Question 1

would this work to keep the laundry room noise from being heard in other rooms?

Accepted Answer

Our acoustic foam is designed to lower the reverberation time in a room and dampen sound. The foam will dampen some of the sound but there still may be some going through. For example, the 2 inch panels have a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.65 overall. This means approx 65% of the sound will be absorbed by the panel and the other 35% will pass through or be reflected back. Keep in mind that this is for 100% coverage. The thicker panels have a higher NRC than thinner panels.

For sound coming through a wall a good way to block the noise is to add another layer of drywall with green glue in between. The added mass of more sheetrock combined with the noise blocking properties of green glue (available on amazon) will block the sound much better than acoustic foam panels. This is the simplest fix that wouldn't require structural modification to the wall frame.

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Cheers! - Phil

Question 2

How deep are the cuts and how thick is the base?

Accepted Answer

The 2" thick wedges are 2" from base to top of wedge. 0.5" from base to deepest part of the cut... If you have any other question please let us know. Thanks! - Phil

Question 3

Will these damage a ceiling? How are these applied?

Accepted Answer

These will damage the ceiling if you use a permanent adhesive and mount them directly to the ceiling. A technique for minimum damage is to mount the acoustic foam to a piece of plywood, thick cardboard, coroplast, or white boards with permanent adhesive (ex: 3m general purpose 45 spray adhesive, double sided gorilla tape). Then, use something like 3M command strips, tacks, or t shaped push pins to mount the constructed panel to the ceiling. This not only saves your ceiling but it also gives you the freedom to move the panels around for sound testing or take them with you if you move.

Question 4

what material is used for this foam ? Is it polyurethane or polyester?

Accepted Answer

The material is open cell polyurethane foam specially formulated for sound absorption and anti fading. If you have any other questions please let us know. Cheers! - Phil ~ SoundAssured
