Hi guys was wondering whether you guys have any recommendations for installers soundproofing with Dynamat or a similar material - I live in Melbourne. Thanks in advance!

That's… not what OP's asking about is it? Most normal sound from outside would go through the windows. It's only road-noise and unwanted speaker noise (rattles, etc?) that'd be dampened by things like dynamat right?
Interesting topic. Let's see what sort of a reason there is.

From Dynamat's website:
Use Dynamat on the interior sheet metal of your vehicle to stop vibration and reduce road noise. Add a Dynamat brand thermoacoustic liner- such as Dynaliner, DynaPad, or DynaDeck to fight heat and low frequency hums from big engines and exhaust systems
(didn't neg you btw).
@HighAndDry: A neg never hurt me. Must have been a dynaliner employee, or someone who has soundproofed a car
I think OP wants to soundproof the boot for those late night drives looking for hitchhikers.
Alot of 4wd owners use this on Landcruiser 70's as they dont come with sound deadening and you cop the full grunt of road, engine, transmission noise etc. very common.
Why on earth would you want to hear more road noise? Unless you are putting dynamat over all your windows I think you'll be fine.
Sorry can't help you with who to do the job op, have always just done it myself.
Could you describe what you have used for soudnproofing please? And what kind of results were achieved? Thanks.
Dynamat. Lined the doors, boot skin etc. No rattles with stereo, better sound, less road noise.
I like my car stereo and I liked the version Jaycar sell, or get the proper stuff off ebay with site wide sale. Made the best difference in doors and boot.
So you can't hear anyone outside the car, telling you you left your phone on the roof, or that you've just run over the family pet?
From a safety perspective, I wouldn't recommend soundproofing the inside of your car.
Look after your ears, especially if you love music.
