my bathroom door as a pretty large gap at the bottom. Would this work to improve soundproofing?

Yes! I put it up to hold my A/C in, and was surprised to find it also blocks a lot of sound! I love it!

I don't think so. The guard itself is very flimsy and moves while you open and close the door, sometimes blocking the door! Don't buy it, buy something thats of harder material.

It probably won't help with a large gap. I used this one for soundproofing on a door with a small gap. There is another product that is similar but has larger diameter tubes. It is the Hampton Direct Twin Draft Guard also sold on Amazon. None of these will really soundproof a room but the Hampton Direct will get closer. With some clever tweaks on your part, you should get a workable solution.

No, this won't work for soundproofing. Works great as a basstrap though (acoustic treatment). For soundproofing you need specialty insulation and drywall, and probably double layers of each.

Maybe a tiny bit but its only thick tape not a miracle. Get a new heavy double pane window for noise not tape...

It would probably knock the sound down enough, but I'd also ask the house management to do something to slow the door down as it closes to make it less noticeable.

I would assume any padding will lessen the noise. I have this setup in garage so I can't speak from experience. Maybe someone who has similar setup to your will have a more concrete answer.

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.

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.

It should. Does not have to cover the whole door just around speaker and maybe spaced out evenly over door. You just want the to keep from vibrating.

Yes, I believe this Marpac would help. It may not completely eliminate noisy neighbor sounds, but when placed properly within the room it will definitely help.

This is not the correct solution for that type of problem. If you are trying to soundproof one existing wall then there are many other solutions sandwiching drywall or using mountable sound reduction panels. If you are considering making a sort of open box or actual standing partition to help with some small noise reduction, then something like foam insulation boards (google generator hush box) would be much more practical.

It might be too far away from the floor. My doors were about 2 inches from the floor and it was not long/tall enough to secure the door.

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.

There should be no gap - there was none when I installed it. Either something is not lined up right or you have a narrower than normal door.

I placed the threshold so it comes up to the stripping I have on the door. It doesn't make the best seal and I am considering getting a different bottom seal.

this item is surface mountedyour concern is whether or not there's a large enough gap between the door and the door frame

I bought it for the cushioning but mostly for being a moisture barrier for a single story slab home . If you plan on installing your new flooring on a second story or higher, or on a pier and beam foundation, a lot depends on your sub floor. Call the company. It isn't labeled as a sound proofing product and there might be a better product for your purpose.

No, this is not the best product for sound insulation on a door. There are many online videos that show how to use thick, rigid foam insulation for that. This product is more for dealing with vibration rattles or acting as a seal to keep out dust, etc in harsh environments where a material like neoprene will last longer.
