Next Generation, 1 lb. Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) Soundproofing Barrier Roll, Premium Noise Blocking for Walls, Ceilings, Home Theaters & Automotive. See all Options.

Used as a sound deadener over an existing ceiling along with another layer 5/8 drywall. Doesn’t do great blocking all the impact noise, like footsteps on hardwood and doors closing, but definitely muffled neighbors' voices and music to a noticeable degree, except heavy bass tones. It worked as intended and I’m happy with results. Though it was a lot of work, stuff is heavy! It is expensive so you will have to decide if potential peace and quiet is worth it to you?

I had never worked with this type product before and after using 9 rolls, it's exactly what I needed. Although it's heavy, that's what I needed. I used this as one (1) of a four (4) layer subfloor in an older condominium (a soft layer, Soundsulate, 1/4" plyboard, engineered vinyl . The sound dampening was super helpful. The distributor was nice enough to refer me to the manufacturer for their feedback. I received a call back right away and the gentleman was very helpful as far as being a soundboard for usages and application. What they recommended is to not just take up the subfloor but to remove the baseboards as well and push the product under the drywall all the way to the 2x4 that is bracing the wall otherwise there is a gap that allows sound to go up into the walls and you're not getting the proper usage of the product. I also used a soundproofing calking around the edge next to the wall brace. Being new to this type of DIY job, I could not have had a better experience. With the lessons learned I would certainly use this product again but I would also consider a heavier pad. This does not stop structural noise, that requires going into the walls.... different project.

Pretty sure the delivery driver cursed the whole way when unloading...these rolls are no joke and heavy! Besides that they are easily cut and work with but I recommend a second set of hands due to the weight. I can't imagine what the 2lb verizon would be like. I used this to cut strips about 18" wide to fasten to joist where there is ductwork and air returns. Not enough space for r19 or r25 fiberglass insulation but plenty of room for r13 and some MLV. So far so good. Considerably less noise in other rooms due to this. Can't wait to see how 5/8" fire rated drywall helps in the abatement as well if I ever get that gone.

We live in a condo with a shared wall. On the other side of the shared wall are newborn twins. We love children, but during the night the crying was more than we can handle. Even worse, our bed is next to the wall. My wife and I were skeptical at first but decided to give MLV a try based on our research and positive reviews. The MLV arrived as expected. We nailed the MLV to the studs behind the existing drywall: caution – it is heavy! We used the recommended acoustic sealant around the perimeter being careful to cover all the gaps and outlets. We then covered the MLV with more drywall, again making sure everything was sealed. We learned from the installation instructions that sealing is key. We taped the drywall seams and painted. Today, you wouldn’t know that there was anyone living next door. Amazing stuff. We will be buying more.

I used this liner to soundproof my kids room who is a gamer and we can hear him from the other room. I used the liner on the wall and then soundproof slat panels over it. It damped the sound a little bit but definitely not really a soundproof. On top of the smell is horrific. We are on week 3 and can’t get rid of this poisonous rubber smell. I ran an ozone machine to try to eliminate the smell and it just doesn’t work. My son gets headaches and needs to sleep elsewhere. Do not use this product inside a home!

I applied this in my 2022 Ram 1500 Limited to isolate inside and outside noise. It was super easy to work with using a box cutter and drill bits depending on the situation. I shopped around and this was where I fell on value for my money compared to other MLV products. It's very workable and was highly effective in reducing road noise when applied to my inner doors, rear wall, and floor pan. I attached it using factory bolt locations. It did not come with any adhesive backing, etc. which I expected. I purchased some 3M spray adhesive, but decided to use factory bolts to hold it in place instead, so it would be easy to remove if I needed to service my inner doors in the future.

I’ve purchased several rolls of this 1lb mass loaded vinyl sheet from this supplier, and it has consistently delivered on quality, density, and material expectations—no surprises whatsoever. As is natural with this type of material, there is a slight smell when first unboxed, but letting it sit in the garage for a few days resolves that completely. Compared to other options on Amazon, this product has stood out for its reliability and performance. Whether for soundproofing or other applications, this product has not let me down. I’ll continue to purchase from this supplier for any future projects. Highly recommend!

My client wanted to enjoy his home theater experience without the entire house hearing it. If I had my way I would have put MLV b4 the drywall. But it did work well on top of the drywall. I was able to reduce the sound outside the room by 60%. I used roofing nails and a staple gun to Secure all the panels. You definitely want to have someone help you because the material has a little weight to it. To close all my seams I used a MLV tape. The other cool thing about the material I used every last piece of it. No need to waste any of it!!
