I purchased 6 panel solid wood door slabs to reduce noise through our interior doors (we had hollow core doors before). I wanted more noise reduction so I bought some of this MLV. I attached it to the inside of my interior doors with Liquid Nails Fuze It caulk and used an 18 gauge stapler to secure it to the door. Excess is easy to trim off with a utility knife. I then stapled 1/4" thick natural wood panels on top of the MLV and am going to paint them white. I am VERY happy with the amount of increased noise reduction that this MLV provided. My wife also thinks it was well worth the price. I also used white rubber weather stripping to help seal the gaps between the door and the frame when the door is close. This combo reduced the noise coming through the door by at least 90%. 1lb MLV will increase your door weight by 1 pound per square foot of door, so it added around 20 pounds to the weight of each door

I haven't even covered it with drywall yet, and i can already tell that its making a huge difference!Its very heavy and floppy, So if you have to install it on the ceiling like I did, I would definitely recommend using a drywall lift with a sheet of plywood to lay the vinyl on. I pre-drilled holes in the plywood so i could nail it from below once i had it in place on the ceiling.

I recently use 1 pound mass loaded vinyl for soundproofing my living room and it is fantastic. It’s significantly cut down noise and it was easy to cut and fit, but we had a hard time putting it up because of the weight. We installed it along with wood panels since my TV wall in the living room is against my bedroom wall, and it made a huge difference in reducing the noise. The quality is excellent, and it feels durable and long lasting. While it might be a bit pricey, the noise reduction benefits, made it worth it. I highly recommended for anyone needing to reduce the noise

I used this in conjunction with some sound Rockwool insulation. It cuts easy and did not smell. If you buy a big roll it is heavy you definitely need help Don't be a hero trying to pick it up by yourself. I did purchase mass loaded vinyl tape and tacks also. No problems with delivery The big roll came by Amazon box truck.

Very thick and heavy plastic material. Thank goodness I was able to cut with plain shears. It was a little hard for me putting it up because of the weight, but I attached it to the door with nails, and it worked. I also put a little around the door to the wall and made sure to cover the space at the bottom of the door. I tested it out with a loud TV, and it gave above 90% noise cancellation, and that is better than I can ask for. I would use it again by borrowing a man's muscles to help out. Very good product. It works way better than those felt squares and the so-say noise cancellation foam squares.

4 stars instead of 5 because I wish it were cheaper! First, the odor - the roll I received had little or no headache-inducing vinyl odor. Double thumbs up. Second, the application. My particular situation - I have a drum kit set up in my basement. The concrete foundation is good at blocking noise, but the windows at the top of the foundation, not so much. I don't want to bother the next door neighbors with loud drumming. The solution to this particular problem is to get 3" mineral wool, cut to fit the window opening, then cut a same-size piece of the MLV material and put on top of the mineral wool. The stackup of materials, from the outside in, is glass + mineral wool + MLV. This doesn't block 100% of the sound, but it does a really good job. In this case the MLV is one part of the solution. I put the mineral wool/MLV combo in a heavy duty plastic garbage bag to prevent dust coming off of the mineral wool into the basement space. There is nothing magical about the MLV - it is just a mass layer. Other materials of similar density and rigidity (rubber mat for example) would also work. The MLV advantage is it is very flexible and cuts easily with a razor knife. And you can fasten it or glue it fairly easily to another surface.If you are trying to block sound from an adjoining room or apartment, however, this can get really tricky because the sound can travel through many paths. Even if you completely cover one wall with a sheet of MLV (or an insulation layer such as the mineral wool plus the MLV), this may not effectively block the sound if the sound is also traveling through another path to get into the space you are trying to make quiet. Sort of like the water dripping through your ceiling, sound will go wherever physics permits it to go. There is some reasonably good practical information at this website: soundproofcow.com. This is a commercial website, and I am not endorsing their products, but you can find some good info on approaches to noise control here.If you want to study the physics of it all, get the book "Noise and Vibration Control", edited by Leo Beranek.

This MLV made up a large part of the cost of my attempted sound proofing project. I'm really not sure it made much difference. I covered mulple finished walls with it, and added a 5/8" layer of drywall on top, and it is only marginally better. I guess I wasn't expecting a miracle, but I was hoping for better soundproofing than I got. Not a good value for the money.

I did the sound deadening for my car in stages. This MLV was the final one going on top of the CLD tiles and foam. I only used this MLV on the floor of the car and as high up onto the firewall as I could reach. I was not able to dismantle the dashboard. Now my car is vastly quieter. I did the sound deadening for my sanity from road noise and also to enhance my audio system which has been upgraded for sound quality running nearly 1000 watts RMS.

Heavy material, dull hey black, but it’s designed to be buried in a wall or covered up, as it has a noticeable smell of fire retardant chemicals which I am very sensitive to. So was unable to use for intended door soundproofing.
