I live in a building and use a sewing machine at night sometimes. Can this help me block the noise if I place it under the machine?

Probably just about any foam will help absorb the vibrations from the sewing machine, but if the machine loses firm contact with the table or floor, it might become unstable and affect the sewing.

You should be able to although it is quite noisy, machine noise is not that bad.

Hi Marilyn BI do not know if they will totaly block out the shrill screaming. I will say that I use mine around wood working power equipment and they greatly reduce the sound they do not block it all out. Bill

Not positive about blocking out road construction, but this little machine can get very loud. I'm betting it would drown out that noise outside.

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

If sound can be suppressed, I am unaware as to how to do it. Sorry I cannot help you. My best advice would be to go to the Brother website and if they have an 800 customer service number, call them and ask them.

Yes. It reduces noise significant ly. But I am not sure how the neighbour's below are being affected. They didn't complained. It can depend on the building also.

Yes, if you place it under your pillow the sound is very localized. They won't hear it.

Yes.... Its going to be difficult to avoid ambient noise unless you can set up backdrops and wind socks to absorb some of the extraneous sounds. This is a great mic. You can try using lavalier mics, use wind socks etc and should help a lot

Clearly a matter of noise level you are experiencing - the machine has as loud a true white noise that I could find and does a good job of masking train noise and TV from an adjoining room. It isn't just "louder" than surrounding noise, but provides masking and a level of white noise that reduces the impact of external sounds.

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

A pad would be recommended. Simply because it will protect the floor as well dampen the noise. It is a very quiet machine but the extra padding will be helpful.

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

If you can see a gap under your door (hardwood floors or very short carpet), I would expect this to help. I bought it just for sound reduction on hardwood floors, and am happy with it. It wouldn't help with people directly outside your door, but it could reduce reflected sounds that normally go under the gap between floor and door.

Those are good questions! Although, while using this machine, I don't think you would really be on the machine long enough to carry a conversation or watch TV. If you were to do so, depending on the flooring you have, these things are possible. My machine is on a cement floor in my lower living area and it does not create enough noise to be a problem. I use my machine often and I am happy with the purchase.

It's quickly delivered to me. .For my case, we planned to put it on the window to block noise outside from AC units, but it is kind of difficult because it is heavy, also tiny fiber inside seems easily leek out, which is dangerour to my kids. So my conclusion is that it is best for blocking noise in garage or other non-living places.

it blocks noise very well.I like to wear it in my studio so I can concentrate on my work when people talking around me
