Soundproof Door Panel - Does It Work? Full DB Test

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

Pretty good indication of what to expect. But it would be nice if you had a pair of monitors on one side, that would play a sound through all audible frequencies and then on the other side a sound analyzer (phone with an app) with a mic on a fixed distance that would draw a frequency line, so then not only do you know by how much the volume is decreased but also which frequencies.

[@soundproofguide]

Interesting. Great information for a future video! Thanks

[@MachoMaster]

Can anyone recommend such android apps?

[@dlindy9143]

They want $616 dollars for only a few decibles of sound deadening??? Yikes... You could just get a solid wood or steel door for cheaper than that.

[@94SexyStang]

Wrong....this is sound BLOCKING......wood can't do that.

[@gotmilk1331]

How much is a solid core door???

Or you could do both haha

You know decibels are logarithmic, right?

[@helennethers9777]

If this was like max $130 i would buy. Will those tapes with vecro to the door remove paint when u take it off? I'm asking for the renters out there

[@ianwalton7893]

If I was going to have something that ugly (and I dare say expensive) hanging on my door I'd want to be certain it would reduce some serious noise. The levels you were testing at don't really help clarify this that much. 50 - 60 db is pretty much average everyday noise. I wonder if this blankets efficiency would drop off drastically if you were starting with 80 - 90db inside the room for the test?

[@therealjclap]

Right?! I was thinking the same thing. The noises should've been more extreme; high end and low end

[@brobob52]

What curtain can reduce a decent amount of sound going out

[@0000song0000]

i think filling the doors would reduce more noise (at least mines are wood, but made of panels over a frame, completely empty inside). I agree that even hard Cardboard works better than that blanket (i have been using th eopen box of my 50" tv as a panel... i put it on top of the curtain loking it with some stands... or over my door when there's visitors 😁)

[@sinajafarzadeh9577]

Can we install it on both sides of a door to increase the reduction in dB?

[@Fire-in-the-sky]

It's 600 each, at that point you have better options

[@BananasananaB]

I wonder what sticking Mass Loaded Vinyl to the door would do in the same test? That's a lot more affordable. One could probably treat both sides of a door for less than the cost of this one blanket cover.

[@darriuswilliams6007]

Things I hate is over talking when I just wanna see if this works

[@Allthatwethink]

Bruh tell me about it😩

[@Polentaccio]

Essentially just buy mass loaded vynil sheeting, stick it on your door, put fiberhlass on top of that, throw a blanket over top. This however looks much nicer lol.

[@delgadojr512]

Your better off filling in the gaps. Open the door and add felt towards back corners of the door all the way around. If u have a wide gap at the bottom of the door take the door off and add a cut to size piece of carpet with glue, staple.or nail. Should do loads better.

[@purplefurture6960]

Is it the best way as i live in rental apartment ?

[@whoskonaa]

No

[@groovedaddy24]

Thx for the video and information, however, at this price why not just get a solid core door?

[@soundproofguide]

That would be a great option. But this is for people that not only want to soundproof their door but also want to deaden the sound inside the room. Also, if you're in an apartment you can use this and bring it with you when you leave. I guess you could do that with a solid door also. I'm soon going to do a comparison for a hollow door and a solid door. thanks for the comment. 😊

[@KenyaSG]

I would love to randomly renovate houses that I rent and do not own, and give the landlord the bill for my satisfaction 😎

[@richdesigns81]

I would get a couple transducers like the ones from dayton audio, coupled with a small bluetooth amp, attach em to the door, and pump white noise through em, converting the door to a source of white noise as opposed to a leak for more disruptive sounds coming through door.. so I guess it would be a more active sound barrier solution...

[@mimo-bine]

Did it work :0

[@richdesigns81]

@@mimo-bine beautifully… until I decided to use my door as a speaker.. I live across from the onsite property manager.. he was less than thrilled. I figured he’d be happy to not hear the other sounds that would have been coming from my place… then again, maybe that’s why he was upset…

[@user-zq9ml6ot8u]

[@ChineseSe7en]

I don't get it. So just putting a piece of wood in front of the door would work better than that?

Hey, should you place a sound proofing blanket on the inside or outside of the room door?

[@diayae3505]

I mainly game and usually im too loud and my sisters room is right next to mine so which way would be better?

[@soundproofguide]

I would use it on the inside normally but if. You want to block and deaden the noise they are making then placing it outside would be your best bet since the door panel will help deaden and not only block the sound.

[@HardParking]

Is this a solid core or hollow core door?

[@soundproofguide]

That was just a hollow-core door.

[@HardParking]

@@soundproofguide that was what I figured as it’s the most common. We’ve been looking to replace all our interior doors with solid core but none of the big chain stores have an STC rating on their solid core doors. And of course the “audio” based websites have doors that cost $2k dollars for STC ~45 - 60. One mfg said she didn’t know when I emailed but was thinking theirs are 40-50. But at $300, there’s no way they are that highly rated. Anyway, thanks for the response.

[@Skilow]

​@@HardParking I know this is an old comment, but for solid core particle boards you can expect around 28-30 STC, while for MDF cores you can expect around 33 STC. Most important part is installing door seals especially on the bottom.

[@lorrainecreamer3897]

Is similar available for walls?

[@soundproofguide]

Not for an entire wall. The fast of the matter is it would cost way to much for one to go on walls. It would be much more cost effective to soundproof a wall with additional drywall than something like this.

[@NuttedInYoMom]

@@lorrainecreamer3897 soundproofing has to be 100% or no percent. All it takes is the tiniest hole that air can pass through, and your soundproofing efforts are essentially completely ruined. Your wall could be 99% air sealed, but to be soundproofed, it must be 100%. If you don't go 100%, almost all of your soundproofing efforts will be for nothing. Go 100%, or don't bother because you'll be dissapointed

Yes, definitely go with a triple window if it is within your budget. Then add an additional layer of 5/8” drywall overtop your current drywall. You can also add some sound deadening insulation if you’re willing to tear down the exits wall.
