Lemme help you. It's not.

All I do know is that without the soundproofing, ATC was unable to reliably hear my transmissions due to the high cabin noise.
What were you flying?

FWIW, you can probably add sound insulation to a Lancair 235 firewall without too much risk, assuming you don't get it too close to the pass-through fittings; they are local hot spots.

A stainless sheet RV firewall is an entirely different animal.
