Default Best deal on lead foam?

Since shipping lead around the countryside is expensive, you could
always make your own, with lead flashing from Home Despot.....

Soundown, BTW, are the world class experts in marine noise reduction.
Joe Smullin cut his teeth at BBN making USN submarines as quiet as a
hole in the water.

Thanks, I tried making some w/2lb/sqft lead sheet and I had trouble getting
the foam to stick to the lead sheet so I was hoping to find something that
looked better at a decent price.

Whispermat is a competing product made by American Acoustic Products. A
little less expensive than Soundown but I am not sure that their numbers
are quite as good as Soundown. OTOH, 90% of the effectiveness is in the
quality of the installation. They are in Mass too but distribute
through several outlets around the country including one in Cypress, TX.
Might save you some on shipping.

high to me especially shipped to Dallas,TX.
