Default Silly question about sound deadening...

My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts because every peice of the interior trim of my tC is in my living room. I'm half way done with an "all out" sound deadening project I started up. I'm using RAAMmat. The interior is shiny with foil and it actually hurts to look at with the sun's reflection. My girlfriend was joking and saying that at least "the aliens won't be able to read your mind" while in my tC. But then that got me thinking about the real-world and the possible effect this stuff might have...

Will the sound deadening effect my....
....cell phone reception?
....radio reception?
....bluetooth connection?
....ability to park in the vicinity of an open wireless network?

My guess is no, but I thought I'd ask just to make sure.

IMO I dont think it'll have any effect on reception. Most cell phone waves would be come from terrestrial towers, so the waves would just come in through your windows and just reflect in side your car no more than if it was just all stock.

You car is made out of metal anyways. No matter if it's steel, aluminum, gold, titanium haha

I think you'll be fine
