TroyStudio Thickened Acoustic Panels, 16 x 12 x 0.5 Inches Pack of 6 Felt Wall Decor Tiles Sound Absorbing Board, Noise Reverb Echo Dampening Soundproof Padding for Door Music Recording Home Studio

I used these 1/2" thick felt panels to tone down the booming sound from the 6.5" subwoofer of my DIY computer sound system. (I had placed it in the less than ideal alcove space beneath the desk in my small, carpeted home office.) Strategically attaching halves of a few of the 12 x 16 panels to the walls and ceiling of the 'woofer cave' (with either 3/4" long washer head screws or 1" square velcro tabs) helps to absorb some of the reflected excess bass. Together with a 9 band equalizer, they were able to make my poorly placed subwoofer's sound tighter, less flabby and much improved. They can be cut neatly with a few repeated slices made by a sharp utility knife guided by a straight edge. The black color I selected makes them visually disappear down there, but I can hear the improvement.

I used these to deaden the sound of my hammering in my jewelry studio. My studio was converted from a plant are on an apartment patio and had open slatted top counters, which I covered with a thin plywood. I wanted to make sure my hobby wouldn’t disturb the neighbors, so I cut these boards to size to fit under the plywood. They work perfectly and absorb the thuds from my hammer! Not their intended purpose, but they are good quality and worked well for my needs.

On the one hand, these work well for what they’re intended to do. By ear, they reduce room reverb as least as well as acoustic wedge foam. I’d be harder on the reviews complaining about soundproofing effectiveness (this is probably not the best tool for that), if the description didn’t include the word “soundproofing”. They’re pretty rigid and command strips stick well directly, both of which make them less work to hang than foam. They’re about three times heavier, with no noticeable odor. White acoustic foam is almost impossible to find, and the one source I’ve seen wasn’t fire retardant. This is at least white-ish, and fire rated. On the other hand, they’re not 16x12. They’re very precisely cut to 15 3/4” x 11 7/8”. This doesn’t really affect coverage, but does make placing them by measurement harder and the error can visibly add up. The ‘white’ color is a very light grey with a blue cast, I’m okay with them on a white ceiling but wouldn’t put them on a white wall. Picture attached showing both measurement and comparison with white (under ~2800K light). Still giving them four stars because they work well (I ordered more after trying them out), but I wish the description was more accurate especially the measurement.

Nice dense aound-deadening pads, easy to cut and fit, good damping quality and decent price.

These are the best acoustic panels for sound proofing (dulling noise) I've found so far. However, the white color options do not match - at least between sizes. In the pic is a smaller (soft white) and the larger panel which is also suppose to be soft white but clearly they are different shades of white. The product label also shows as "soft white" but I don't know if the large were the regular white and the label was inaccurate.

Used these to make boxes for in ceiling surround sound speakers. Everything worked out great and when I have guests in the rooms above they don't hear anything.

My indoor plant lite has a timer that has gotten old and noisy. I made a hood from this felt. It did the trick. My daughters also used pieces as underlays for their sewing, quilting machines. They report the felt quiets those machines as well

I am a long time (50yrs) software engineer and the server on my desk was "noisy". Nothing wrong with it but simply machine noise. I bought these and put one between me and the server. WOW! What a difference! When I find time I'm going to build an enclosure and line it with these...probably silent at that point. Definitely recommend.

These panels do not have a noticeable odour. I mounted the large tiles to the walls of my music studio with large black command strip picture hangers for easy removal when the time comes. I used medium command strips for the smaller panels. I just pressed the strip pairs in each corner and positioned them on the walls. They have been hanging for weeks without issue - easy peasy. Alien tape would be a cheaper option but it is harder to remove without damaging the walls in my experience. I think these panels look much nicer than the egg carton and waffle foam panels although they are considerably more expensive. They have removed unwanted echo from my sound room. The provided dimensions are accurate and the colour was consistent across the packs of large and smaller charcoal panels that I purchased. I am very satisfied with this product.

Since I'm a musician, I soundproofed my room with those, and they are very dense and block the sound out very well. They are also great for sound treatment.

Not exactly cheap but they do the job

This stuff works good. It does not include an adhesive backing, so you will have to use fasteners or another method to adhered it to surfaces. I tried lighting some off-cuts on fire and they did in fact sustain a flame quite well. The material has a non-flammable rating, but I have my doubts. So keep that in mind when installing.

Great product but I bought 4 boxes and need probably 2 more , hopefully they get more stock ?
