Will it keep out the crackles?

Yes. The size of the wire mesh around the feeder tube is far too small to allow grackles or anything larger than the smaller hedge birds; chickadee, wren, finch sized birds. I've had to replace the center tube as the plastic died from three years of UV exposure. Not hard to do and a $7 tube from Lowes was an almost perfect fit. I also created a coroplast cover to keep off the rain and discovered it gave some immumity to the smaller birds from a local Kestrel. Zero squirrel access.

Yes it does. The Red Bellied Woodpecker's bill is long enough to reach in and grab a peanut which made me very happy. I did purchase a similar bird feeder (Brown from Home Depot) that had a larger tube middle and less curvature to the cage and the Grackles could get the seed then. I was actually thinking of purchasing another one of these so that I could have more seed types out. Hope that helps. :-)

It keeps out grackles and starlings. But it also keeps out cardinals. Only small birds can get in.

i would think they'd do the trick for you. they don't block out everything, but definitely take the "hard edges" off sound. i work in a very noisy office, and since using these, nobody is in danger of getting smacked anymore <grin>

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.

It helps, not total blockage, I have it coming from my utility room to the kitchen it softens the noise. better than nothing. I wish it were made better

No it does not avoid blocking the speakers but if it is to low you may not hear it as well.

Not particularly. I used it for sanding and the noise needs to be lessened with earplugs.

not likely. Some work to reduce or block certain types of noise. Such as airplane engine noise, but not loud music.

It should be fine on the low setting. Even if it's a bit too loud for your taste, you can always place a dish towel over it to muffle it a bit more!

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

I suppose it depends on how sensitive your hearing is, and how well you can tolerate quiet background noise. I found it quiet enough for it's location, ie, attic vent.

If my husband has the stereo too loud in the next room I can still hear the bass tones. This machine reduces noise but doesn't block out noise. I live on a busy street and it greatly reduces street noises.

Not completely. I have not found anything that will do that as much as try to advertise! I wear them everynight because they do block most ambient sound i.e. fans, tv's down low.

It may mask some of the noise if run on the high setting, but I don't think it will drown out the sounds.

It reduces the noise somewhat. I only covered a door but I figure it you use it over a larger area you will have silence

No. They provide a substantial reduction in the level of the noise, but you can still hear things muffled.

It should reduce it but be aware that each panel weighs about 10 lbs. It also depends on a lot of factors. All around dampening or noise reducing products only reduce noise. Blocking all noise and completely soundproofing is best handled by pros and expensive (think recording studios). It also depends on your window and walls. Insulation in the walls or thicker sheetrock reduces noise. Properly sealing Windows does too. I put a panel on two windows closet to an annoying and loud dog behind our house. It sounds better but not as much as I would have liked for the cost. Found out later that these walls are not insulated.

It may help you but I cannot say for sure. At the least it may minimize the interference noise coming from the device. On some days my radio interference in my garage is completely quieted and some days it is only lessened.
