Does the foam really make the boat more quiet?

[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 297571, member: 7544"] Sound waves will travel through the air much better than through the foam. If you have the cavity completely filled with foam, the foam will be supporting the floor as well so the floor won't flex as much. Less flex = less popping/creaking. Plus, when you drop something the foam will help prevent the sound of it hitting the floor from transmitting through to the bottom of the boat. Dead air space is a good temp insulator not a sound insulator. Look at a drum with it's dead air space. [/QUOTE]
