Can anyone give me some feedback on the best weight to buy? eBay Jute

This eBay store has several weights. This one is the heaviest at 40 lbs. My car still had this stuff in it. My guess is it is 20 or 10 lb stuff. I am using the b-quiet ultimate 1st. Figured I'd add this stuff too.

I figure it will add some insulation, sound dampening and soften the carpet. Pretty cheap too.

Thoughts?

At half an inch it’s kind of thick. I could see it helping to keep heat and cold from transmitting through the floor boards. I’m just not sure that it’ll make much difference as far as sound. As you drive along, there isn’t much noise generated under the car, the noise is coming from the engine behind the firewall.
