Yep, I think your right. Wood will dampen some sound and temps. I think I went overkill on the insulation part but at the time I didnt know for sure - and since I already had this area exposed I thought Im going to fill it. Once I take a trip I can verify my findings.

If I was handy with cabinet making I would rig up some sort of trap door to drop down for more storage or a hiding spot. Might still do that down the road - im willing to learn. Thanks for the reply.
