- Most of the time a soundproof door panel or soundproof blanket for doors won't work for soundproofing, they are ore for sound deadening. This sound proof door panel from acoustic soundproofing changes that.
Here is the full review and sound test with decibel (DB) test to see if how much noise stays on the other side of the door.
Here is the link for the door panel. Make sure to use discount code "soundproofguide" to receive a 5% discount.

This door panel is a bit more expensive than some you would see from Amazon. The reason for that is how it is built and how it works. You will see in this video that this door panel actually works for soundproofing a door!

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.
Wrong....this is sound BLOCKING......wood can't do that.
How much is a solid core door???
Or you could do both haha
@@gotmilk1331100 to 300
You know decibels are logarithmic, right?
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.
Interesting. Great information for a future video! Thanks
Can anyone recommend such android apps?
Thanks for the great info!
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.
Need some advice need to cancel out a loud tv through a door ? What do u suggest
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
Do they have wall/room dividers of this material
Things I hate is over talking when I just wanna see if this works
Bruh tell me about it😩
where can I get the velcro tape?
Can we install it on both sides of a door to increase the reduction in dB?
It's 600 each, at that point you have better options
@@Fire-in-the-sky so I ended up graduating, finding a good job and getting my own apartment. My life never has been this peaceful without roomates!
@@sinajafarzadeh9577 good job?
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.
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?
Right?! I was thinking the same thing. The noises should've been more extreme; high end and low end
What curtain can reduce a decent amount of sound going out
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 😁)
Thx for the video and information, however, at this price why not just get a solid core door?
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. 😊
I would love to randomly renovate houses that I rent and do not own, and give the landlord the bill for my satisfaction 😎
Hello..Thank you for the video, can I show you a video of my work to test the sound insulation the door ...I need your opinion 🌸
What mobile vocal booth would you recommend everyone says don't go with vocalboothtogo, any recommendations (hard to find these acoustic blankets in toronto)
Where would I go to buy an actual sound proof door though? 🤔
I’m in ground floor flat and can hear my adjoining neighbours footsteps from their flat . It’s like a low vibration. Cannt here any other noise like talking or tv . Any recommendations?
Mass loaded vinyl!
Price is way high in link. That SC-125 material goes for about 250usd for a 4'x8'.
BTW, it is a Sep-tum not a Spec-tum as you were pronouncing it.
And yes, please start with an 85 to 105 dB source to do your testing.
Is it the best way as i live in rental apartment ?
No
600$???
Has anyone ever told you, you look like James Roday? BTW, good video. Thanks for the information.
Thanks! And yes I've been told a few times but only from CZcams viewers. Thank you for watching!! :)
Hey, should you place a sound proofing blanket on the inside or outside of the room door?
I mainly game and usually im too loud and my sisters room is right next to mine so which way would be better?
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.
@@diayae3505Lmao this sounds like my situation
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...
Did it work :0
@@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…
My house is located near highway. It is quite noisy. What is the best way to reduce noise from outside? I have been thinking about change all windows into triple glazed windows. Please give me some advice. Thanks
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.
Is this a solid core or hollow core door?
That was just a hollow-core door.
@@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.
@@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.
The reason it only does a little is the sound goes through any little space that's not sealed
Where can we buy it from?I am from India
Is similar available for walls?
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.
@@soundproofguide ok, many thanks ☺
@@soundproofguide we've actually put some dry wall up but didn't cover the whole wall, just the main top half as there is a radiator on the wall. Can still hear talking/washing machine etc coming through..
@@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
@@NuttedInYoMom ok thanks for the info ☺
Sound is very difficult to stop
I don't get it. So just putting a piece of wood in front of the door would work better than that?
that was crazy, it took off like 20-30db
but 6 benjimans is fucking steep.

I think you had it upside down, 😝
Can't see anything you are doing with the camera view
damn.... super expensive :S
600 bucks.. PASS. For that much you might as well buy a new door
😮
Basically you will get 40 decibels through this thing
is that bad?
you put it upside down
Still waiting for that link lol jk bubba
Just get to it already geez. You talk a lot.
That’s what my ex wife used to say also 🥺
There’s a fast forward button. Use it.
Yeah seems like it didn’t work 🤷
your video title is door noise problem solved. The DB drop is around 15db. Not solved in any way. 8 minutes 55 in you say it wont do much in terms of sound proofing. This video is pointless unless of course you want to see this product doesnt work of course ?
the sound proof guy recording with a usb microphone. im out.
New vids have much better sound quality. Check them out! 😊
@@soundproofguide sorry I didn't mean to be harsh with that comment. Everybody needs to start somewhere and that was not okay from me. I did watch some more of your videos and you are definitely providing a good entry for treating rooms etc. Keep doing what you do!
@@ShortP1089 You weren't harsh at all. You should read some comments I get! lol
