Will this help silence the sound coming through the upstairs floor?

While I have not applied this to a first floor ceiling, I have experienced a noticeable reduction of sound transfer through the walls when applied there. I would expect some reduction of upstairs noise, but it would also depend on how much sound and vibration is being transferred through the studs. I used this primarily for thermal insulation and got noise reduction as a plus. Hope this helps.

Yes it will help- it is meant for temp insulation, but it also helps with sound to a lesser degree.

Yes. I have two of them hanging on a front door, and I hear it loud as anything when upstairs.... so one within a one floor unit should definitely be loud enough.

Hi, it should take care of most sound and vibration on the main floor but if it's an upper level floor, it probably will not completely get rid of it. Hope this helps!

Yes, it'll work very well to dampen the sound, but it won't actually "soundproof" it. You'll need to get that black "soundproofing" stuff to hang between the insulation and drywall.

No. You would need a soundproofing solution. This product is for sound absorption.

It isn't the quietest device but I'd think you'd be fine if the door was closed. You could consider a low playing radio in the background to mask it more.

The foam sheet is not that thick for your purpose. I would think you would be better to lay a thick carpet padding and a wall-to-wall carpet over the entire floor in the room you wish to decrease the noise from below.

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.

I live on the Third floor Apt and yes it does reduce some of the noise from my jumping around on it. However, if you have hardwood floors like I do that squeak than position mat on less squeaky section of the floor and you should be okay.

I assume you mean a through wall or window unit. Yes it should absorb sound however you have louver where the air blows into the room which will allow the units noise to transfer into the room. You aren't going to make the unit whisper quiet but it might bring some of the noise floor down. Certainly cheap enough to give it a shot.

You can move the Sound Slider to the "closed" position to block outside noise. Doing this will effectively reduce most outside noise.

It does help block out a modest amount of noise, but it is not a solution for large noise issues. I hope this helps.

I have mine in the basement. I can hear it from the top of the basement stairs but do not hear it in the living room above the basement. There shouldn't be any problem with adjacent apartments.

No, but the signal can get interfered with depending on the object. It might cut out a bit. For best sound try not to be in different rooms

It may mask some of the noise if run on the high setting, but I don't think it will drown out the sounds.

The machine itself is quiet overall. I use it on the 2nd level of my home and the living room is directly below me so I use a mat underneath and it absorbs most of the noise. Ocassionally my kids say they hear it but don't when the TV is on loud enough. I'd suggest placing a treadmill mat underneath if you live in an older apartment. The machine has a small footprint so it can be used in a number of places but may need 2 people to move it around or get it upstairs so hopefully you have an elevator. Good Luck!

I dont think it will help with noise - I still run an air purifier to distract them while I am gone - also if you put on painted surface it will take of the paint if pulled away.
