Will this absorb sound and vibrations from jumping routines (like Insanity)? Trying to minimize noise/bumping/shaking for downstairs neighbors.

It will definitely help to absorb sound and some vibrations. I cannot speak to all vibrations. I purchased these interlocking mats for similar reasons , i.e., not wanting to wake up my downstairs neighbor during my P90X3 workouts.

I think so,but make sure to have a rubber mat under it,even if you have carpeting.It makes a whirring noise,but it isn't that loud in my opinion.Unfortunately,if you have sensitive neighbors almost any equipment might set them off,but this is pretty quiet compatered to a treadmill or elliptical

The product itself is not inherently noisy. However when you bounce there is a slight movement when you jump the legs do hit the ground a tad... probably not nearly as noisy as if you were to just jump on the bare floor, but I can't imagine it wouldn't create a bit of rhythmic bouncing noise for the folks underneath you. The top & side apartments it would be the noise coming from your 'Bouncing DVD' that would be more noticeable!! Certainly not from the rebounder itself! It folds in half, not easily, but certainly doable, and would slide under a bed, or sit up flat against a wall nicely.

I have mine under a weight machine in our garage which we turned into a rec / workout room. It works perfect for what I have it for. As far as noise reduction under a treadmill (we have one) my only thought to help you would be that this mat is heavy and thick. It would probably work better than anything else that you would buy. If a mat is going to absorb sound this would be it. This is a really good mat period.

As Mack replied, I'm sure this rubber mat help reduce the thumping noise from the trampoline feet hitting your floor (wood?), but won't totally reduce the noise level. Couldn't be worse, only better.

It will help with sound dampening the bass, ours is on laminate and I wish it was on carpet

I was under the impression that it could do 12-16 db reduction based on reading about it. Those numbers are in perfect testing environments most likely. This product might do more for vibration then sound, probably best used as a floor underpayment. I used mine on a wall. Id say actual db reduction is minimal, 1-6 db.

There is jumping, sprawls, burpees, plyo-push-ups, etc., all that require going airborn to some degree. Depends on apartment construction as whether or how much that sound will travel. Also depends on how soft a landing you can maintain. Still, it is designed for a fairly confined space like an apartment. Great workout.

I lived upstairs and did P90X with jumping and never had a problem, I used foam mats and "landed softly" as Tony says. But I also lived around college idiots who made noise 24/7 and blasted music all day and night so I don't think they would have complained about some jumping on and off for 40 minutes. Most of the time though you are not jumping much actually only on some exercises but you land softly and with control.

I don't think it will do much, if you have normal neighbors and just want to quiet down a tv on the other side it might help muffle slightly. Think if it as ceral cardboard box material, maybe a little thicker but not as thick as cardboard. if you glued it to the wall its gonna do something but not a way whole lot. for the noise or for insulation. and the stuff is way to expensive. Personaly I'd go with something else Heck even cardboard egg crates and roll or blown in insulation might be better for neighbors noise... hope this helps.

I don't think it will lower vibration to your neighbors, most of that is from bass, and these speakers stands are not for woofers/subwoofers. Coasters would help to keep YOU from hearing the speaker stands vibrate on a hard floor, though.

You can definitely hear it. It's not terribly loud. I put it on an anti slip pad and it cuts the vibrations.

This mats main use is to cushion your drop on jumps while excercise but I do have a much larger mat made of same material under my treadmill in my bedroom and I also live on the 2nd floor of a 2 floor house and it does great with muffling the sound. I have never had a complaint from my downstairs neighbors on it.

I bought this once before to put along the shared wall in an apartment. Before laying out the felt you could hear the neighbor as if he was in the same room with us. After the installation you could hear slight muffled noise. Not 100% noise cancelation but it made a great difference.I actually used felt and a foam and carboard combination. Since you are only using it on the doors you should have enough do do a few layers. I would recommend one layer felt, one layer cardboard and one layer felt. Multiple layers for the sound to get trough will help with the noise.

It does on most small jumps, but if you have a big drop you will still hear it. It does a good job of protecting your frame tho.

Absolutely. I used to do the system when I lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex and my neighbors had no issue with me. As the others have said, Tony stresses the importance of soft landings. I had carpet and would do the workouts in my shoes but as long as I didn't stomp there were no issues. It's a great system, you should have no problems whatsoever.

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.
