Default Tips for removing factory sound deadening material?

Have been wanting to remove old carpet for awhile and I got to looking at it and noticed that it was damp in corners. I pulled it out and checked but had no rust. I want to remove the glued sound deadening pieces and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for this. I spent a few minutes with a putty knife seeing what would come up and a few pieces are worn enough to break up but it's not easy. Ive seen this done with a putty knife and a blow torch but I would very much like to stay away from a potential fire hazard. I'm thinking about something similar to an indistrial strength goof-off...

Oh yes... forgot about the heat gun! havnt used it in so long. If anyone has any other ideas I'd be glad to hear them. It gets louder for sure but if it is too loud you can always buy nice new hush mat.

You can get that freeze stuff and spray it on...then it chips right off.
