Can you apply this to the door frame-to help prevent noise from other rooms in the house? (Not the door jam)

Yes, it can be applied to a door frame. I can't vouch for it's noise cancellation effects (though I'm sure there would be some level of noise reduction if there was a large gap), but it should help to keep the room insulated at least.

The product is a thin, light weight foam strip with adhesive on one side. I used it to seal air gaps around the window discharge hose for a portable A/C unit in a bedroom. In my opinion there is not enough mass in the foam to effectively limit sound transmission. Of course, anything would block some sound, but I feel 100% certain that this would not be effective for what you are trying to do.

Yes, I believe this Marpac would help. It may not completely eliminate noisy neighbor sounds, but when placed properly within the room it will definitely help.

I use it as a makeshift door for my room above the garage. I can hardly hear any noise at all coming from downstairs. If you tacked them on the wall adjacent to a noisy neighbor it would for sure cut down on the sound.

It won't eliminate all the noise, but it should help decrease it to the point it's able to be ignored. It turns the shrill metallic ear piercing noise my table saw makes into a dull tolerable drone. So a party thru a wall should be no problem.

No. Basically, you're experiencing the sucky part of apartment living. This is for sound absorption, not soundproofing. Soundproofing is typically done by installing mineral wool or other soundproofing materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings during construction of a unit. Acoustic foam only absorbs and displaces sound waves emanating in a room (e.g. they make an "echoey" room less "echoey"). Sound Proofing = stopping of sound waves, as in moving from room to room like your noisy neighbor. Sound Absorption = absorbs extra sound waves in a particular space. Trust me, there is nothing you can buy on the internet that will fix your noisy neighbor problem. A better solution would be to ask said neighbor to observe more respectable noise levels appropriate for apartment living.

It may help, but this could be fun removing someday and would be quite expensive to do the whole area. I use 3m adhesive to apply this inside speaker cabinets. They also make a 2 inch thick soft foam like for recording studios that are 24x24 and are nice and flat for applying to walls and ceilings.

It's worth a try. I covered my living room wall with this to dampen neighbor's noise. It dampens the noise from outside by maybe 20-30 percent.

I wouldn't expect it to be effective in reducing noise -- it's a very thin piece of plastic (maybe 3x as thick as Saran wrap)that sticks on the window.

It should reduce it but be aware that each panel weighs about 10 lbs. It also depends on a lot of factors. All around dampening or noise reducing products only reduce noise. Blocking all noise and completely soundproofing is best handled by pros and expensive (think recording studios). It also depends on your window and walls. Insulation in the walls or thicker sheetrock reduces noise. Properly sealing Windows does too. I put a panel on two windows closet to an annoying and loud dog behind our house. It sounds better but not as much as I would have liked for the cost. Found out later that these walls are not insulated.

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

It will diminish any noise to some degree, but if it's coming from outside, putting it in the window will block some of it. These work best to keep sound from bouncing off walls.

Yes , I would put some wood glue in between the wood where the noise is and then shoot 2 inch nails in it , that will stop all noise after glue dries

It doesn't, and it's not supposed to. If you are at home, or in a situation where room noise is an issue, this serves to help dampen some of that noise. It's not a 100% full proof solution, but it's definitely a help. However, nothing will ever compete with an acoustically treated room.

These panels absorb echo, not noise necessarily. Hanging them on the wall to try blocking rattling pipes may muffle the noise a little but not that much. Any padding you give the pipes INSIDE the wall (standard insulation or the foam thermal insulating tubes) would work best for eliminating a rattle - a much better fix and drywall isn't that hard to patch. Good luck!

Hello, You would need to insulate space between floors. That could be a major renovation. Normal insulation(fiberglass) would help a lot, but noise dampening type would be better. Either way it could be a major cost.

Yes absolutely, just remember it's quite heavy and you want as solid of a barrier as possible. Every little cut, hole, etc will allow more noise through.
