I live on the top floor of an apartment building, will this help reduce noise so my downstars neighbor can't hear it?

Its a great mat, But Im honestly not sure about the noise reducing. Im a personal trainer, and I use it outside at parks for people to drop the barbell on when we do things like deadlifts and cleans.

I bought these for just that reason when I had hardwood floors in my apartment. I think it dulled the noise quite a bit and would help a lot on carpet as well, but not entirely, you will still have to consciously try to jump lightly. My downstairs neighbor never came to complain.

It definitely lessens them, but I doubt anything practical will completely block low deep noises, since these tend to pass through almost any barrier. Regardless, this is the best sound machine that I know of. The company also provides excellent service - twice sending me a new one when one of the two I recently bought had a problem. I've also bought several other models from them over the last 20 years or so for a variety of situations.

It is loud which is why I chose it..however if your neighbors will hear it really depend on how thin your walls are as well as where you have the timer located in your apt... so keep it on the lowest volume setting and keep it away from any shared walls and you should be fine.

Depends where you mount it. Ours is in the joists in the basement so it does make more noise than if in an upper floor. Just insert some foam between the fan sides and whatever you are attaching it too. It is a fan and you will hear it.

You probably won't hear it unless it's in your bedroom. It's like a small fan on low speed, maybe quieter.

That is not too different from my application, so it should help. It will stop resonance and provide some sound absorption.

I would say no; and if anything it won't be worse then a low hum. I used it in a small workshop with 1/4" walls and could barely hear it.

The loudest setting may block it out. Guess it depends on how loud the construction noise is?

It really isn't very noisy. If you are next to it and someone is talking to you, they would have to be next to you to hear them. But you won't wake up the neighbors.

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.

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.

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 help block out a modest amount of noise, but it is not a solution for large noise issues. I hope this helps.

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

The white noise setting pretty much does, although some of the other settings may not, as the sound is more intermittent. However, I'm not sure if it would block neighbors from hearing you, although probably, but only if you place it near the wall you share with them. It will block you from hearing them, though.

The machine is very quiet and I seriously doubt your neighbors would hear you. They are more likely to hear you walking to the machine than using it. Hope this helps.
