Home Depot sells (or at least used to) a "water heater blanket" that
consists of synthetic felt with a metal foil backing.  It works quite well
at damping both noise and heat, IMO, and seems to hold up well.  ISTR paying
about $25 for a roll that would probably do two cars.  It's frequently seen
at auto swap meets, too.
