I'm installing an interior wall for a music teaching studio to sound proof from neighbors. will this work as insulation between the drywall? If not, is there something that will?

If sound proofing is what u need just insulation isn't really going to do much. Visit AVS forum and look at the sound proofing sticky in the dedicated theater/ construction section. That's the best advise I can give you.

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.

Yes, it'll work very well to dampen the sound, but it won't actually "soundproof" it. You'll need to get that black "soundproofing" stuff to hang between the insulation and drywall.

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.

While I love the Rockboard I bought thru Amazon for between the wall insulation I'd probably go with a thick fiberglass insulation instead (R30 or R38 if it will fit.). At that point I'd buy some Rockboard and make some panels to hang on the wall to make the room sound better. Good luck!

Hi Chad.Yes. I'd put them on opposing walls and on as many surfaces as I can. The idea behind this foam isn't sound attenuation its sound treatment. You want to reduce or eliminate as much sound wave bounce or natural echo as you can. I hope that was helpful. Good luck on your build.

If you are trying to put it between walls, similar to between outside sheathing and inside wall covering (ie:between outside wall and inside sheetrook) it is not likely to work well as you need room to spray it. I does not work like expanding foam. It give off a lot of fumes when sprayed.

They are really made to reduce "Reflections" of sound in a room, Might not reduce noise that much on the other side of a wall, you would need a more dense material to block the sound. Would be better of with sound proofing or deadening sheets if you are able to install. Also quietrock.com drywall, but you probably can't do that much to the apartment.

This would not be good for speaker insulation. Go get some ownens pink fiberglass from somewhere like home depot, I use 4" thick. The sound needs to go through the insulation to the box yet be deadened a little, this will probably deaden it too much.

Yes, it should do a good job to keep out drywall dust. However, I ended up removing it due to condensation buildup while using it

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.

It could help, I've used mine in a small green house I made to help keep the soil temperature up, it does not keep too much moisture it stays dry enough to grow in. I'm sure this would work another option is call a vapor barrier that would help water proofing with out the insulation it is often used in home and basements to keep mold from growing. Hope this helps.

I don't think it will do much, if you have normal neighbors and just want to quiet down a tv on the other side it might help muffle slightly. Think if it as ceral cardboard box material, maybe a little thicker but not as thick as cardboard. if you glued it to the wall its gonna do something but not a way whole lot. for the noise or for insulation. and the stuff is way to expensive. Personaly I'd go with something else Heck even cardboard egg crates and roll or blown in insulation might be better for neighbors noise... hope this helps.

I bought this once before to put along the shared wall in an apartment. Before laying out the felt you could hear the neighbor as if he was in the same room with us. After the installation you could hear slight muffled noise. Not 100% noise cancelation but it made a great difference.I actually used felt and a foam and carboard combination. Since you are only using it on the doors you should have enough do do a few layers. I would recommend one layer felt, one layer cardboard and one layer felt. Multiple layers for the sound to get trough will help with the noise.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

Hello. As a purchaser of this product, I have been asked to answer your question. This stuff is super tough. However, it has limited spring in the material. It would definitely serve as a sound barrier. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Yes but did not use insulation. I think the settings can be changed to reduce the frequency of the fan turning on if the sound is bothering you. Not completely sure about that.

The product is a thin, light weight foam strip with adhesive on one side. I used it to seal air gaps around the window discharge hose for a portable A/C unit in a bedroom. In my opinion there is not enough mass in the foam to effectively limit sound transmission. Of course, anything would block some sound, but I feel 100% certain that this would not be effective for what you are trying to do.

If the wall is insulated it will probably be alright, but if it is not insulated the sound might be too loud.

Hello, You would need to insulate space between floors. That could be a major renovation. Normal insulation(fiberglass) would help a lot, but noise dampening type would be better. Either way it could be a major cost.
