Questions & Answers

Soundproofing

If I mount this on a hollow core door, will it reduce the sound coming through the door?
Asked by: HelloDog
Yes it does! I rent rooms and put this on the backs of all our hollow core bedroom doors and painted it to match the doors. It does a great job and everyone loves using it as a pinboard too. Easy fast super cost-savvy way to handle your hollow core doors (esp compared to buying and installing solid-core doors at $70 + cost of hardware then labor to drill out & install...you can do this in less than an hour at a cost of about $14/door, including the screws).

sound deadening

Can this product be used in a cieling under roll insulation between rafters to help deaden sound in rooms with high cielings and a very open floor plan?
Asked by: dav65
Yes. I don't believe its designed to be exposed for aesthetic reasons. Usually, you install this under drywall for sound absorption. If the wall or ceiling is sealed properly, this would help with sound deadening. It will absorb mid to high frequencies fairly well, and do nothing for low frequencies, (Bass) which you need mass to absorb. A sheet of drywall blocks more sound than a sheet of paper, 2 sheets of drywall block even more, etc. Not sure of the STC rating, but every little bit helps.

Sound Choice 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. R-1.32 Insulation Sheathing Board is rated 3.7 out of 5 by 10.

Had to overlay it with an additional layer of 1/4” sheet-rock. As far as sound deadening, it’s great though! A nice muffled noise from the inside of the bedroom we completed. Our homeowner works nights.

Our wall we share is extremely thin to the point we can hear our neighbors conversations in our apartment. I decided to make a large canvas and attach this sound deadening board to the back to help with the noise. It was easy to work with, just be sure to wear gloves since its really easy to get splinters from. Also it is very hard to transport without damaging it since it is so soft. As for the noise it helped slightly. It definitely muffled the voices but it did not lower the noise level. I understand i am not using this board for its intended purpose (built within the wall) so i wasn't expecting magic. Overall this was a suffice product for what i was using it for. I would recommend using foam on top of the board for added deadening.

For sound board you would think that they would be square and pretty close to the same width. Not in this case. Some of them are 3/4" out of square and up to 1/4" wider (or narrower as the case may be). You either have to trim most of them or get acoustical caulk and caulk all joints before you tape them. I would recommend them only because they are the only thing to get around here. Plan on taking almost twice the amount of time to install these as you originally plan on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for a quieter furnace I purchased this product to apply in the surrounding area and door of my a/c furnace closet. The material cuts very easy with a box cutter. I used drywall screws and washers to mount it and it cut down the noise DRAMATICALLY! I am not sure of the insulating qualities but sound deadening is great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for protecting the wall behind dartboard I needed something to protect the wall behind my dartboard and this works great. Not for this application but oh well it works.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Getting the best out of this product. First, be clear if you want to absorb sound as to reduce echoes, or prevent sound from travelling from one zone to another. I recommend it more for the former use. You can get even better results if you space it off the wall or ceiling by about one inch, in effect leaving a clear space between wall and panel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good solution for my NOISY Neighbor I moved into our condo a month ago & we couldn't believe how much noise we could hear from the neighboring unit. We looked around for something to stop the sound & found this at the local Depot. when we called their tech desk, they were very helpful. It took me and a friend better part of a whole day to fix what the builder wouldn't. if you are hearing noise from your neighbor's TV, buy this stuff, it works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can you hear me now? Dramatically deduced the notice from furnace and wash are to nearby bedroom, for around 20 dollars.
