will these work to soften banging noise when closing doors throughout the house like bedroom doors?

Yes. I have used them to help quite bathroom and pantry doors at our house.

I don't think so. Placing them on the door frame would most likely prevent the doors from completely closing an latching.If you were to create a recess for them and/or adjust the striker that MIGHT work. My suggestion would be to try some thinfoam rubber weather stripping with self adhesive backing that is typically used on exterior windows and doors.

These bumpers work very well on cabinet doors where there is a large enough piece of wood to hit when they close. If you put the bumpers on the edge of the bedroom doors they may work, but the door frame may not have enough room for good contact. You may want to try smaller bumpers or a strip of rubber to put on the door frame. Good luck!

I definitely have noticed the cupboard doors close a lot softer now, but I've only used them in my kitchen cupboard doors. I'm not sure if they would work very well on an actual bedroom door because they are rather thick. I would think you'd have a hard time closing the door and getting it to latch because of the thickness of the pad.

Probably not these were designed for a much smaller door and it's unlikely that they will be effective on a full-size door

We used it as a pantry door, so we don't really know if it dampens the noise, but the operating system is really smooth. Hope this helps

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!

It should reduce it but be aware that each panel weighs about 10 lbs. It also depends on a lot of factors. All around dampening or noise reducing products only reduce noise. Blocking all noise and completely soundproofing is best handled by pros and expensive (think recording studios). It also depends on your window and walls. Insulation in the walls or thicker sheetrock reduces noise. Properly sealing Windows does too. I put a panel on two windows closet to an annoying and loud dog behind our house. It sounds better but not as much as I would have liked for the cost. Found out later that these walls are not insulated.

Yes, and yes, but NOT as sound insulation. Their purpose is to make sound "dry" , reduce unwanted reverb, aka bounce as these are difusers.

These are more sound "dampeners" than they are sound "proofers." I am using them in a small conference room to eliminate echoes on the speaker phone and they work well. They will of course absorb some of the sound coming through your wall, but probably not the amount you hope. You probably need something solid.

These "tune in" to distant/ quiet sounds while muffling loud/ near by noises, in essence balancing the surrounding volume. I think they would work but unless you planed to use the audio jack I think they may be to heavy for what you want.

I seriously doubt if these vibration dampers would 'stop' vibrations. However, they can help reduce the floor vibrations/noises caused by front loading washing machines.

Hello Belle,These headphones block the sound to a certain level on low volume, but I can assure you that you won't hear anything if you turn them up all the way to the end. So basically they should do the trick I suppose.

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

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

These are made to stop mechanical vibrations such as those from a compressor or generator, so I doubt they would be soft enough to stop the more subtle vibrations you are describing.

As long as you have self-closing hinges, these should work. They are not connected to the hinges in any way. They are designed to soften the closing action when self-closing hinges close the door.

I recently bought the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones to block thumping and loud footsteps from my neighbor upstairs. Unfortunately, these muffle rather than block such sounds when no music is going through them. When I put on classical or ambient music, the loud parts block the thumping but I can still hear it when the music is quiet. So, these aren't a perfect solution. I suspect most noise-canceling headphones are intended to block constant low-frequency sounds rather than in-and-out random noises. Good luck to all of you dealing with noisy neighbors.

It would probably knock the sound down enough, but I'd also ask the house management to do something to slow the door down as it closes to make it less noticeable.

Have not used them on doors. I bought them to put on the legs of my furniture after having laminate flooring installed and they worked great.I would think they would work for the door problem; at least they would "cushion" the blow and cut down on the 'bang' of the door closing.

I wouldn't say these suppress exterior noise by much. I bought these because we have 3 people in our house that work evenings, and my wife can listen to the TV without disturbing anyone. She says she can hear the dishwasher a very small amount while wearing them. Just testing them myself some has to really direct their voice to you to be disruptive. A side note.....We LOVE these! The serve a great purpose and work fantastically!
