I want to cover some metal surfaces in a closet to prevent sound bouncing off the metal when I record vocals in there. Would this foam work for that?

This foam definitely reduced our sound leakage. We used it to wrap an amp box to block sounds releasing and allows us to Mic the amp.

Pretty sure that's what is designed for. I used it to make a cylindrical sound baffle for the loud fan noise in a growroom for a friend instead of buying one and it worked great. Hope this helps

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.

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

Shouldn't be a problem. Make sure your paint will stick to the plastic housing. Masque the foam sound slots to prevent paint from getting on the foam and reducing the sound output.

I think that it could be used for that. I think a foam one might work better for that purpose.

yes.it would work well, although have you ever thought about using spray foam ?

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 would. Just be mindful of the thickness of te vinyl. A 1/4 or 1/2 inch would be ideal. The number one thing for noise reduction is layering. Multiple layers of different materials help in reducing noise dramatically. I hope this helps

Yes it will help- it is meant for temp insulation, but it also helps with sound to a lesser degree.

I would say it is dense foam. It probably would. I just have speakers in without angle.

Nope. Just metal. I guess you can glue some foam underneath with 3-in-1 craft glue. That stuff works pretty well.

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

it will definitely kill the echos and stop the sound from bouncing off any surface. you dont have to fill the room with the acoustic foam as well distributed sections will do the job. the color combination also helps the decoration.

I think if you cover most of the metal with this stuff it will help. It keeps noise out but also acts as a insulater. Busses are cold because they are huge, the heat system isn't always the best and they are metal with no Insalation

It depends if this installation is permanent or not. (If permanent - I would a spray glue from 3mthat is not going to dissolve the foam from 3m - I made a vocal isolation unit as I used this in my studio - you could buy some Velcro sticky pads too.

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