My window is a wooden bay window and can always hear flight sound. Can I use this for window soundproofing?

I think you may need something more heavy duty, this only helps minimally, that's my opinion though.

I used it around my apartment front door and it cut the noise transfer by about 65-70%, which was enough for me. It was a little thick, so for a while I had to pull harder to deadbolt the door. IF you don't have double paned glass windows, I don't think it will work nearly as well for you as it did for me. You might have to use something that covers the glass.

It should not be, did you mount it securely? is it vibrating the window that isnt fully secured properly with the foam insulation to deaden noise and insulate against heat getting in? Has it been noisy since day one? what sort of noise is it? rattling is likely window vibration due to not being securely mounted, if its not that, its possibly a bad part in the blower. if its a squealing its definitely a bad part. if its metalic grinding its a bearing. we need more info.

Absolutely not. My window is the same. This thing is garbage. I'd definitely get a different one.

I wouldn't expect it to be effective in reducing noise -- it's a very thin piece of plastic (maybe 3x as thick as Saran wrap)that sticks on the window.

I think this material is used more as a bass trap and diffuser than sound proofing. It probably doesn't work any better than regular insulation for that job. There are sound blocking materials out there that work very well.

I haven't used it in that capacity, but I've used it in my noise pumper truck. With the windows open, I could hear clearly and be heard easily. I hope that helps. Our truck drivers really like it.

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 has worked great for ventilation in the back windows of my Pathfinder but, as te picture shows, the window is still about half way up and I imagine the scratching could still e a problem. Good luck!

If it's right next to your window and it's open, yes you'll be able to hear it, even at the low setting. But more than 20 feet away with the window closed, you won't.

No. Basically, you're experiencing the sucky part of apartment living. This is for sound absorption, not soundproofing. Soundproofing is typically done by installing mineral wool or other soundproofing materials in the walls, floors, and ceilings during construction of a unit. Acoustic foam only absorbs and displaces sound waves emanating in a room (e.g. they make an "echoey" room less "echoey"). Sound Proofing = stopping of sound waves, as in moving from room to room like your noisy neighbor. Sound Absorption = absorbs extra sound waves in a particular space. Trust me, there is nothing you can buy on the internet that will fix your noisy neighbor problem. A better solution would be to ask said neighbor to observe more respectable noise levels appropriate for apartment living.

With this underlay it should be very quiet compared to just using felt paper. It will greatly minimize sound transmission .

It blocks out sound quite well. I have it nailed to my window and I hardly hear anything save the soft wailing of the siren of a fire engine or ambulance.

This one is pretty quiet. It will hummm but not vibrate. If you are hearing a vibration is is more than likely coming from the unit vibrating on an aluminum or other rigid window. I initially had this issue, then put some supports on the back of the unit so it wouldn't vibrate on the window itself.

To answer your question, i foamed out one side panel, the top and bottom panels, rear panel and even had extra for some edges and harddrive bays.My other side panel is the window facing away from me and i did not put any padding on it. Helped reduce my noise. You can easily cut it to fit and use how ever much you desire. You want quiet fans first to begin with so buy quality, consider using this foam as a finisher for the interior and reduce it a few decibles further.

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...

Never thought of using one of these to sound proof a room, guess it could work. We used spray foam insullation

I don't think so. If it is too loud, you could try setting a glass over it. Even though I wish it were quieter sometimes, there are other times when I am glad that I can hear it when I am not close to it.
