Audimute Sound Absorption Sheet - Sound Dampening Blanket - Soundproofing Sheet (Black)

I saw these being used by a seasoned (17+yrs) pro Voiceover Artist on his YouTube channel, chatting about soundproofing your booth / recording space ... and he recommended them highly, so I ordered two to see what the deal was... and they are very, very sound absorbing.. and I use them inside my own Sound Booth (front and back), along with other acoustic panels on the sides... but these, being 4ft x 8ft, are very good, but not exactly lightweight.. and thick enough to dampen any sound... I bought one black, and one white.Highly recommended!

for those looking to block sound, I'll tell you how below.a couple things first:1.) these do not block sound. they do not offer to do so. if you go to the Audimute website, you can find a lot of info on how to block sound. You're looking at a fairly major investment. Their isole blanket will block a window or doorway somewhat. Tips on how to block sound further down.2.) these DO actually absorb sound and give a room audio treatment. They are superior to the adhesive foam panels, giving you more square footage of coverage AND better absorption per square foot for generally less money.OK. People looking to "block sound" see below. remember you're thinking in terms of sheer mass between you and the sound source and sealing air gaps. There is no magical substance that will block sound but be relatively light and non intrusive.First, do you rent or do you own? (further down if you own)If you rent, consider getting some closed headphones. If you like quality sound, consider Audiotechnica M50's although any closed headphones will do. Or some comfortable shooting/construction earmuffs. Some of them have built in headphones for listening to things as well. Also consider a white noismaking machine. You could replace a hollow core door to a bedroom with a solid core and add weather stripping to block sound from a living room if your landlord allows it. If your neighbor likes bass heavy stuff, it will be incredibly difficult and expensive to block the bass part of the sound. You'd be better off getting them to stop making the noise or moving.To not modify the structure you are living in but block sound for a ROOM, you would need to sort of build a room within a room. You could lay down a floor made of rubber exercise flooring (the kind on which you put heavy exercise equipment) then build a box on it (possibly with Ikea Billy shelves? The books would help further dampen sound) - with glassed in windows if you like - with a roof. You'd want to coat that box in Mass Loaded Vinyl and then add some Roxul or Corning 703 paneling on sides and top. Use Green Glue to seal all cracks. Give it an exterior with plywood, wood paneling, whatever. Put more mass loaded vinyl on the inside of that sheathing if you like. You'll want a HEAVY solid core door with high quality weather stripping to get in. You'll want to remember ventilation - a long baffled tube for air to come in and another go out and a fan to move it.There, now you can block sound as a renter - simply build your own structure isolated from the existing structure --- resting on the rubber flooring with its own ceiling with walls and ceiling not touching the existing walls and ceiling and with the proper soundproofing, it WILL block sound.If you OWN your home, then add drywall like soundbreak XP over all the walls and ceiling of the room. Put in a dampened rubber floor and put more flooring or carpeting over that if you want. Replace the existing door with a heavy solid core door with weather stripping all the way around. Add sound - baffled ventilation with a fan - making sure to provide both a way IN and a way OUT for air that are not too close together. If you need to block sounds coming through the window, try a heavy, thick rubber-gasketed piece of plexiglass cut to fit and inserted in the window frame if you can. (again, it is often simply a matter of MASS to absorb and stop sound. that and establishing an air seal)Even adding another layer of drywall of any kind using Green Glue can probably give a homeowner a decrease in sound from noisy neighbors. Or you can put a layer of Mass Loaded Vinyl in between the old and new drywall layers.Hopefully it can be understood now how much was being asked of an audio blanket when people said it didn't block sound.

I used this for sound absorbing in my home studio. I did not want to put a panel on the door so I used this and it works perfectly to absorb some reflections from my speakers

The traffic noise coming through my window was driving me nuts. This thing very substantially deadened the noise to the point where I hardly notice it. I literally just draped the lengthy blanket over the curtain rail so I have also got the benefit of a partial doubling-up of the muting effect. I've now bought a second blanket just for good measure and will quadruple-up! The best money I ever spent. Sincerely.

Actually this is great product in the first place. We have 2 of them right now so that when our newborn baby is crying in one room you can't hear anything in the other.What I don't like:We bought 2 sheets on Jul 17, 2023.At some point one of them fractured internally (inside is a material which can be easily be damaged, but it's not a problem). And we decided to order another one for replacement by following to the same link from old orders. So actually I've ordered the same product on Nov 30, 2023. But surpassingly we got a little bit different product. It's more light weight, and it seems that it absorbs less noise. If I put new sheet against the sun light I see some kind of empty spaces. I guess new material is more sparse.
