[QUOTE="mvw2, post: 6253776, member: 574722"] Depends upon the effectiveness of the mat. Raamaudio's mat is relatively thin compared to SDS's or SS's products. Raamaudio is very cost effective per square foot, but I can't say it's worth the price in terms of functionality versus other options. There simply hasn't been any real testing on this unfortunately. The mat isn't designed to block out noise. The gearing of the product is to damp vibrations. If you want to block noise, you need a barrier product. You'll be looking at things like Second Skin's Luxury Liner/Pro, Cascade's VB-3, VB-4, etc., and SDS' mass loaded vinyl and foam (sold as separate parts instead of a combined package). These are the blockers that will block out the noise. The butyl mat just isn't geared for this function and does it poorly relative to a proper barrier. [/QUOTE]
