Are there any sound insulating properties to this sweep? If not, could I add something to it that would make it have some sound abatement properties?

If I was you, purchase something of a higher quality. I added heavy duty outdoor duct tape, and still have issues now and then. Good luck

This is not an insulating device. However, it does block cold air considerably just by itself. I don't think it needs anything else.

It is not terribly noisy - if you are going to use it on tile, you might consider putting a rug or rubber mat under it to minimize sound transferred through hard flooring surfaces. I would not think noise would be a problem

It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's maybe a little noisier than some hand-held vacs because it is more powerful, but I don't think it's dramatically louder.

Hi, I have used this product with no customer complaints.... However if you are experiencing noise, you can use an insulator of some sort such as ice and water shield. Every situation can be different but try the above. Hope this helps...

I put it directly over concrete floors and have had no problems, but I live in Colorado where things are fairly dry anyway. The green side is plastic, so it's supposed to act as a moisture barrier. I will say that the sound reduction is wonderful even over the concrete floor.

Consider that you are polishing metal so its going to make some noise I can hear mine in the garage from about 30'. My sonic solution cleaner is very quite.

I gave up on doing corners and edges. I just started to use the steam Swifter Sweeper and swear that my floors get cleaner and it does do corners and edges. And it is definitely not noisy. Hope this helps.

That would work very well, but only if you wrapped the pipe in a foam first, then wrapped the MLV around the foam, and preferably leaving no breaks in coverage. Having the MLV in direct contact with the pipe would greatly reduce the effectiveness as a sound barrier

I'm not sure what you are asking. There is no heat involved in the cleaning action which is done with ultrasound waves.

Ha-Ha! Never thought of that. Mine isn't as loud - perhaps because I used foam on all 4 sides (the peel'n'stick type) on the window itself. Yes, there is noise - the unit is pretty basic (and I knew this) - but the price was good, so I balanced out the noise with $ savings. Also, it seems that the unit is pretty crudely built, so maybe there are noise levels which vary from unit to unit. It runs well, for me. I also live in NYC, so noise isn't an issue, it's a daily lifestyle.

This was the exact reason I bought this fan. I also removed the little plastic square cover to increase sensitivity and adjusted the setting for length of time I wanted it to run. I have it wired to a switch, but leave it in the on position for the motion detector. It creates a negative airflow from the house into the bathroom so the odors do not escape. Panasonic builds one of the quietest fans. I liked it so much that I bought another Panasonic with a built-in heater unit for my master bath. Good Luck!

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

It does not make any rattling noises, it is loud, but any vacuum that works very well and has a lot of power will do that.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

Hi, it should take care of most sound and vibration on the main floor but if it's an upper level floor, it probably will not completely get rid of it. Hope this helps!

I have a small shop and the dust collector is very much in the open. I is not as loud as I expected. Not quiet, but significantly less noise than my shop vac, table saw, etc.

Hello.If the area is small (below 40sqf) or not too dirty we do not sweep firstSo far this item is working OK with the dusty areas
