Best value is probably what I used back in the 1960s - sound deadening
felt, bitumen faced for the engine bay, uncoated elsewhere. Whether it
is the most effective now available is a different question that I
can't answer.

From experience with felt in a camper van many years ago, the problem is
that felt holds condensation.

Ours rusted out from the inside.

Maybe a VW would be better.
