A vehicle acoustic system is attachable over a vehicle interior sheet metal component. The system includes a bubble pack which has a first film layer and a second film layer secured to the first film layer, wherein the first and second film layers cooperate to form a plurality of pockets therebetween. The pockets include a gas disposed therein, such that the pockets are at least partially compressible. The bubble pack is adapted to be positioned in direct contact with the sheet metal component. The gas disposed in the pockets could be air or any other lightweight gas. A plurality of kinetic energy dissipating granules may be disposed within the pockets for enhanced noise isolation. Alternatively, damping liquids or gels may be disposed in the pockets. Various embodiments are described.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A vehicle acoustical system for attachment over a vehicle interior sheet metal component, comprising:a carpet layer;a sound barrier layer secured to the carpet layer; anda bubble pack comprising a first film layer and a second film layer secured to the first film layer, said first and second film layers cooperating to form a plurality of pockets therebetween, said pockets comprising a gas disposed therein such that the pockets are substantially compressible, said pockets including not more than approximately 25% by volume kinetic energy dissipating granules so that the granules only partially fill the pockets to maintain said compressibility to allow decoupling of the sound barrier layer from the sheet metal for improved isolation of noise, and wherein said bubble pack is adapted to be positioned in direct contact with the sheet metal component.
