Can this be used as a strong sound barrier? I'm thinking of somehow hanging it as curtains (behind my panels) or lining my indoor HVAC area with it.

This film is so thin that it will not attenuate much sound at all. You would be much better off with traditional sound absorbing panels.

It's very good quality soundproofing. As long as it's tightly fastened in place with good adhesive tape. I suggest Ape Tape. It's high quality and made by 3M. Each panel is 1 sq. ft. It comes in a package of 12 covering a total of 12 sq. ft. 20 X 20 is 400 sq. ft. So, you would need 33 and 1/3 packages to cover that much. A rule of acoustics is if 3% of the area is exposed 50% of the noise gets through.

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.

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

This was used to line the inside of pc case. I think it would be too thin for ceiling sound damping.

Never thought of using one of these to sound proof a room, guess it could work. We used spray foam insullation

It would move air, but what is your intent? If you use it as an exhaust fan you would have to move air from someplace else in the room (open window). If used as an intact fan, then it would make a positive pressure environment if no outside vent/window/door is open.

This will help prevent reflection of high frequencies but will not do much for lows or vibrations. The best thing to do would be to put a layer of something heavy like dynamat or a mat with a built in sound deadening layer. And the best place to put that would be the actual inside of the door. In other words, if it is a hollow door, take the thin sheet off of one side so you can see the inner workings of the door, and put them on the inside so that when you put the sheet back on you can't see anything you added. If you really want to use this, you could put it on the outside, facing the source of the noise.

I purchased this unit specifically for a through-the-wall (about 9 inches) application, which is what it is designed for. I think you would find it awkward to use in a window application, and it would require too much carpentry work to build a support for the air conditioner on the outside of the building or house. I believe you would be wise to select an air conditioner that is specifically designed for window use. It would probably be much cheaper in price than this unit. Also, the manufacturer's description says it is not suited for window use.

I wouldn't place this in a bare attic, bc of the fiberglass dust PLUS the heat. Why not hide it on a top shelf of a closet, and just use wire ties on a metal grill shelf to hold 2 large fans to move air across it? You can "build" a hide place with an up side down large boot box with slits.

Yes. It can be used. It is a solid product for the price. However, if you are installing below grade over concrete. I personally would opt for a heavier barrier. It is rather thin. It worked beautifully in my situation and the price was excellent. But my install was over subfloor and above grade. Anytime you install below grade you have higher moisture. That is why I would recommend a heavier barrier. It will cost more. But you will be glad you went with it.

This would not be good for speaker insulation. Go get some ownens pink fiberglass from somewhere like home depot, I use 4" thick. The sound needs to go through the insulation to the box yet be deadened a little, this will probably deaden it too much.

In decibles? Not sure. The fan on high speed is louder than I thought it would be, but still not very loud for how much air is flowing through it. It depends on your placement also - in a small space it will seem louder than in a larger space. The noise doesn't bother me though, and I certainly don't need ear protection to be around it. Mine is in my basement attached to the ceiling joists, and I can't hear it at all in the room above.

It's worth a try. I covered my living room wall with this to dampen neighbor's noise. It dampens the noise from outside by maybe 20-30 percent.

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.

I don't think these are a good option for that...they are for confined spaces (like a safe) for that much air you will need something more robust to be effective.

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.
