dampening to my toyota 2003 Echo. Road noise is still quite noticeable even with the windows tightly closed.

Yes. I do it all the time. It tends to be a tad louder from the plastic parts slightly rattling from the engine vibrations. I hadn't even noticed it until a couple we know joined us one weekend with their trailer and Honda generator.

I don't know how you plan to use it...I have it as a cooling fan on a lawn tractor. Can't hear it at all over the engine noise. It works great and I would definitely recommend it.

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

I'm not sure there is any way to effectively block out airplane engine noise as those engines vibrate everything and those vibrations are felt as much as heard. But I can tell you for certain that it's really effective at blocking out my 5 year old son's video gaming and my wife's requests for me to paint things or pick heavy things up to move them a few inches to the left... then to the right... then put them back down where they were to begin with.

IMHO...it will stop metal vibration harmonics and dampen road noise a bit. I did the inside of my doors and used 1 coat spayed on thick. Be careful with this stuff it stays tacky for a while and is very messy to clean up.

No; in fact, it's quieter than the factory one. Normally, you can't hear it at all.

It will quiet noisy lifters in the engine. Rislone engine treatment will work as well.

Not likely as it actually screws to the hood. It would create a bit of down-force which could help but realistically, if your hood shakes you may need to get some improved tie down clamps. The rubber on yours could be stretched out.

I installed it (or rather my mechanic did) under a snowmobile hood so as to warn the driver when reverse was engaged. I had sufficient room for this application.

I think is would work fine. It does make some noise when it's running,but not much more than a regular vent hood.

I have used this on two of my car projects, nice to work with on a fairly flat surface. It has to be glued in place, so I would recommend using on top only. It will make a definite noise reduction for you. You should look into the heat insulation/sound deadener also, it will also help the sound and vibration from the body and can be applied to the under side easily. jon
