Quiet steel consists of two sheets of high grade maleable carbon steel with a sheet of polymer laminate "laminated in between".
The result is virtually resonance free steel. Somewhat sound absorbing even.
I have samples here that are credit card sized. The steel sample when thrown on the table sounds like a plastic credit card. It's amazing.
Ford started using the material in valve covers to reduce emission of valvetrain noise, and they've added it to some parts of their trucks and cars now. The newest F150/F250 is amazingly quiet!
