RITOLLO 4 Pack Wood Panels for Wall - 47.2"×23.6" Wood Slat Acoustic Panels for Wall, Soundproof Panels, 3D Fluted Panels for Interior Wall Decor (Natural Oak)

This item was not what I expected after looking at my sister's wooden panels that were made of foam, these were actual wood with a heavy felt on them. They were light enough for me to install by myself. And I was able to cut them with using a regular hand saw. The panels came with 4 in a box. I only needed to use 3 to hang behind my television. Even though I ordered 2 boxes. I looked at the local hardware store and 41 ten foot panel , it ran about fifty five dollars so I think this was a better deal.

These panels seem well-made. They feel pretty dense, the adhesive backing works well and makes installation easy, and they do work to cut down room echo and can help deaden a space. I picked these up to put in my home office, which has a lot of hard surfaces and very few absorptive ones. Any noise generated reflects out of the room, and down the hall which also has very few absorptive surfaces to attenuate sound. I wanted to have something I could put on my door to cut down on echoes and provide a (very small) amount of sound insulation when the door is closed, and these have worked very well for that purpose. Sound and music in my office sounds much better and more natural, and the difference is pretty stark when the door is open and the tiles are against the wall, compared to when the door is closed and the tiles are exposed to the room overall. Since the description does mention that these can be used for soundproofing, I think it's worth discussing what these tiles can and cannot do. What these tiles can do is reduce echoes, and add a little extra mass and depth to a wall or door. This can cut down on reflected or transmitted sound, and make your room sound better, but it will not (for example) block out the noise of an inconsiderate neighbor or crying baby. There are no tiles you can buy to stick on a wall which will do much better than these do; to cut down on noise, you need lots of surface area and/or mass to absorb sound energy. If you're expecting to buy one or two packs of these and solve problems with noise, you will be disappointed. Just for fun, I took sound readings with a decibel meter outside the room I used these in before and after hanging the panels up. All readings were taken with the meter at the same distance from the door, and with a speaker playing broad-spectrum white noise at a consistent level from inside the room. Background noise from other rooms was kept consistent during the readings, and I used the minimum levels seen while taking a reading to be as fair as possible. My control reading with the meter (with the door closed, and no panels installed) was 46.6dBA. 12 tiles covered just over half of my door, and reduced sound in the hall by about 0.4dBA, to 46.2dBA. This isn't nothing, but it's not soundproofing.

High quality, was able to install on walls securely with double sided adhesive tape. Looks beautiful, will be ordering more soon! They are heavy, but easy to install by myself. They fit together snug, they are a little expensive but you get what you pay for.

Sample was too small to actually tell if it the product works. The materials seemed to be of good quality and the design is modern and clean lines. I'm sure this would look good installed. Just not sure if it actually sound proffs effectively.

Looking forward to a project in my home euth this product.
