Would this work to put under the feet of my bed frame to stop vibrations I feel from my next door neighbors walking around in their space?

Can't guaranty it. But seems like it is worth a try. Here is another option: Isolate It: Sorbothane Vibration Isolation Heavy Duty Square Pad (2.5" x 2.5" x 1/4" Thick) 30 Duro - 4 Pack

Yes, the inside diameter of the pads is 1.88". We recommend that you only install these with beds if the legs will fit within the top diameter of the pad. This ensures that they will be stable.

Depends on the size of your bed posts. They do a very good job of reducing small vibrations but the pads are not very big around. If you have large posts on the bed you will have difficulty getting it to stay up.

These would certainly help. Though, if your bed's legs are on rollers, even the locking type, I suspect these pads would be too small. Also, look into "SSP Vibration Isolation Pads" . You can buy one thick 12" x 12" pad and easily cut it into four 6" x 6" pads with scissors or a box cutter

They are made to stop the vibrations of heavy machinery where the heavy machinery is the source. In your case the source of the vibration is the neighbor's feet. I'm not sure it would work, but I can't rule it out either. You could experiment first with cutting up an old bath rug and placing it under each of the bed's feet to see if you notice any difference prior to spending more money.

Hard to say. They work pretty good a damping the vibrations from our ultra high speed washer. I would try other solutions first. Sounds like pretty light construction was done.

I think they're mostly for vibrations between solid (metal/wood) objects, but they're not perfect. If the feet of your bed are making noise against, say, a wood floor, they might help with that, but so would less expensive rubber, or carpet, feet. If your mattress and/or bed springs don't damp vibrations you "feel" otherwise, I don't know that these would help.I used them under a washer on a wood floor, but also had foam between the washer and the wall and dryer - and there was still some vibration. The feet helped, but didn't eliminate vibration. (I no longer live where I was using them.) I think they're mostly for vibrations between solid (metal/wood) objects, but they're not perfect.

That is not too different from my application, so it should help. It will stop resonance and provide some sound absorption.

I'm really not sure what you mean. I am using it under my treadmill. It helps to protect the wood floor and to make the treadmill quieter. I am sure you could use it for exercising, if that's what you mean.

I don't think the connecting tabs would hold up the constant flexing of having something as soft as carpet under them. You might be able to do it if the carpet is indoor/outdoor very short closed loop like used in offices and high traffic areas, with no pad underneath... but that isn't typical of bedrooms. If you put a very heavy underlayment down over the carpet first... maybe it will work. Or remove the carpet and put down a heavy foam rubber material (costly) to provide your noise dampening.

As Mack replied, I'm sure this rubber mat help reduce the thumping noise from the trampoline feet hitting your floor (wood?), but won't totally reduce the noise level. Couldn't be worse, only better.

Yes, if the gap underneath the door is big enough to place the door stop under it, it will stop the door from being opened and will make a very loud sound that the neighbors can hear so you will definitely be woken up if someone tries to come in....

Yes. But with the strong vibrations, the sound doesn't distract. Need to have the door shut and some covers over if you have thin walls!

I think so,but make sure to have a rubber mat under it,even if you have carpeting.It makes a whirring noise,but it isn't that loud in my opinion.Unfortunately,if you have sensitive neighbors almost any equipment might set them off,but this is pretty quiet compatered to a treadmill or elliptical

Hello, You would need to insulate space between floors. That could be a major renovation. Normal insulation(fiberglass) would help a lot, but noise dampening type would be better. Either way it could be a major cost.

I don't believe it is thick enough to keep your pounding on the floor from turning into the downstairs neighbors pounding on your door.

Not a problem! I'm pretty sure it will work fine. I used it to secure a heavy, solid wood headboard that used to constantly bang against the wall with any movement. It not only secured the headboard, it also stopped it from making any noise. Best of luck!

I doubt it, especially if you need it to cover any other noise. It's pretty quiet. It would probably only work for that if the room you are in is very quiet and you keep the fan very near your bed. If what you really need is ambient noise in a fairly small package, there are some small alarm clock radios with an ambient noise feature or just straight-up ambient noise generators with no clock or radio, like this one: HoMedics SS-2000G/F-AMZ Sound Spa Relaxation Machine with 6 Nature Sounds, Silver

Only if you ISOLATION feet & heavy carpeting. It will rattle the ceiling of the people under you.

Yes, it'll work very well to dampen the sound, but it won't actually "soundproof" it. You'll need to get that black "soundproofing" stuff to hang between the insulation and drywall.

Unfortunately no. If you are referring to what you "feel" when in your bed and not what you hear, then you're talking about vibrations less than 10 Hz ( cycles/sec). Referring to the mfg. web site... http://www.sorbothane.com/blog/vibration-damping/ You will see that is doesn't damp well below 10 Hz. You would be better off with an open cell Urethane foam sandwich like these... http://www.soundaway.com/TriCore_Rubber_Foam_Pads_s/183.htm Or you could just ask your neighbor to be a little more considerate. Just kidding ;-)

It probably will cancel the traffic noise but the beat from the bass from the bar definitely will still vibrate through your apartment. There's little you can do about unwanted vibration except move!

I believe it would. I use it to block noise from outside, and the sound of television or music downstairs. It works great for me. You can adjust the sound to be either a higher or deeper sound so I would think it would work to block out a low deep noise. I love it and bring it everywhere I go!
