I have added some of my preliminary results on my site using a decibel meter. I compared the results against my vehicles to get idea of how it measures up. I think it looking good so far. I will also test it in the normal Rhino environment, in grass, on dirt and from a distance. I can tell you this with no scientific measurement it is virtually silent from 50-70 feet away in a wooded environment or in the tall grass.
Check it out and post your thoughts...http://www.onebadrhino.com/One%20Bad%20Rhino%20Hush%20Kit.htm |

Vehicle Right side db Left side db Front db Back db
My Rhino(w/Hush Kit) 81 db 82 db 78 db 85 db
2003 Toyota Tacoma 74 db 75 db 73 db 74 db
2001 GMC Yukon XL 71 db 71 db 72 db 69 db
All measurements were taken at 3 feet from the vehicles. The trucks are stock! The vehicle were at idle. Because I was limited on space 3 feet was the maximum distance I could plausibly measure due to space. I will tell you the further I got from the Rhino both in the front and the back the db's started dropping off!

| Yes, since I am not modifying the engine it would work just fine. I don't know what the sound signature is like on the 450 but if it is quieter or the same you will still get great results. The Benz silencer is a great step in reducing exhaust noise and my One Bad Rhino(OBR) Hush Kit™ will knock out a great deal of the engine noise. After installing the mod it noticed an immediate difference, but where I really noticed the difference was in the field and on the trails. I am working on an intake silencer that will help knock down the noise on that too. My Stage 1 OBR Hush Kit™ targets the engine noise and vibration dampening of the bed noise. The Stage 2 Kit will be tested in January and when I get the results I want then I will start selling it too. My goal is to be quieter than my two different vehicles you can see their noise signature on the previous post. Keep the questions coming and I will do my best to answer them. I am really excited about the results so far. I will tell you this. I hunt a lot of Wild Boar and I used to get busted at about the 80 yard range and 3 weeks ago I made it with in ten yards exited the Rhino and nailed three of the pests, roughly 150 Lbs a piece. My buddy noticed the difference right a way. I can actually talk with out yelling while riding. I will be able to post some better db reading from the field after I get back from Thanksgiving vacation. Sorry for the novel but I am fired up!! |

I should have some solid prices by the mid to the end of next week. I am waiting for final number from my suppliers. I will post more soon, but I am at Sonic driving on the way back from the ranch and I will have more db readings for you. So check back and I will post them on my too. My goal is to be below $200 not by a dollar, that’s cheesy, I think will be able to do that if the quantity sold supports it. The kit will serve more than just being a silencer it will also cut down on dust and rattles and provide some metal protection. For those of all ready emailing me I appreciate you intrest and look to help you out here in the near future.
Thanks

I know it looks like a thesis and it might be a little geeky but hang on for the ride. My focus was to reduce the Rhino’s overall noise signature, which in reality translates to its vibrations and resonation properties (Resonance: intensification and prolongation of sound produced by sympathetic vibration). Simply put, resonance is the matter of one object or force "getting in tune with" another object. Multiple sources “in tune” will generate harmonics. The surrounding matter then becomes part of the problem; it amplifies the vibration in essence turning the Rhino into a moving speaker. The volume of sound is really a result of vibration intensity and frequency combined with matter (The Rhino).
Surfaces that are good resonators do not contain dampening properties or the ability to reduce the frequency and or intensity of the vibrations and in fact some surfaces actually amplify it. With that being said, I located the biggest culprits of resonance and targeted them as places to dissipate the vibration/noise. In the Rhino case you are not able to dampen the sources resonating surface so I utilized the closest source of resonance and dampened it, thus isolating the source. The material I use captures the vibrations or sound waves before it travels too far from the source and mitigates it; essentially it dissipates it into another form of energy…heat. Now the temperature is not enough to be measurable so don’t worry it won’t increase engine or surface temperatures. Sound or vibration in its entirety cannot totally be eliminated due to frequency ranges.
The lower frequencies can be felt when next to the source and even up to some distances away. Only until you are far enough away from the source does the intensity level drop and it then becomes audible to the human ear. So can I get rid of it all? The answer is no, but I can reduce its auditory and vibration signature significantly. Thus, making your ride more pleasant and/or your hunting ventures a whole lot quieter. I hope I didn’t lose you on the background of noise/vibration, with that out of the way you should be able to better understand how my OBR Hush Kit™ works.
First, I added the Benz Silent Rider™ exhaust and noticed that the engine was now the problem. The exhaust noise had dropped significantly, but I was still producing too much ancillary noise and the source is the engine. So, I found a way to contain the noise and vibrations associated with it. I am not a big fan of rattles either so I tried to knock down as many of these sources as I could! I might have a fix for the vibrating front drive shaft, but I still have test it, that’s another post.
(Discontinued)The Rhino Mud™ is paint on vibration/ noise absorbing material that is applied to the underside of the bed. This helps reduce the sheet metal resonation of the bed and makes it more of dampener rather than an amplifier. ***You should have the bed Rhino Lined™, Line-X, or similar product.***
As for the rest of the OBR Hush Kit™ I utilized a series of panels with integrated sound/vibration absorbing material to capture the noise and absorb the vibrations in some specific locations that produced the largest amount of sound/vibrations. The material absorbs the sound/vibrations through its points of contact as well as reducing sound/vibration by reducing the reflected sound wave. The OBR Hush Kit™ works by reducing sound pressure (signal amplitude) by the spreading of the wave.
I hope I didn’t geek out on you guys too much, I just wanted to try to answer as many questions as I could, including those asked in emails. I deal with humans and sound on daily basis and helped design and develop the most advanced in-flight noise attenuation technology (passive noise reduction) being used the military today. In my quest to reduce the Rhino’s noise signature for myself, I ended up developing the OBR Hush Kit™. I guess I need a hush kit huh? Comments welcomed this is a great forum so keep it up!

