I would like to put this between the back of my hot tub and my neighbors wall outside.will it block construction noise 30 feet from windows?

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.

If it's right next to your window and it's open, yes you'll be able to hear it, even at the low setting. But more than 20 feet away with the window closed, you won't.

possibly, but it's going to take a lot of expensive MLV. you won't be able to determine any benefit until most or all of your side of the wall is covered. sound transmission like this is hard to stop. you might test it out first by buying a few square feet of MLV first and just hold it up between your ear and the wall to see if it makes a difference. you are on the right track, adding any kind material which adds significant additional mass to your side the wall will help stop the sound transmission. if you own the condo, a cheaper option in the long run might be to have additional layers of run of the mill gypsum wallboard or sheetrock (not 'light-weight' or 'ultra-light', you want the heavy stuff here) added to your side of the shared wall. I've seen a total of 2,3 even 4 layers of wall board used if long enough fasteners are used. If you can spare the permanent loss of a few more inches of floor space, to have built a new floating wall, close to but not touching the existing wall and mechanically isolated from the floor and ceiling as well, then surfaced with the new 2 or 3 layers of new wall board -- separate walls is a common sound proofing technique for shared walls like yours in the original construction. you can get a sense of this by getting a 2' square piece of sheetrock from your local big-box home store (typically sold for wall repairs) and do the same 'hold up between your ear and the noisy TV wall' test. Good luck.

I think that might work. It would stop the sound once closed. A motion detector might also work. This brand works great.

Yes however, my neighbor's keep covering it because they can hear every setting volume across the street. Its not effective on the animals anyway. Only neighbor's.

I use it as a makeshift door for my room above the garage. I can hardly hear any noise at all coming from downstairs. If you tacked them on the wall adjacent to a noisy neighbor it would for sure cut down on the sound.

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

It cuts down on noise but doesn't completely block it out. Certainly less noise then if the window was open without the a/c in place.

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.

I don't live close enough to an airport to know for sure, but I can tell you that it absolutely blocks out the noise of a fleet of snowploughs and snowblowers clearing the street in front of my house, so my best guess would be "yes". Not all settings would work well for this, of course. I find the "rainfall" and "brook" settings best for blocking out random noises, while other settings like "train" or "meadow" seem better for situations where you just need soothing sounds to help you relax. I have not tried other noise machines (other than our summertime, window-mounted air conditioner), so I can't offer a meaningful comparison with other products. I hope this helps with your decision.

This would depend on many variables of the building such as size of building, openness, how sound proof, etc. I will say that it is quite loud and I can hear it over the printer in my office which is at least 35 feet from the outer office and front door. I am very pleased with this product.

Hi, I have used this product with no customer complaints.... However if you are experiencing noise, you can use an insulator of some sort such as ice and water shield. Every situation can be different but try the above. Hope this helps...

It probably will cancel the traffic noise but the beat from the bass from the bar definitely will still vibrate through your apartment. There's little you can do about unwanted vibration except move!

I'm sorry for the delayed response. We are new to Amazon and I have just found these unanswered questions! We use the quietest 60 mm computer fan on the market, 20 decibels is the rated noise level. We've been installing these on boats and have found that the sound cannot be heard outside of the head (bathroom), only about 5 feet away with the door open. The advantage to our system is that the fan is located at the exhaust end, independent of the toilet. So it can be mounted in a place that will shield the area from noise. I hope that answers your question, Geoff

The white noise setting pretty much does, although some of the other settings may not, as the sound is more intermittent. However, I'm not sure if it would block neighbors from hearing you, although probably, but only if you place it near the wall you share with them. It will block you from hearing them, though.

I don't know how much decibels this will reduce. it is very effective against noise but think twice before you purchase it. it is expensive and very heavy. hard to install and it will be hard to put a drywall on it because of all the wrinkles.

No it will not help. All you will be able to hear is the back-ground noise. You will not be able to hear the people close to you. You would be better to get a device with volume control.
