Abstract
A baffle is provided that includes at least one carrier and a sealer disposed in a recess. When placed in a cavity, such as a vehicle cavity, sealer also expands into the cavity to seal the cavity. Baffle can be modified by including an insert within carrier to increase the weight, density, and structural rigidity of baffle, without altering the exterior dimensions of baffle. A baffle that includes an insert can be customized based on a particular application, without requiring time-consuming and expensive tooling changes.
