I have an existing wall that is on 16 inch center furring strips.that is 130 sq ft. Will this work to reduce sound from neighbor?

no, but the idea is good, this is more liquid goo than it is insulation. a pro company with open wall yes. best bet is to use sound deading drywall over what you have on wall now. stops it all normaly

No. This product does not spray it oozes out just like the cans you can buy in a home improvement store. I was very disappointed with it.

We didn't have much luck covering the wall. This works great for filling cracks around doors and windows. We were trying to insulate the entire wall system in a 10x20 shed. It would probably reduce the noise but to get the foam to fill the area you are trying to fill may take a couple of bottles. I know for our project it would've taken several bottles. We couldn't get it to spray in layers....it sprayed in streams. The foam expanded and filled cracks and small voids wonderfully. It should reduce sound tho' for sure.

The product worked well for me to fill a lot of narrow cracks (1/8 inch upto 2 inches). The nozzle outlet is small and although there is a on/off valve i found that once you open this you have to empty it. I would not expect this to fill large spaces. Large blobs of this foam are to heavy to stay in place on a wall while wet. The product needs multiple surfaces to cling to - such as a crack between boards.

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 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.

I have heard of people needing to change their settings because they where operating the neighbors fan so I don't see why you couldn't. Make sure you can return it and try it out.Good luck

I live on the Third floor Apt and yes it does reduce some of the noise from my jumping around on it. However, if you have hardwood floors like I do that squeak than position mat on less squeaky section of the floor and you should be okay.

This acoustic foam is used for damping cabinet resonance in speakers to improve the low frequency response of the system. I doubt very much whether it will reduce the output of the speaker.

My installation is on an outside wall under a covered porch. There is plenty of volume. I get quite a bit of wind noise but have never tested the audio quality.

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.

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.

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

This is not the correct solution for that type of problem. If you are trying to soundproof one existing wall then there are many other solutions sandwiching drywall or using mountable sound reduction panels. If you are considering making a sort of open box or actual standing partition to help with some small noise reduction, then something like foam insulation boards (google generator hush box) would be much more practical.

i dont think it will work. even if you didnt have any kind of walls or interference it wouldnt work for more than 200ft. at least that is my experience. in my apartment it doesnt work for more than 30ft because its a concrete building

Yes ---- This is NOT recommended as it would upset the built in arrangement. For best results use it as received. You will be surprised at the surround sound you will gwet. GOOD LUCK

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

I would not think it would be a good buy for your situation. This item emits a sound that the human ear does not hear, but animals DO....in your case, with your dog being closer than the neighbors, it would probably bother yours more than theirs...........

I attached mine with "T pins" found in the sewing section of the megamart. Works great.Regarding the sound, they are effective in absorbing sound waves, preventing them from bouncing around. I guess it would help with the sound in an adjacent room, but that's not its intent. Worth a try, but you would also need to get an airtight seal around the outlets and switches on the common wall. Otherwise it won't be much help.

If you insultated the walls and use these it will result in a sound reduction.
