Can you use this on doors in your house to silence a room?

The Dynamats are probably more useful in a car. They are extremely sticky and can never be removed without severe damage to the surface. I suggest that a stereo store may sell some type of soundproofing or check with a musical instrument store in your area.

I suppose you could, but is there a reason you do not use regular acoustic insulation that you can get at your local DIY store? It is designed for home use, and should be thicker.

I am not an expert on Dynamat, but here are my thoughts from my experience with cars. Dynamat seems to reduce noise primarily by reducing vibration transmitted thru sheet metal in cars. The vibration usually come from car speakers in the door (very effective) rt large steel panels like floor boards that resonate sound. If your door is metal, Dynamat might help. If the door is wooden, I have serious doubts it would help but I have no experience here. What I do know about doors is that hollow core doors are less effective than solid wood doors in blocking sound. Sorry I couldn't be or more help.

Sorry Timsrr, this will not silence a room. It may dampen the sound a little. Now I have tested how much Dynamat and Fatmat can dampen sound and vibration. Now Fatmat is the same as Dynamat but less in price. The thicker the mat, the more it will dampen sound but will not stop all sound. I used Dynamat in a S10 pickup that was getting a lot of road noise when driving. The road noise was about how two people would talk to each other. After the Dynamat. The road noise became a whisper, but still noticeable. Fatmat did the same thing as the Dynamat did. Now on the car audio side both work great for vibration and stopping panel noise.

I would not use this for soundproofing doors in a house. It is more for silencing rattles and vibration in cars.

Since you can not be in the same room or rooms it is hard to say. I had it ine closed off room with another door to the adjoining room closed & could not hear it loudly. Please keep in mind it is a heavy duty industrial ozone generator. You can not stay in the same space with it anyway.

I think so. My basement is not particularly damp, but I have curtains that, after hanging a while, started to develop a smell. I sprayed them with Smells Begone and it did the job. Seems to neutralize most odors without just covering them up.

If you're trying not disturb anyone else that may be in the next room ain't gonna happen. It's a machine, it makes noise. Is it extreme? No. Would you be able to epilate and go un noticed? No. Slitely more noise than an electric face shaver but much less than a hair blow dryer. Does this help?

They would probably work pretty well as far as blocking out those noises once you are already asleep or are falling asleep. They are good for muffling those kind of noises well but not so good at deep rumbling noises that kind of shake the walls. I guess that's a good thing though, so you could still hear someone banging on the door if necessary.

I have never tried it behind closed doors but I have used it when my bedroom door was cracked open. The best usage is having a fairly open area. Good luck. I love mine and the neighbors howling dogs hate it!

I have always used it in a house but don't think it would be a problem! It is pretty quiet.
1983659
Absolutely. That's how I use it. Keep in mind, though, that you should use it on the side of the door that will pull the door closed, not open. That way you are using the strength of the whole jam, not just the latch. In most houses, that puts you in the hallway. Same with hotel rooms.

It's worth a try. I covered my living room wall with this to dampen neighbor's noise. It dampens the noise from outside by maybe 20-30 percent.

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

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.

These are more sound "dampeners" than they are sound "proofers." I am using them in a small conference room to eliminate echoes on the speaker phone and they work well. They will of course absorb some of the sound coming through your wall, but probably not the amount you hope. You probably need something solid.

Yes. I use it at home when my husband is sleeping in the same room. Even if the house is completely quiet I can't hear the clicks.

I would say yes. I use it in a drum/music room to quiet the noise. But anywhere you put heavy equipment it will leave a permanent indentation.

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.
2223489
Yes most definitely. They block out barking dogs, so they'll help with noisy dorms. I've used them in foreign countries where my hotel room overlooked busy train stops and noisy walkways and have been very impressed with their effectiveness. The nice aspect about these is that they generate white noise, which is very effective at blocking noise.

Maybe a little bit, but it's not really the intended purpose. This is more just to deaden the sound of the room, getting rid of a little bit of echo and ringing.
