Question 1

I live in an apartment and have a noisy neighbor, mostly kitchen banging sounds and walking. Will this help dampen the sounds?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Would these be effective in keeping the sound from a gym studio from travelling to a business next door?

Accepted Answer

it dampens the sounds to a muffle but doesn't stop it entirely. I find that most of the sound "leakage" occurs around the gap in the doors. Make sure those are sealed.

Question 3

I have a noisy chicken and live in a residential community. Would this work to sound-proof a chicken coop?

Accepted Answer

Pretty sure it would not. These are for acoustics and getting rid of bouncing sound waves in a confined space. A concrete bunker is the only way to keep chicken clucking from bugging the neighborhood.

Question 4

I plan to build a 3'x3'x3' sound booth in my office for voice over work. I'm designing it to sit on my desk. Is this good for the project?

Accepted Answer

We built a sound booth...8'x5'x5' and they worked very well.
