I used super sound proofing (3/8 I think) from Aircraft Spruce. There is an article
floating around discusing sound
proofing of aircraft. Some say its great, some say that they don't notice difference.
With 'problems getting enough heat' a
constant and recurring thread on the list, I decided to go ahead anyway.
Aircraft Spruce has a section on sound proofing aircraft products.

Anyone using any insulation under the 830/831 floor before riveting the
thing down? If so, what type?
Thanks

I think better airflow through the cabin is the answer. This can be done
by putting a slight suction in the tail cone. A couple of small half
round shapes laminated to the belly skin with holes drilled on the aft
side will provide a little negative pressure and also act as a drain. I
did this on my 9A and it worked well.

In cold weather the last thing you want is non heated airflow through the
cabin. The coldest I have flown is 12F, the drafts were very annoying. Oh,
and trust me, you dont really notice the drafts until it gets cold out,
then you wonder were all that air is coming from. Giving the air an "out"
will make for even more drafts. Sealing up the openings in and around the
cockpit to keep the air out is were I put my money.

My plan for addl heat is to use the $80 seat heaters on front and rear. Not sure
if DJ, Becky or Aeroclassics would make it fit while sewing, but its an easy
install either way.
My plan for sound is the best ANR I can get. Trying to make an RV quiet enough
to fly without headphones is impossible, and if you have to put them on, then
reducing the noise is best left to ANR.

I agree completely, you want "heated" air flowing through the cabin. If
the cabin area is completely sealed, the warm air can not enter and
circulate easily. My point is, seal all openings where cold air can
enter, but give the static air inside the cabin a place to go, like out
the tail
