TroyStudio Vocal Dampener, Food-Grade Soft Silicone Voice Silencer for Singing Practice, Warm-up, Up to 32dB Noise Reduction, Odorless Stress Relief Scream Jar Shouting Vase, Soundproof Mask

As a professional opera singer who travels extensively—especially during the demanding audition season—I’m always on the lookout for tools that help me maintain my vocal health and technique wherever I go. The TroyStudio Vocal Dampener has been an absolute game-changer for me. Traveling between hotels, Airbnbs, and various performance venues means I often have to warm up in less-than-ideal spaces—thin walls, neighbors nearby, and limited privacy. This vocal dampener lets me practice and warm up my voice quietly and discreetly, without disturbing anyone or feeling self-conscious. The silicone material is soft and comfortable, and it fits well over the mouth, significantly reducing sound leakage while still allowing me to engage fully with my breath and vocal cords. More than just a sound silencer, it’s also become an invaluable tool for breath technique training. Because it restricts airflow just enough, it encourages me to control my breath support more efficiently, helping me build strength and stamina even when I can’t sing at full volume. This is critical during busy seasons when I have multiple auditions and rehearsals packed closely together. I’ve also used it as a stress relief tool when I need to let out some frustration quietly—without alarming hotel staff or family members! The design is odorless, portable, and easy to clean, making it perfect for tossing into my carry-on or rehearsal bag. Overall, the TroyStudio Vocal Dampener is not just a “nice to have” but an essential part of my vocal routine now. If you’re a singer—whether professional or hobbyist—or anyone who needs to practice vocalization or breathing exercises in a quiet environment, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It combines quality, functionality, and portability in a way that truly supports vocal health on the go.

My partner and I are both musicians. We do both clean and harsh vocals (for the uninitiated that basically means "regular singing" and "metal screams"), and we are trying to figure out an option for practice space outside the home. In the meantime, we still gotta practice! My partner in particular is LOUD and reaches these insane soaring high notes that last forever... much to the chagrin of our neighbors, as I'm sure you can imagine. It was only a matter of time before we got a noise complaint, and we wanted to avoid that. DIY soundproofing wasn't cutting it, especially when the options we've found so far were neither cheap nor tenant-friendly. I found this product and was skeptical, but willing to try it. The great news is, we can practice at home without holding back or worrying now! We live in a 70+ y/o home with original windows, so if my partner is singing, it's loud from outside too. But if they belt into the "scream tube" and I step outside, I can still hear it, but quiet and muffled. Our street gets noisy enough to where it may even get lost completely among the sounds of idling trucks and kids at play. The sound reduction is really incredible. I'm guessing for people who live in more modern, soundproofed buildings, this could go even further. There's not much to it really. Just make sure it's sealed against your face, and wash that part so it doesn't get gross. It doesn't absorb 100% of sound obviously... there's a chance your neighbors or housemates will still hear you... but the reduction is truly significant. It's an indispensable tool if you're a singer stuck in a shared home or apartment building but don't have anywhere else to practice. I also really get a kick out of the concept of a "scream tube." Even the phrase is funny. But hey, it works!

This is a great tool for singers although you must be aware that you may not be able to fully engage your jaw. As long as you know this you can use this devise to silence your belting and bring peace back to the house. it is very good material and easy for portability.

As a mom, this has saved my ears. My daughter has a beautiful voice but she’s got projection! Works great!

This device is a amazing! You know when your singing or trying to hit them high notes or certain notes and your throat hurts or mouth feels dry. This mouth gadget fix it all! This is a very good product for practice and vocal warm ups. It does smell weird when you get it and look at the picture of how they use it. Im talking about i can sing anything now! you're not suppose to record yourself while using this product. (I mean you can but you'll sound muffled.) It's good for vocal warm ups. Easy to set up and thick product. Ehhh the price is okay.

I searched for "scream stick" because I wanted the ability to SCREAM without scaring the neighbors, and this came up. Thing is, by the time you: open the bag, take it out of the bag, and assemble the pieces- you're no longer in the mood to scream. Also- IT SMELLS UNPLEASANT. For something that you are putting up on your face, a BAD SMELL is not a good idea.

I think this is a good product in that it does what it says it does, but there are just some fundamental flaws to using it. One is that it obviously doesn't dampen nasal resonance, which, if you're singing correctly, is still pretty loud. If you try to put it over your nose you can't breathe, so that's off the table. It's useful if I just need a lot of repetition on a song and I'm not trying to work technique, but otherwise it's kind of restrictive. You can hear yourself, but not to the extent you need to truly know what you most need to work on.

Provides a semi-occluded (some backpressure or air resistance against vocal cords due to the tube chambering) vocal warmup tool that allows most of the feeling and sensation of full voice singing with less sound bothering the neighbors. I use this frequently to get 90% of my pre-show warmups done, or even some rehearsing on off days, when I can't get to a discrete place to sing at full voice (back stage, outside a venue on the street, in a hotel room, in an office building, etc.). This provides me with MOST of what I need to be stage ready, though I recommend trying to do at least 5 for minutes of warming up with no resistance, to get your voice ready for open air. I haven't measured the decibel reduction, but mostly it mutes the high end, so even if people can hear me they hear "Mum wum uh mum" rather than full screaming loud cutting vocal--I'm guessing it cuts my 98 decibel loud singing to 82 decibel woofy sounding singing with no clarity of the lyrics. The rubber part separates easily from the plastic, which is good so it doesn't break in my luggage, and is easy to wash the rubber part that contacts my face (and collects vapor from my exhalation). This is a life saver for me when I'm going to sing and can't find a safe area to warm up, especially as I sing loud music in a genre where it wouldn't be cool for the audience to hear me singing show tunes or Christmas carols in public. It does look a bit weird, so pedestrians seeing me do this on the street outside of venues give me weird looks... but that's way better than my customers inside the venue hearing me warm up!

Ich finde, dass der Troyer ganz gut dämpft. Ich wohne zwischen 2 Wohnungen mit dünnen Wänden und traue mich ejtzt wieder eher zu singen.

El producto si baja los decibeles indicados en las imágenes, me gusta que mantiene la humedad y eso favorece las cuerdas vocales, hay menos resequedad, pensé que sería incomodo practicar con el puesto, pero es muy cómodo, los vecinos dicen que no me escuchan. Si esperas que te silencie al 100% eso no ocurrirá, hay que verificar la iformación del producto, los comentarios negativos se me hace injustificados.

Great product, works as it should, my daughter is a performing arts student and uses this in her residence.

Easy to use and good value for money. Bought for eldest granddaughter who is a singer so she can practice and belt them out at home. We knew it worked when he crazy 5 year old sister was shouting into it and it really dialled her volume down 😂

Excelente!
