Could this be used for a unfinished ceiling between the joists? I have an issue with sound transmission from the basement to the floors above.

Yes, but the sound will not be reduced by 6 mm of cork as much as 1 or 2 " acoustic tile or foam. rolled cork is a form of press board and unless sealed will come apart in time. I used the cork as underlayment for a model train lay out and it worked fine at reducing mechanical noise. It was glued to a plywood table top and sealed with marine varathane.

I would assume so. I used this in my old basement that had issues with water during heavy rains. Water would come through the foundation. I used this with their seam tape and the basement was dry as a bone. We went to sell and an inspector said that we had high moisture readings up to 12" high. Needless to say, we did get the basement professionally waterproofed to sell the house. I can tell you this stuff works and works very well. Hope this helps

Yes you can. I have it from the ceiling in my house and it works perfectly fine.

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. Mine works fine in the basement or any other room in my house. My main use is in my workshop which is over 100 feet from my house and I've never had a problem talking or recieving.

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.

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.

I tried mine with speaker in basement and transmitter upstairs with no problems. It will depend on wall construction.

This is not the correct solution for that type of problem. If you are trying to soundproof one existing wall then there are many other solutions sandwiching drywall or using mountable sound reduction panels. If you are considering making a sort of open box or actual standing partition to help with some small noise reduction, then something like foam insulation boards (google generator hush box) would be much more practical.

Some speakers come with hardware that secures the frame to the ceiling. Unfortunately, that wasn't true in my case, so I used Liquid nails (applied all around the edges) to glue the speaker backing to the ceiling. It has worked fine.

I'm sure you could as long as it was secured sufficiently as not to allow movement and consequential cracking of the primer&paint.;I think you might want to also look at Z-channel and another layer of drywall with sound proofing insulation in between.I guess it depends if this is permanent,(ie. your house/condo) as opposed to an apartment.Here is a good website that I learned from....http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/how-tosKevin

That's the exact application that I used these speakers for - installed in the ceiling of my basement family room as rear speakers for my surround sound system. That's right below my living room upstairs and all I did was put 2 inch fiberglass insulation above the speaker when I mounted them in the ceiling. Not any issues with bleed over in my living room upstairs. The nice thing about these speakers is that the dome tweeter is moveable so you can move it and point it where you need to.

I agree with David A. Senechal. Your best bet is to use drywall tape, assuming your ceiling is of drywall construction.

I think you would need a flat ceiling or maybe you could shim it. I would check on the refund policy and see if you could make it work. Its worth it for the price.

As long as it is anchored to ceiling beams, you shouldn't have any problem using it in any room. My garage is sheet rocked, so it's just like any other room in the house. Hope that's helpful.

Yes, if you are sealing small openings, cracks or spaces where pipes/electical lines go into the house. I would not try to use it to fill a large open space, like between floor joists. it doesn't go along way in large areas.

I used it in my unfinished basement. It seemed to work really well and no apparent mess.

It would work amazing, one will be plenty ! These subs hit very hard, you will be more than fine with this for music only in a basement !
