When the hatches and walls are well isolated, no noise leaks, heavy insulated decking and floors, it is generally only a matter of insulating the walls and ceiling of the engine room, or engine cover or hatch.

Try to apply the thickest product possible, thick product absorb low frequencies from the engine best.
