2 Pack Acoustic Isolation Pads, Studio Monitor Speaker Isolation Foam Pads, Pair of Two High Density Studio Monitor Isolation Pads Pair for 5 Inch Monitors

With the switch to working from home during the pandemic, I was looking for something to help cut down the amount of sound coming through the door to my office. Along with a some additional items that I'll go into below, these tiles really did the trick.HOW MANY DO YOU NEED: With 24 tiles I was able to fully cover (i.e. no gaps) a standard interior door (32" x 80"), with a few tiles and some scraps to spare. I've included a picture so that you can get a sense of what that might look like.ACOUSTIC EFFECTIVENESS: These tiles significantly reduce sound at the locations they are placed, but whether they reduce sound enough for your needs will largely depend on whether you've left other ways for sound to enter your space. Most obviously, they will not be able to eliminate or reduce sound that's coming through gaps they aren't covering. If your sound is coming through a wall, covering the wall in these should significantly help. If your sound is coming from a door, as was my case, these tiles should be the first step you take in fixing the issue, but you may also want to seal the gaps around your door, depending on your needs.COLOR: I purchased the white tiles, which you can see in the attached picture. For reference, the light source in the picture is a "daylight" color LED bulb, which is a fairly cool white, the trim in the picture is painted with Snowbound SW 7004, which is a fairly stark white, and the walls are (I think) Light French Gray SW 0055, which is a very true gray (i.e. neither warm nor cool).QUALITY CONTROL: Out of the 24 tiles I received, one came with an obvious black smudge on its facing side that wouldn't clean up easily. I was able to use it for scrap pieces around the edge of the door.CUTTING: A standard box cutter, ideally with a fresh blade, was the right tool to use. From experience, scissors are the wrong tool. For my part, I simply used a pencil to trace the lines I wanted to cut, then made a series of successively deeper cuts with the box cutter until I was through. It was surprisingly easy. I was even able to mount it cleanly around the door handle with some careful measuring and removing the fitting so that I could use it to trace the circle.MOUNTING: Based on recommendations in various comments, I opted for Scotch-Mount Indoor Double-Sided Mounting Tape 314H-MED, 1 in x 125 in. foam mounting tape, figuring that the foam cells and the air gap it creates between the door and tile would aid in sound isolation. I cut off 5 squares from the roll for most of the tiles (four in the corners and one in the middle), each a bit under 1" in size, and I still had plenty of tape left at the end. None of the tiles have fallen off after 2 months of opening and closing the door, though I have noticed that a few of the scrap pieces along the edge where I used less tape have become a bit loose, so I may need to add some more.

After doing some research, neoprene seemed like a good choice, so I picked up a few rolls of White Foam Weather Stripping in different sizes to fit the variously-sized gaps around my office door. Make sure to measure each of the dimensions of your gaps carefully, since neoprene doesn't compress much and that adhesive WILL take paint off your door if you try to remove it later (e.g. I had to remove the 1/8" thickness tape I put on the hinge side because it kept the door from closing). Even so, I HIGHLY recommend it if you want additional sound isolation for your door. In my case, I added it to the top, left, and bottom sides of the door as it appears in the attached picture. Link: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B08HVJ2KZGRESULTS: With both the tiles and tape in place, my office door transformed into an airlock. It feels like I'm sealing myself off from the world whenever that door closes, making a sucking sort of sound as it does so. It's EERILY quiet. My wife has literally been watching movies at theater volume in the room across the hallway from my office, and I had no clue until I opened the door. I can usually hear when she knocks at the door, but I have to practically shout "come in" for her to be able to hear my response.FINAL WORD: If you're wanting to get sound isolation for a door, start with these, cover your door while leaving no gaps, and then see how it is for you. If you need additional isolation, look into the tape I mentioned above.-------------------EDIT (2023-05-16): Following up two years later to provide notes on longer-term use. In general, everything has held up remarkably well. The solution I laid out two years ago with the tiles and neoprene weather stripping has proven every bit as effective as I had hoped.A few of the tiles near the latch-side of the door have become discolored with dirt and oils from hands touching them over the last few years. I wouldn't necessarily change anything in response to that, but it's something to be aware of if you're purchasing light-colored tiles for use on a surface that will have frequent touch.The one thing I would change is how I taped them up. The adhesive doesn't really penetrate well into the fabric-like surface of the tiles, so it's a bit easier than I'd like to knock them off by brushing up against them. They're easy enough to put back on, and they'll generally stay in place so long as they aren't disturbed again, but if I was starting from scratch today I'd either find an alternative tape that works better with fabric or I'd use 2-3x the pieces of tape in the hope that it would prove more effective.

I purchased these because I podcast and am in a new office suite and liked the idea of these creating more privacy between my office and the second office in my suite while providing a fun pop of color and design...Seeing everyone else's photos and videos was so helpful in seeing the possibilities and so I was very inspired and dove in.First off, these are a good size and the self adhesive ones are so much easier than the others but all in all, they are all easy to attach and the ones that I added adhesive to are staying up well.Second, if you are on a lot of video calls like I am, having this wall as my backdrop has created such a buzz on every call I'm on! Everyone wants to know what they are and a link to them! Bonus if you're an affiliate!Third, they really work. Honestly, I didn't even know how well they worked until I went into the second office the other day while on a phone call and noticed there was more of an echo in that room before I started putting them up!Then when I went back into my office where the wall is complete, I could hear how much better the acoustics were, despite having a window in that room. This is especially exciting because I am doing the same wall in each office, so there is even more sound barrier between the two rooms.If you appreciate more privacy, better acoustics plus enjoy the bonus of having some easy decoration, these are definitely the way to go!Now I may put them in my house if my partner can get behind it!

We bought these in 3 colors. All the colors where very vibrant. They look fabulous! [Vibration Reduction]Cut down on the reverb in our little recording room while looking great!Only drawback is that sometimes they will randomly fall off the wall.

To be honest, I don’t know if they do anything. However, I put them behind my tv that is on a wall I share with my neighbor. They went on easily and are very aesthetic.Great size

very good

Purchased these in three different colors to make a mosaic behind my sofa. They look great and helped with sound management while watching TV.Now, the downside. After just four months, gravity has started to take effect and they are slowly sliding down and spacing out. Some tiles have migrated 1/2". Haven't figured out how to stop them yet.

Everything is as described and this is my 4th order.. I love em

Purchased one set of these to sound dampen my door. The first set was installed by someone else in my house without checking the dimensions first. I ordered the second set based on them telling me that they worked really well without getting to see them myself. I reordered the exact item through Amazon by means of the "order this again" option and the second set that I received was the correct measurement that it should have been for the first order. However the first set was already installed and now I have these much larger panels. I don't want to have to remove the old panels off of my door and reconfigure send them back and reorder new ones. I would very much like to be sent the smaller panel size so that I could just continue filling up the door with the existing pattern. I've been having an extremely difficult time through Amazon customer service as well as the sellers customer service email to get this handled.The product itself works great. The self-adhesion works, The color is what I wanted, and it helps to reduce incoming noise from outside of my room. But somebody messed up by sending a completely wrong product and I can't even find these hexagon panels on Amazon with the first order received size.
