I agree. 100% worth doing.I disagree. It helps a TON. Just got mine installed yesterday and it’s day and night difference in noise.
So how can you tell if you have the housing? Do I need to pull the Frunk shell to look inside or just the top battery section?

Yes, you need to pop the plastic frunk cover off, the one around the windshield fluid refill. I must say, it is hard to put it back on. I wasn't able to snap back a few of them close to the front. Here is a picture. You will (or not) see a black foam sleeve around the orange. It's not fully wrapped, but mostly wrapped.
Even though there is some insulation, there is still quite a bit of noise coming out of it when you are outside the car, and especially in a garage, where there is more sound reflection. I will have the SC check it out and see if that noise level is normal.
Very low, Can’t barely hear it, even inside the car. Ran the A/C with out the battery cover, seem quiet to me. If I have to go to the service center for something at that point I will request it.^ how's your pump noise level Fred?

Makes sense, I keep wondering what’s this loud sound most people are hearing, anyways just waiting for this V3 Supercharger to open up here in Chula Vista, got my M3 down to 50% need to burn it down to 5% once it opens HahahahaIf it's acceptable to you, it may be something that's better off left alone. Tesla techs (and other car mechanics) unfortunately sometimes do more harm than good trying to repair something. I lost my Bolt for week at the Chevy dealership to address a simple dashboard leveling issue. After a week.. I got it back with a worse alignment than it had before being "repaired". I then complained... and they told me they would have to remove the whole dashboard to fix it. I told them absolutely not.. and took my car and left. Some things are better left alone.
Same here, I thought I already had the cover because I wasn't bothered by the noise. Found today that I didn't have the cover, must have missed it by a few days because I got mine delivered on 5/30, probably manufactured on 5/25, and I saw someone mentioning that it started being installed in early June or something. No regret, though, if I need it later I can ask Tesla to install when I have other reason to visit SC. In return, I got the same hardware (980 motor?) as the stealth Performance at RL AWD price (early model, VIN 57xx).Very low, Can’t barely hear it, even inside the car.

my estimate was actually $0 when they sent that to me, but yeah, they should waive it when it's doneJust received an email that the acoustic cover was ordered by the service center. Also received an estimate of $127 to install it. I approved assuming that charge will be waived. Now just two more weeks until my actual appointment.
Mine was the same way, it was embarrassingly loud.Just dropped off my car at the SC. The advisor said:
“just because your car doesn’t have an acoustic cover, it doesn’t mean it qualifies for one, so we will have to check the noise level”
sounds like a bunch of BS. If they don’t install that cover, I’ll be pissed because mine is noticeable loud
LoL, my rear hatch was scrapping the metal and had to have touchup work done, a day after, hatch misaligned again and now has one side scraping on the sides and won't open correctly. That first bit took 3 weeks, now had to wait 3 weeks for another appointment to see how long it'll take.Good news... got my ac acoustic retrofit installed.... bad news sc royally messed up rear hatch (while trying to fix a tail light misalignment) and now there’s a massive gap between the top and rear glass plus its completely misaligned. Tesla employee who helped me out admitted “yea that’s a big gap...” and said book another appt to have the sc team fix it.... I knew I shouldn’t have asked them to adjust the tail light....
