This was used to line the inside of pc case. I think it would be too thin for ceiling sound damping.

Not really. Mass loaded vinyl would be better. Another even more effective option is to sandwich drywall with a layer of an acoustic dampener between them. There is stuff sold in 5 gallon pails for this purpose.

It may help, but this could be fun removing someday and would be quite expensive to do the whole area. I use 3m adhesive to apply this inside speaker cabinets. They also make a 2 inch thick soft foam like for recording studios that are 24x24 and are nice and flat for applying to walls and ceilings.

No it won't. You might put a mic stand on this to isolate it from the hum of a hard drive for instance.

I have bought two of them and have had no problems with noise. I bought one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Only problem has been that some of the plastic latches seem to break easily.

It will make some clicking noise (clicks every about 4 seconds), i have mine mounted to the wood but you could wrap it in some kind of sound proofing, goto the last 7 min of this video you'll hear the clicking :) https://youtu.be/KeJMP4FdhUg

I think that might work. It would stop the sound once closed. A motion detector might also work. This brand works great.

If the aforementioned building is an apartment like structure. Then yes it would make noise. it would make noises just like jumping up and down in that building. Now if that building is like a building in New York City, then it would depend on how much space between the floors are.

Will probably be fine. This one is quiet but if you are directly over the other bedroom they may hear some noise bit probably no more than you walking on the floors?

The steps are not slippery. I think it would work just fine for your purpose.

No, the step itself is very stable once you set it up & put it in place. There will be some noise from the impact of your stepping up & down, also if you are doing any jumping on top of it, but in my opinion that is to be expected. I hope that helped to answer your question.

No. This product is a reflection-absorber, not soundproofing material. For what you are discussing, you will need a different kind of product (essentially, sheets of dense rubber such as Peacemaker). No matter what you do, it's going to cost dearly, and not be particularly effective.

No, not really. Now, if it is someone putting heavy pressure on the cane, I am sure you will,hear some level of a thud. We have mostly wood floors and sound has not been an issue.

There's always some moisture in wood, upstairs or not. Even if it's completely dry, there's always the chance of water leakage getting under the floor and causing some warping. I'd play it safe and use an underlayment, even if it's only 15-pound asphalt paper, which is inexpensive.

It really shouldn't...I actually watched my 2 y/o daughter just jump in it and pictured someone living below. We have ours on carpet and it just doesn't move enough to cause that much noise. I hope that helped!

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

Hi, I live in a one story home...but I do the tread climber at 4 am and no one in my house has complained about the noise. We put foam puzzle mats under it so that it would not damage the floor so this may be helping too. Note: we keep our house pretty cool about 63 degrees. It takes the shocks a few minutes to warm up so it is a little bit clunky at first. Also this thing has wheels but is extremely heavy once it is put together so moving it up and downstairs if you move will take two grown strong men. But this is not a bad thing because it feels sturdy when supporting the weight of my 300 lb husband, some machine we have had in the past feel flimsy.

Only if you ISOLATION feet & heavy carpeting. It will rattle the ceiling of the people under you.

yes if you have waterproof floors around otherwise the overspray would make a big mess. In general it would probably be too much volume to control in most situations.

Probably, I would put some kind of rubber footing on the steps to keep from sliding
