I would like to block conversation noises across the wall in my office. Would this be a suitable material to be used under a 2nd layer of drywall?

I used this in the car to block road noise and it did a good job. I would say it will help out quite a bit in an office environment too.

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.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

i would think they'd do the trick for you. they don't block out everything, but definitely take the "hard edges" off sound. i work in a very noisy office, and since using these, nobody is in danger of getting smacked anymore <grin>

This is meant for using under laminate flooring. I don't think it would work on walls

This material probably isn't too good for this application. We used it to seal gaps between floor and wall of our building. There was a lingering odor that took months to dissipate.

These are more sound "dampeners" than they are sound "proofers." I am using them in a small conference room to eliminate echoes on the speaker phone and they work well. They will of course absorb some of the sound coming through your wall, but probably not the amount you hope. You probably need something solid.

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.

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.

It will help. You'd need some serious insulation to block all noise. I'd call this a noise reducer.. You would need a LOT of this to block all noise, not to mention it would have to cover every wall.

I think this material is used more as a bass trap and diffuser than sound proofing. It probably doesn't work any better than regular insulation for that job. There are sound blocking materials out there that work very well.

Definitely not if they are behind a wall. Even if it is thin. There is plenty of sound leakage, but if they are not in the same room I cannot imagine they would be able to hear it.

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.

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!

With this underlay it should be very quiet compared to just using felt paper. It will greatly minimize sound transmission .

Hi, If you are talking about horizontal "blocking" with sections of 2x4 to stabilize vertical stud members, we would recommend 2 ft above and below the speaker. This would give the speaker enough air space. Any standard fiberglass insulation would be good for fill.

Basically I bought this panel for an unused door between my living area and my tenant's bedroom. It workers great on blocking the noise and I use many screws to close the gap between the panel and the wall. I never open the door again since I put the panel on. So I guess if you want to get the best result on blocking the noise better to screw the edge on the wall, because any gap would cause the noise come in. But if you need to open the window or door to get air and light I think this panel will be kind of heavy to move around like those curtains.

It's quickly delivered to me. .For my case, we planned to put it on the window to block noise outside from AC units, but it is kind of difficult because it is heavy, also tiny fiber inside seems easily leek out, which is dangerour to my kids. So my conclusion is that it is best for blocking noise in garage or other non-living places.
