Can you use this for bedroom doors to help prevent noise entering?

Yes. Definitely. The only place I would not dare to use it is on the area where its gonna dump moist or wet ... but yes I even used it in my closet. .. this is an incredible product. .. very quiet. . Hope it helps

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.

Depends on how you mount it or attach it to the wall, I would think. Google sound dampening for walls, but this stuff might help. I did not use it for that purpose. Good Luck! R.

I don't think it helps much to soundproof a room. However, it does help to tame some of the high frequencies so the sound is less bright inside the room.

It will diminish any noise to some degree, but if it's coming from outside, putting it in the window will block some of it. These work best to keep sound from bouncing off walls.

No and we can't use this in the bedroom as a result. If I block the light then it's tricky to control. Anyway I have found even quiet mode a bit louder for sleeping than the kind that I prefer. But I love it for kitchen and exercise/office space.

This will help prevent reflection of high frequencies but will not do much for lows or vibrations. The best thing to do would be to put a layer of something heavy like dynamat or a mat with a built in sound deadening layer. And the best place to put that would be the actual inside of the door. In other words, if it is a hollow door, take the thin sheet off of one side so you can see the inner workings of the door, and put them on the inside so that when you put the sheet back on you can't see anything you added. If you really want to use this, you could put it on the outside, facing the source of the noise.

First I would replace the door with a solid core door. This will get the noise down quite a bit by itself, and if you need more attenuation, you now will have something solid to screw this vinyl to, since it is quite heavy.

Yes. But with the strong vibrations, the sound doesn't distract. Need to have the door shut and some covers over if you have thin walls!

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

Hi! No, unless that door was never opened. The alarm would go off anytime you closed the door, so unless you're just protecting that door and not using it--I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

No, you're going to need mass to do any soundproofing. The foam will only absorb sound inside the room, but there will still be a lot of sound leakage to your neighbors. Hope this helps

The gap you describe is a bit more than with my doors. It would work, but keep in mind if the tip of the wedge shows thru to the other side of the door, the intruder could potentially push it back and away from the door. To make the siren sound, the door just has to begin to be opened and push the contact down. So you would just need to keep the wedge from showing thru the underside of the door. You can place it on a 1/8 to 1/4 inch piece of wood to 'raise' it a bit off the floor. Keep it about 2-4 inches from the opening side of the door, so it would sound before the door gets opened too wide. The gap you describe is a bit more than with my doors.

I'm not sure. I live in a loft style apartment and use it indoors to block the sound from below the staircase.

I wouldn't use this for that. It is only a minor sound dampener. It is best for filling between more effective material and is a better vibration dampener than sound shield. I'm confident there are better options for a house.

Yes. You need a bit of room on either side of the closure (door/frame) for the metal plate. If there is wood-trim too close to the edge it will be slightly loose but still effective. The idea is to prevent casual entry, to make noise if tampered with, and to slow down a thief while the alarm is ringing. Most thieves want to be in and out in minutes and this adds another problem to their navigation.

The door flap is virtually silent - a slight thump can be heard as the magnets align - hardly noticeable. A separate note: the door must b absolutely square when installed or it may not fully close, leaving a slight gap. Not a problem for bedroom door, but for an outside exit can loose AC or Heat.

No. A sound barrier, like mass loaded vinyl, would help some but you would still have vibrations.
