Will this help someone living in a basement apt that can hear tv, talking, walking, etc from upstairs tenant with hardwood floors and no insulation?

It has worked great for me in basement with ditectly above the bedroom carpted area with the m/c on side table next to bed. Can't say for uninsulated & non-carpted area. Keep in mind that everyone has their own sensitivity level for noise. I have been using this for past 6 yrs and even take it with me during travel.

Yes, I believe this Marpac would help. It may not completely eliminate noisy neighbor sounds, but when placed properly within the room it will definitely help.

It depends on the volume of the noise. This device works for me because it does a great job of drowning out the sounds that normal traffic will make.... unfortunately more stand out noises (example; motorcycles and sirens from ambulances) are still heard loud and clear. So i would say try it out and see if it works for your specific needs.

We use it in a townhouse with very thin shared walls. We have one in each kid's room and they sleep soundly, even with loud 20somethings next door.

I don't think it will stop all that type of noise. I'm sorry. Hope you can find a solution.

I can't promise that it would cut all the noise out; but it at least mutes it. I bought one years ago; because my husband snores. Hope this helps you.

I have mine in the basement. I can hear it from the top of the basement stairs but do not hear it in the living room above the basement. There shouldn't be any problem with adjacent apartments.

i do not think that the will help-what you can try is curtains on the wall and maybe one or two sofa also you must remember an empty room sounds different without people. shane

If your floors are carpeted, that would help. I also think it might depend on your particular apartment building and how much noise you hear from your neighbors. The rebounder isn't especially noisy.

It helps since i live in an apartment building. But the door still leeks sound but from what i can tell the product does help a little. make sure your door is not too big for the product when you buy it because when i got it it was just the right size to fit my door.

Hi, Not really. What I can tell you is that, when the unit did work, it kept a 480 sq/ft area comfortable. I would not believe the "vent less" statement. You do need some air exchange otherwise, you start having headaches. I'd find a different way to take the chill off your basement. Also, do not expect any help from ProCom, customer service is non-responsive. I have tried to get some help from them for over a month, I can't get through. You may want to keep that in mind. I hope this helps.

Not really. I wouldn't want to be in the same room with it while watching tv or carrying on a conversation. Works great though and I don't worry so much about the noise in the basement. The in-laws did leave it on while sleeping down there, with no complaints, but just as background noise.

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.

I'm pretty sure it can help with that, mine is outdoors, my neighbor's cat kept coming to my backyard and peeing there, it has really worked to stop that. I use a higher frequency than 1 and still can't hear it. :)

We have a two floor house and it would be tough to hear it if I was upstairs on the opposite end of the house. But otherwise it has proven adequate

I tried mine with speaker in basement and transmitter upstairs with no problems. It will depend on wall construction.

Yes, I think so. I live in a single story house. My husband can't hear it in his office which is next door. I love it, hope you will too!

If you leave the TV loud you will hear both but at a level others use no feedback. We don't have a normal sized house and you can walk all around and still hear fine. Even out into the garage.

I dont live in an apartment building. However, I dont believe it makes any difference. The product works by emitting some sort of sound that is not audible to humans. It was very effective in my kitchen, keeping mice away and now, I have them plugged into other rooms where mice were less of a problem. Have not seen any indication of mice there. We unplug it at times when our cat is roaming around. Also, it makes a slight clicking noise. Using it at night has been effective for us.

it is very quiet like a dull pop but if people 20 feet away if outside might hear it. if they are inside they will not. if you have a basement try it there

Yes it can. It sound proofs the area and makes the floor softer. Best we have ever used worth the money

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.
