This may sound silly but I am trying to soundproof a room for a new work at home office job. Could I use these on my walls to prevent noise coming in

It would depend on the noise level.See what others say and then make your decision. Good luck!

They're not very thick, so honestly I doubt it would be very effective. Cool idea, though. You just probably want thicker ones.

They may help a bit with vibration (but just a bit) but are not likely to help with the noise. Good luck

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.

Depends on how you mount it or attach it to the wall, I would think. Google sound dampening for walls, but this stuff might help. I did not use it for that purpose. Good Luck! R.

I have used them successfully to block off noise from heavy stompers living above me but they have carpets. I would think it would work because it also takes the edge off of street noise since my room faces the street which has a streetcar going by frequently. Sometimes they almost block too much noise because I can't hear my clock radio's music turn on so I pull them out of my ears slightly. They bring me peace and I can finally sleep soundly!

There are multiple ways for a permanent way you can use sound proof glue directly to the wall for non permanent ways you can glue them onto a plywood sheet or use t pins to tack them to the walls

You probably could, however the sides of the speakers are curved and would require support/or bracelet so that the speakers lay flat. These speakers sound best when they are positioned 3 feet or so from a wall. Placing these speakers inside a cabinet will result in muting the rich sound they produce. These speakers are vented and need to breathe especially at higher volumes. Also consider the weight. They are heavy. Will your cabinet support the weight? How this helps?

That should be fine, if you have the space for them on a shelf or a desk they will fill the entire room with sound, I have them in a fairly large room and they have no problem.

I concur with the two previous answers. I got them to block out background noise on airplanes and confirming the comments from Julie and scott, for this they work exceptionally well, blocking pretty much all background noise . While I've not tried them in a light industrial setting, I've had lots of experience in that kind of environment and believe they would work well. A word of caution, they are so effective that they will likely also block warning signals in that kind of an evironment, including trucks reversing, and others. USE CAUTION!

Yes. MLV is used many times on walls/ceiling/floors to block sound transfer. Your results will vary depending on many factors including covering the entire surface, eliminating flanking paths (through the ceiling and floor) etc.

It depends on how you define 'help', but by how you phrased the question, my guess is not really. These will help reduce the mechanical coupling path between the woofer and the surface they sit on. For example, if they're on a desk it will prevent your pens from rattling, and improve the audio experience. If you are concerned with reducing vibrations that your neighbors feel, I don't think they will be sufficient. My apartment is particularly poor for isolation, the only way I've been able to have my neighbors not hear my subwoofer is to not use a subwoofer.... Good luck!

I have been using these for the same purpose in the same size room. They work well for this as long as there isn't a lot of additional sound going on around you. My big room is the shared family room next to the kitchen, so sink, dishwasher, and stove fan can be quite loud. I'm switching to a soundbar with subwoofer instead for almost the same cost.

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.

I use these at work. There is a lot of machine noise there. It dulls out the sound of the machines but I can still hear people talking so I think yes these would work.

I use them in a wall unit that is enclosed. They are however a couple of inches away from the walls of the enclosure. They seem it be very forgiving to the needs of the user and less then perfect acoustical choices (a marriage dictates my speaker placement, heehee).

No.. I would not recommend they be used in a room that needs to remain quiet. I bought 2 of them and both have a significant rattle and hum.

I used this to line the inside of my speakers essentially to prevent the sound waves from coming in contact with the wood. Going by this logic, to keep sound/noise from entering the room, you should line the outside of the door. Having said that, this might make your door look odd from the outside! Theoretically, you can put this on the inside of the door to provide sound proofing but I'm not sure how effective it will be.
