if i put this next to the door in my dorm room will it be able to help keep noise from my room from entering the hall

I don't believe it will keep noise from the hallway. It is good for drowning out noise while you sleep. It is not so loud to keep noise from other rooms. I like to keep it near my bed to keep noise from letting me sleep.

I can drown out some noises, but not really loud noises. The power switch has 2 settings for fan speed, so the higher setting provides more noise. The number of baffle holes open at any time is controlled by gently turning the top or side covers, and this changes the pitch of the sound. Probably best to put it near you to drown out the sounds from outside.

It's not very loud at all but is quite soothing. I have to keep it near my head to drown out external noises so I'd say it probably won't do the trick.

Yes. I would think so. Unless it's super loud noise. It's like a floor fan or box fan noise.

No, only if you put it "outside" your room door. I have another that I leave outside my room and my roommate at home can't hear me as much. Won't work if it is inside.

It is quite loud, it may do the trick. There are also alarm clocks that have a "Nature Sounds" setting that are also quite loud. I have one by Memorex that has such a feature. Good luck!

It reduces the noise somewhat. I only covered a door but I figure it you use it over a larger area you will have silence

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.

11102 wouldn't be particularly effective for room "sound proofing" as it's designed as a sound damping. I really rather doubt that much vibration or rattle is coming through a residential door. However, the thickest closed cell foam would moderate some transfer.

Yes, if the gap underneath the door is big enough to place the door stop under it, it will stop the door from being opened and will make a very loud sound that the neighbors can hear so you will definitely be woken up if someone tries to come in....

its not that loud but if someone put there ear to the door might hear it , on low they wouldn't hear it at all, even with there ear on the door . on high might be able to hear it if its all quiet and they put there ear to the door other wise I don think they can hear it through a door

It probably won't help with a large gap. I used this one for soundproofing on a door with a small gap. There is another product that is similar but has larger diameter tubes. It is the Hampton Direct Twin Draft Guard also sold on Amazon. None of these will really soundproof a room but the Hampton Direct will get closer. With some clever tweaks on your part, you should get a workable solution.

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.

In my experience, if you can hear it, this will pick it up. I've set it in one end of my house and walked in a room at the other end and I could still play myself back talking. Since even in large classes, the students are generally quiet you should have no problem. I use in in class. If you hear a lot of backnoise, put the mic sensitivity on low. I'm extremely pleased with it.

Maybe. The flap has at the bottom a metal band held over the plastic by Riviots. The bottom has a small plastic part that must have the magnets in it & it moves. It maybe better to take something like clear gorilla tape to tape it in place. I think that would make it quieter. You also may be able to move the lower part before installing it in the door.

Yes. But with the strong vibrations, the sound doesn't distract. Need to have the door shut and some covers over if you have thin walls!

I think it is Loud. I close the door to my bedroom and leave it. It is hard to talk over unless you have a large room. I still like it however

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.

With hardwood floors the draft guard is very effective at reducing noise between rooms. It forms a barrier right at that largest gap under the door, and greatly muffles sound. I actually bought two of these to reduce noise, and am very happy with the result.

I don't think it helps much to soundproof a room. However, it does help to tame some of the high frequencies so the sound is less bright inside the room.

To be honest its a little on the noisier side. If u put it in an enclosed space or box it does eliminate some of the noise.

They would probably work pretty well as far as blocking out those noises once you are already asleep or are falling asleep. They are good for muffling those kind of noises well but not so good at deep rumbling noises that kind of shake the walls. I guess that's a good thing though, so you could still hear someone banging on the door if necessary.
