Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Thanks to the great reviews of these panels, I bought a ton of these panels and am SO happy with the results! We just moved into our new rental only to discover the horrendous noise problem. I started with panels on our hollow metal front door and they made a HUGE difference! The outside hallway is a tiled echo chamber, BUT after sticking them to the door with 3M tape, I could barely hear my husband jangle and drop his keys and talk (when I sent him into the hall for a test). I WISH I’d thought to use them for all the other metal apartment doors we’ve had. Inspired, I decided to use these panels on our ceiling - which is so thin (no padding btw our neighbor’s floor and our ceiling) the impact noises from our upstairs walking around was so intense they made our floor shake and glass of water do the Jurassic Park ripple thing. Result: the noises have become muffled and the booming footsteps no longer cause the apt to shake, they are just banging noises upstairs! Miracles abound. But, they don’t soundproof. There is a spot near the wall the kid upstairs plays without carpeting I still need to cover. I’m hoping more furniture, rugs, books and curtains will also help. I used the 3M sticky tape and for the most part they stayed up really well. A few have started to come off, but I think I didn’t use enough and also our ceiling has a (super unhelpful) stucco-like finish.
