36 Pack AUSLET Acoustic Panels 12 x 12 x 2 Inches, Pyramid Sound Proof Foam Panels for Wall, High Density Black Acoustic Foam Panels,Soundproof Wall Panels

Ok, there is a lot to unpack when it comes to some of the negative things that others have had to say in regards to these tiles. The one thing that most people do not seem to understand is that tiles like this ARE NOT SOUND BLOCKING! They are meant only to absorb echoes in an environment.In my case, these were installed with the idea of toning down the room a bit. I run a couple of industrial lasers that require supporting equipment like a water chiller, air compressor and more than one fume extraction fans. All combined add up quickly decibel wise and the tiles do an excellent job of quieting the environment just by removing the echoes so I only hear the original source of the noise and not it bouncing off everything else and hitting my ears milliseconds later.These tiles are not a “Silver Bullet”, but they are darn close. I have tried other sound dampening tiles and found them to be inferior in performance and a pain in the *ss to install with the sub-par adhesive squares that come with them, and just plain look like crap (I have a whole contractor’s garbage bag full of them now because they are that bad).The foam on these was a bit odoriferous at first, but dissipated quickly. Expansion of the tiles after removing them from the vacuum packs was almost instantaneous and were usable within 3-5 minutes and the density is far superior to other tiles I have tried.For installing these, I DID NOT use adhesive or tape. Since they were going over drywall the most secure way that I found to mount them was using a pair of Lineman’s pliers to push in 1” long round top blued nails (5 per tile). They are invisible once seated unless you look for them and they do not compress the foam and distort, thus degrade the function of, the tiles like staples from a staple gun will. Using the nails also made it exceedingly easy to remove the tiles for repositioning when needed due to installer error ;-)For my first installation, I covered the ceiling of the area where my machinery that makes the most noise resides. The floor was then covered with ¾” thick rubber stall mats which are also great for deadening noise reflections (echoes). Some have commented that my current 12’ X 11’ area is creepy in the fact that once they enter it, the normal echoes that we are all used to hearing almost disappear (this can cause discomfort/disorientation for some since they are something the brain uses for spatial cues).Would I buy these again, absolutely! Actually I already did, I’m just waiting for them to arrive so I can start installing them in the rest of the Shop ;-)Yes, I did get some dud tiles (mashed due to the manufacturing process, packing, whatever) as others mentioned, I just set these aside and used them when partial tiles were called for. In the end, it worked out just fine and the loss due to defective tiles was minimal at best (no tiles were a total loss).Just the tiles on the ceiling alone made an immediate difference, when coupled with the flooring the effect was far beyond my expectations! I cannot wait to tile the other two thirds of the ceilings when the rest of the tiles I ordered arrive.

Exactly what I needed when I suddenly ended up with a new roommate for a few months that worked a much different schedule. I record a lot of music and this saved my ass.

Very prompt. Arrived in compressed package. Most panels expanded to their appropriate shape in a short time after being unsealed. Only problem was they emitted an oder reminiscent of 3 day old fish. After being sprayed with a freshener it abated. Would have been nice if they had included double-sided tape with which to hang them. Overall, I would buy them again.

Excelente cantidad por el precio, hacen la función muy bien de reducir el ruido externo y evitar la propagación en el interno, arme un mini estudio en la esquina de mi cuarto y quedó espectacular, diría que midan bien para que elijan la cantidad exacta que necesitan antes de!

The instructions say to let the foam sit for 3 days to go back to it normal shape after the vacuum seal. I waited 4 days and out of the 36 only 5 had puffed up to the intended shape and thickness. I had to put the rest of them in the dryer on air fluff to see if they would expand from their flatness. They did so I didn't have to return them.

Excelentes espumas y un precio muy favorable. Las espumas que vienen supuestamente con desperfectos se solucionan fácilmente con algo de paciencia y haciendo presión sobre las partes apretadas. Asi procedi y todas sin excepción quedaron perfectas.

Doesn't work at all. Did not muffle any sounds, tested on multiple kinds. Also, many came damaged(flat), and it's impossible to return due to it being vacuum sealed.

Great value for the amount of panels. Great build quality and thick. Definitely buying more for the next project. Absolutely appreciate the packaging as well.
