Best hood insulation for sound?

Looking for a good hood insulation product to sound reasons. I don't have any heat issues with the hood area. It could be a universal product if there is an effective way to affix it without glue. I see LMC has a kit but couldn't find a review on its effectiveness and installation. Don't want to glue to the sheetmetal so I can avoid rust popping up.

I considered lizard skin but I don't have a way to spray. If I could texture roll it on that would be a good product for my case but I think it has to be sprayed.

You can roll any sprayable product as long as the prep is the same. I would look into it.

Maybe use one of those Duplicolor bed coating rollers.

Lizard skin says its not ideal to roll their product because some of the critical solids will stick to the roller. I believe these solids help with the sound dampening. However, I am with you and think I can get it good enough with a roller. Looking for a really thick and heavy coating so maybe I'll roller 3-4 times.
