I'm a drummer and am looking for a quick way to lower the noise of my drums in my garage. Would these help? How much? Thanks!

McMaster-Carr carries many types of sound mitigation panels that can be cut to fit, rated by percent of sound absorbed.

I would imagine you would have to do some sort of seal on the trim around the door as well as the panels that this product covers. It is worth a try.

It will help a bit but not much. It leaves all the edges exposed for the normal operation of the garage door and the sound will get out anyway.

They isolate sound pretty well, and pretty soon I will be getting replacement ear pads from beyerdynamic, which are said to feel better, and provide a bit better sound isolation. I will let you know more when I get them.

I would expect a small amount of sound and vibration to lower. Keep in mind these are just made out of painted MDF wood. The spikes on these are made out of plastic and don't have much of a proper spike on them. They spike into carpet well, but I wouldn't worry about damaging hardwood with these.If you really wanted to lower vibration transfer, look into finding a set of stands that allow you to fill the vertical section with sand.

I have not done any shooting but I can say that these reduce noise although perhaps not enough for that kind of noise. If you are not looking for fidelity in the sound that goes into your ears, I would look for stronger protection if I were you.

Hi Jobin - You know, I really don't use them much, so I really can't comment. I went back and see if they work, and they do, and there doesnt seem too much background noise. Hope that helps.

I use these at the shooting range to suppress the sound at an indoor range. While shooting my instructor had to get right up next to me to say something for me to hear him. I can't remember if I heard the others shooting for I was concentration on my own shots. It is definitely going to deaden the sound for sure. Good luck studying!!!!

They are about the same volume as if you put your hand on an acoustic tom, and struck the drum. They won't get you in trouble with your neighbors, but if someone in your house is trying to sleep, different story. I love my dm8 kit!

The noise cancelling is pretty good. I have a roommate who plays drums and vibraphone, and he's usually pretty loud. When I put them on and play some music, I can't hear him practice. They're really good especially for the price, highly recommended.

I have used them successfully to block off noise from heavy stompers living above me but they have carpets. I would think it would work because it also takes the edge off of street noise since my room faces the street which has a streetcar going by frequently. Sometimes they almost block too much noise because I can't hear my clock radio's music turn on so I pull them out of my ears slightly. They bring me peace and I can finally sleep soundly!

It couldn't hurt. I used these to muffle the room our drum set is in, but to be honest I probably need more than to really make an effect. Not sure how big your coop is.

It depends on how you define 'help', but by how you phrased the question, my guess is not really. These will help reduce the mechanical coupling path between the woofer and the surface they sit on. For example, if they're on a desk it will prevent your pens from rattling, and improve the audio experience. If you are concerned with reducing vibrations that your neighbors feel, I don't think they will be sufficient. My apartment is particularly poor for isolation, the only way I've been able to have my neighbors not hear my subwoofer is to not use a subwoofer.... Good luck!

Yeah I think the only way you would get noise is if they are next to were the bag is or above. Mine is in the garage and the only noise we here is when you are impacting the bag and even that is muffled by the walls and insulation

The drums have decent tone. However, the symbol leaves a little something to be desired. An easy cheap fix if it bothers you that much. Hope this helps, my son absolutely loves his drums! I did eventually go buy another six inch cymbal though.

Yes, it will work. I use it for my drums and it easily dampens the sound. If you desire additional dampening, all you need to do is add another layer. It absorbs the sound for multiple purposes. If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know. Thanks,KRM

I would think that normal ear defenders or mufflers would be better,these will dampen sound but are designed to shut of the amplified sound when a gun is fired for a fraction of a second then will go back to normal.I use these for shooting trap.

Yeah, that's kind of true. You should probably get one with an actual base drum pedal if that bothers you. It doesn't bother me though, it's easier to hit the pedal. They're good. --my son, N.

it will help some but I use my Fat Mat for a pumped 212cc engine in an enclosed engine box (for a boat). I have some of the same issues and found that I have become an expert custom exhaust builder to reduce a lot of noise from my motor. In your case look for a silencer as well.
