I have the material like is linked to by Home Skillet but I see that many of the newer bus conversions are using this kind of material.

I have seen "egg crate foam" like that before, in fact my RV came with it over the mattress (previous owner) as a mattress pad. But I would be leery of putting this in an area exposed to the elements and water spray like the genset compartment is. This is open-cell foam and will soak up and retain water easily.
Everybody and his uncle is producing so-called "acoustic foam" but if you're serious about doing this correctly keep in mind you only get what you pay for. ;) Surely you don't expect "egg crate foam" like that used as a mattress pad is going to have any meaningful impact at all when used as a noise barrier. :R
