Audimute isolé Sound Barrier and Sound Absorption Sheet | MLV Sound Blocker - Block Sound | Soundproofing Sheet - Sound Blanket - Reduce Noise - Acoustic Foam Alternative | - (Bone)

I don't write many reviews but came here to write this one because there are some reviews of this product by people who really don't seem to get it. So, first off, thank you to the top-rated reviewer who already came here to set the record straight - that review convinced me to buy one of these sheets.I live in the city, close to a busy road, and there's about to be construction outside. My bed is directly next to a window and there's truly no way to change the room around to fix that. Our sleep has been under assault by partiers at night (even during this COVID time), garbage trucks at 6am, delivery vehicles, and now, heavy construction equipment.This product is not inexpensive, but it is well made and works as promised. The manufacturer does not over-promise.First, this is professional-grade sound-deadening gear of the sort I'd expect to find in a well-situated recording studio. Construction is superb, detailed, solid in a way that is rare these days.For our purposes, one blanket fully covering the window completely eliminates the low-grade background noise of passing cars, conversations, yelling,... and substantially attenuates much louder noises.Construction has not yet resumed (It's a holiday) so I plan update once we are under siege by the really noisy machines.Notes: It's rally important to get a good "seal" especially if you're up against a window. This window is in the corner, and the pad is hung such that it touches the adjacent wall on that side of the window, and overaps about 1 inch of the window frame on the other side. I think we'd have better sound reduction if the pad were a bit wider. In the small gap between the left side of the frame and the pad, some sound does get through - i'm planning to close that gap by taping it down (If the outside noise gets really bad), or making some sort of velcro strap, or possibly purchasing this company's soundproofing tape for doors and attaching it to the window frame, so that the pad comes to rest against it.I will also consider purchasing as second sheet to overlap the first if we need to make the room even more quiet.All considered, this is about to be our second wave of construction and I'm feeling a whole lot less anxious about it knowing that we have a way to knock down the noise that will get into our sleeping space. The product is very well made - rare to find this quality these days in an amazon order of 1 unit of a specialty item like this. Thank you to audimute for making this product available in small quantities to the general public - often manufacturers like this are difficult for retail buyers like us to do business with.

This has worked really well for us. I have some experience with soundproofing and know how challenging it is to completely block sound, so I started with realistic expectations. It has been effective at dulling the sounds of dogs barking and television noise from the other room so I can conduct conference calls undisturbed. It fits perfectly for the space where we needed it, at the bottom of a staircase, but be sure to measure first. It has also been effective at keeping heat from escaping up the stairs.I agree with other reviewers who have found the attachment mechanism challenging. If you drill the holes perfectly, you can use the knob to screw in the post then remove the knob. If the screw hole is too loose, you will find it impossible to remove the knob without also removing the post/screw thingy.Once up, it works well and is easy to remove when you don’t need it. To store, I hang it on some screws on a storage room wall. Rolling it up for storage is difficult and probably risks damaging it.

I felt that I needed to write a review of this product because some of the reviews here are borderline ridiculous. The Audimute isole works extremely well for my purpose. I needed a solution for one of the doors in my home studio that I could not treat acoustically otherwise and the combination of soundproofing and absorption with a sheet that I can put up temporarily is just perfect. Unfortunately, it is an inch too short for my particular situation but that is something I can live with.Couple of comments with respect to some of the other reviews:- Yes, it is heavy. If it wouldn't be heavy it would not work. There is just no way around that. However, it is not that heavy. I felt that this is a good compromise between functionality and usability. But you need to be able to lift 20 pounds above your head in order to hang it.- I have no idea why somebody would need instructions on how to put a screw into a wall but if you have no idea on how to use the included hardware you should probably stay away from any home improvement project. Having said that I do agree with some reviewers that using some more heavy duty hooks might be advisable. And make sure that you screw it into something solid like a stud.- The sheet has two sides. One is rubber, which is the sound barrier, and one is soft, which is the absorption side. In almost all applications I can think of you would want the absorption side on the inside and the sound barrier on the outside. Judging from the images here it seems that most people hang it with the wrong side facing inwards. If you are only interested in using it as a sound barrier it won't make much of a difference though.- It is physically impossible for a sheet with this thickness to keep out the low end rumble of your neighbor playing the latest DnB track. Do not expect miracles. It does work surprisingly well at the higher frequencies though. According to the specification, it works well above 400 Hz but has only very little effect at 200 Hz and below.- New products made of rubber can stink. Sometimes quite a bit. Give it a few days, it will go away. Fortunately, the sheet that I got had no unpleasant smell at all.
