I know the later 2022 models no longer come with the under hood sound insulation mat. Has anyone bought one and installed it themselves? I've found the part through dealer part stores but I can't tell if it comes with the clips preinstalled or if they have to be purchased separately? Do you think it's worth adding it back to add some noise insulation?

Ping, wish to know too
According to the parts list, the clip is purchased separately

From what I've been able to tell it sounds like a cost cutting measure by Volvo. Kinda sucky given the price of them. And for the people out there that say they don't do anything, on Volvo's own part sites it's called a sound insulation/absorber pad. So it obviously makes the engine sound somewhat quieter.
Why does Volvo deliver the XC60 without a Luggage compartment cover
Why did Volvo cancel some options on the new MY2021-2023 that were standard on the MY2018-2020 - SAVINGS

Volvo is not the only brand doing that. I had a 3 series and bmw deleted that mat halfway through the model run. I saw the same kind of angry threads an bimmerpost.
Having driven xc60s with and without that part, I'm willing to go out on a limb and predict that nobody will begin to notice a difference.
Decontenting is annoying though.