I have to say you have done some nice work with your kit. good buy for me. I heard the difference right away. Since I already Rhinolined the bed the Rhino Mud was just a add on for me. You should add that option on your site I have a few bro's that would buy. I would have just ordered the main kit without the Mud. I am going to add an intake mod as you described, Have you done yours yet? I am going to mod that ASAP to finish my ride! I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks I can now cruise up to the house without my wife knowing, unless she just hasn't busted me yet. |

| I am glad you like it. I will add the option to buy it without the Rhino Mud, you weren't the only one to ask that. It will save in installation time, it will cut it down to about 30 minutes and you will be rollin. Thanks for the feedback and I will start invention the Airwolf "whisper mode" for the Rhino so you can be totally stealthy!!! Peace out and keep the comments coming. I guess I could invent an auto excuse machine to help the bro's. Anyway thanks!! |

| I am getting ready to install the 08' intake system and I will post that on my site and here for free. I will start with buy the center console for the 08' because it has more clearance then the 07'/06'. Then the tubing that runs to the front, the 08 intake should mount just fine, but there is a bracket that I will have to make to brace the new intake. I am getting ready to do this so keep checking. I will post as soon as I get it done. If all goes well with the mod then I will be closer to the silent Rhino for hunting. The stage two kits are in the works and should hopefully be done by Oct 08'. |

| Oh one last quick update I quit selling the Rhino Mud, I recommend Line-X, Rhino Linings, or whatever liner type you want. After running the db test without the Rhino Mud there was a 1 db different and sometimes no difference. It helped with the rattles but not so much for noise reduction. Thanks for the support so far!! |

| I am selling my website and Hush kit business. I have too many irons in the fire. If you are interested let me know. I can finance you if you need. It is great way to start, and if you do the work yourself you could pay for it quickly. My one thing you can't change is the link to this site. It is great forum for folks to share their projects. Anyway, I will still be selling Hush kits until I sell it. |

Alright, I have been asked this question a thousand times.
"How do I reduce the noise in a full cab enclosure and will the OBR Hush Kit do it?" The answer is unless you insulate or add a dampening material to the cab walls you will not be able to significantly reduce the noise. The Hush Kit will knock it down but not to an acceptable level. You need to relocate your intake to the front or outside the cab. Then add then dampening material to the inside. It is an expensive fix. Hope this helps and other than 3 in shag carpet from the 70's, grab a good set of earmuffs and hit the gas. The full cab enclosures will contain the noise and amplify the sound due to resonation.

Proud new owner of a Sport Edition as of last Saturday. By the time the super bowl came on, it had been washed at least 7 times Sunday. Biggest & only complaint from everyone: NOISE!
Otherwise, from my 2yo Grandson to myself, we couldn't get enough of it. I am sure U know what I mean.
Please tell me there is a good product to line the inside of the console. Not much point in a stereo when U can't even think...
