Sorry, repose: can its ultra-sound 'penetrate' drywall, and still be effective to some unknown animals making scratching noise inside it?

Hi, I'm going to take a stab at it and say "yes." I bought this unit because I had this annoying little mouse that I don't know how he got into my apartment but all I know is--after I put the unit up, he's gone! I think the unit works as a result of the ultrasound waves it emits which I'm sure would have some kind of effect on a raccoon, possum, mouse, rat or any small animal of similar stature who would be susceptible to the ultra sonic waves.

No. Basically, you're experiencing the sucky part of apartment living. This is for sound absorption, not soundproofing. Soundproofing is typically done by installing mineral wool or other soundproofing materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings during construction of a unit. Acoustic foam only absorbs and displaces sound waves emanating in a room (e.g. they make an "echoey" room less "echoey"). Sound Proofing = stopping of sound waves, as in moving from room to room like your noisy neighbor. Sound Absorption = absorbs extra sound waves in a particular space. Trust me, there is nothing you can buy on the internet that will fix your noisy neighbor problem. A better solution would be to ask said neighbor to observe more respectable noise levels appropriate for apartment living.

I don't have this experience, but this equipment doesn't repel cats and dogs on my yard by using ultrasonic with low volume of sonic.

You adjust your sensitivity through your squelch setting. Yes you can detect through dry wall.

I imagine that the sound can travel that far. However, it is not just the sound that makes the device effective, but the brush of air on their shoulder or hip that disrupts their behavior. My Pyrenees would practically jump out of his skin when he heard it. My German Shepherd could care less even if the air hits him. For 1/2 the price plus the purchase of the high flow nozzle from The Pet Convincer website, purchase a CO2 bicycle tire inflation device.

No. It's a pressed pulp fiber material that you paint. It may absorb some sound, but not much at all.

nope. It will not be able to ping deep enough. It can barely go through 1/2 drywall

It may help some, but I would not say it would eliminate all the sound. It seems like the dog is lonely, and the owner should be responsible for annoying you.

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.

These panels absorb echo, not noise necessarily. Hanging them on the wall to try blocking rattling pipes may muffle the noise a little but not that much. Any padding you give the pipes INSIDE the wall (standard insulation or the foam thermal insulating tubes) would work best for eliminating a rattle - a much better fix and drywall isn't that hard to patch. Good luck!

If the wall is insulated it will probably be alright, but if it is not insulated the sound might be too loud.

Per the manufacturer, no. It bounces up and down against the walls if placed on the floor and sideways if hung sideways. That said, I put the 2 of the product next to heat vents (1 per vent) on the floor with the idea of seeing whether it might work that way. As far as I can tell, it did. No sound of critters after that.

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

Yes , I would put some wood glue in between the wood where the noise is and then shoot 2 inch nails in it , that will stop all noise after glue dries

Not really. Mass loaded vinyl would be better. Another even more effective option is to sandwich drywall with a layer of an acoustic dampener between them. There is stuff sold in 5 gallon pails for this purpose.

It won't eliminate all the noise, but it should help decrease it to the point it's able to be ignored. It turns the shrill metallic ear piercing noise my table saw makes into a dull tolerable drone. So a party thru a wall should be no problem.

I'm not sure. We use it for problematic cats and to deter nasty neighbors from letting their dogs crap in our yard.Inside the repeller there is a mechanism to adjust the ultrasonic tone, depending on what animal you want to scare away. It shows you a range for cats/dogs, rodents, etc. I think you'd be able to do experiment until you found the perfect tone. If you have a county agricultural extension office you may want to get their advice on the frequency. But I think the device is pretty self-explanatory and it *should* work for you. I could hardly believe how effective it was against cats and dogs. I think once you get the right frequency you won't have any problems. I'm not sure.
