I have an irritating pipe in my wall that is always rattling. Can these be used on my wall for the purpose of effectively blocking that kind of sound?

Could possibly work. I think if you talked to a plumber about that it would be better. These are for music sound control and get covered by a cloth cover . Then they are hung on the wall or ceiling for sound control.

It might work if you are ok with adding about 2.5 inches to the thickness of the wall by covering the whole thing with a layer of panels and then wallboard and paint. Probably better to cut into the wall and secure the pipe.

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!

They would help with vibration-but sound I think not. Look for another dwelling is your best bet.

Hey Theresa. These won't do anything to reduce noise. I'd advise you look for something else.

Really the only way it would help in another room would be for it to be in that room. I'm sure it will help some but you would be tring to damper sound that is already bleeding into your space. It works best by receiving soun waves and stopping them. A cheaper method would be to hang stryofoam panels on your wall. you can get them at Lowe's.

I feel these are only good to keep very loud sounds out. They do not block voice etc, but keep sounds like machinery out.

I use them in a wall unit that is enclosed. They are however a couple of inches away from the walls of the enclosure. They seem it be very forgiving to the needs of the user and less then perfect acoustical choices (a marriage dictates my speaker placement, heehee).

Hi Chad. Yes. I'd put them on opposing walls and on as many surfaces as I can. The idea behind this foam isn't sound attenuation its sound treatment. You want to reduce or eliminate as much sound wave bounce or natural echo as you can. I hope that was helpful. Good luck on your build.

They will help reduce the mid-to-higher frequencies from going through the walls but you will need bass traps for the lower and more problematic frequencies. Bass traps are easy to make. See how-to on YouTube.

While they are not 100% leak proof. I would say they block roughly 90% of the sound to the people around you.

I'm not so sure about containing sound. It breaks up a room well, but I don't think it would be what you might consider an incredible sound barrier.

Hi, in my experience, this is very basic sound proofing. So can't expect too much. But if you stick them all over the room including ceiling, and rug on floor, it dose help reduce the volume.

They do not really quiet down the pipes that much at all, if the noise is a concern u should get different pipes all together

If you insultated the walls and use these it will result in a sound reduction.

No! Require too much power and are "semi-open" meaning they will leak sound to those around you.

these speakers are specifically designed for wall installation. speakers for ceiling are different by design and installation. therefore, i do not suggest

You can use screws/nails in the wall, then slide the speaker holes over the screw/nail. Make sure whatever you use is not bigger than the opening of the hole. I have my speakers on the wall, and they stay tight and have never come loose.

Hi HunterI use these because of my loud neighbors. I found that they block hi pitched noises very well, but unfortunately noises like bass playing I can still hear. They sell earplugs just like these [maybe different brand] at any pharmacy, you should pick up a small pack to check them out.hope this helps
