I am soundproofing my genset. I built a little 1/2" doghouse, mounted
on the generator carriage. I am going to install lead lining inside,
using 1mm thick 2.5 lbs per square foot lead sheet. The weight of all
this lead is going to be approximately 100 lbs.

My question is, is "roofing lead" as good as "soundproofing
lead". Perhaps the alloy composition is different and it might impact
sound transmission characteristics? Any thoughts?

It is overkill, but it will work just fine. Usually the soundproofing lead
is 1/64 thick and about 1lb. per Sq.Ft.

they come up with this striped stuff.
