Can this be used as a strong sound barrier? I'm thinking of somehow hanging it as curtains (behind my panels) or lining my indoor HVAC area with it.

This film is so thin that it will not attenuate much sound at all. You would be much better off with traditional sound absorbing panels.

I'd install some type of insulation.....because you will hear noise on these. Not terrible at all, though.

We didn't have much luck covering the wall. This works great for filling cracks around doors and windows. We were trying to insulate the entire wall system in a 10x20 shed. It would probably reduce the noise but to get the foam to fill the area you are trying to fill may take a couple of bottles. I know for our project it would've taken several bottles. We couldn't get it to spray in layers....it sprayed in streams. The foam expanded and filled cracks and small voids wonderfully. It should reduce sound tho' for sure.

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 used this for packing items when I moved. I do know that it would be good for insulation of your home if attached over your windows. Do not know about soundproofing or other outdoor noise. I imagine it would help keep some noise out.GOOD LUCK.

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

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.

This will not work. It's made of a breathable material. It does little to block sound.

Depends on what you want to achieve. This is an acoustic barrier for absorbing sound and to prevent a speaker enclosure from resonating. If you could elaborate on why you want to use it in a computer, I may be able to guide you here.

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

I wouldn't see why not. It is made as a heat barrier. Can also be used a sound reducer.

These panels absorb echo, not noise necessarily. Hanging them on the wall to try blocking rattling pipes may muffle the noise a little but not that much. Any padding you give the pipes INSIDE the wall (standard insulation or the foam thermal insulating tubes) would work best for eliminating a rattle - a much better fix and drywall isn't that hard to patch. Good luck!

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

It's very good quality soundproofing. As long as it's tightly fastened in place with good adhesive tape. I suggest Ape Tape. It's high quality and made by 3M. Each panel is 1 sq. ft. It comes in a package of 12 covering a total of 12 sq. ft. 20 X 20 is 400 sq. ft. So, you would need 33 and 1/3 packages to cover that much. A rule of acoustics is if 3% of the area is exposed 50% of the noise gets through.

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

this should work well for you. it's not overly noisy but enough so that it drowns out most everything else. i use it for the same purpose, and i'm very pleased with it.

Acoustic foam is not intended to be used as a sound barrier. It will not keep sound in or sound out although it may lead to some attenuation of the transmitted signal. Foam is intended to reduce sound reflections within the room and to deaden the sound of a space. Soundproofing is an entirely different application which required floating walls/floors/ceilings and sound barrier materials.
