00:00If your upstairs neighbor sounds like they're bowling at 2 in the morning,
00:03or maybe rearranging furniture in tap shoes, you're in the right place.
00:07I went through the listings, checked the reviews, and pulled together the top 5 soundproof mats
00:12for noisy upstairs neighbors, and honestly, the prices on these are kind of ridiculous in the
00:16best way. Let's get into it. First up is this self-adhesive rubber phone roll,
00:22and it's the one I'd start with if you've never done this before.
00:26It's peelandstick, so you literally cut it with scissors, press it onto the wall or ceiling,
00:31and you're done, no glue, no mess. It's versatile too, so it works on roofs, in cars, or along a
00:37shared wall. At $6.19 with over 4,700 sold and a 4.9 rating, it's a stupidly cheap way
00:45to test
00:45whether this whole thing works for your space. Number 2 is this sound absorption cotton sponge
00:50pad, and I like it because it's small and sneaky. It's high-density, so it actually absorbs sound
00:56instead of just bouncing it around, and it's perfect for those little problem spots behind
01:00a speaker, on a shared wall, inside a cabinet that rattles. $6.98, almost 4,600 sold, 4.8 stars.
01:09If you want to fix one specific noisy corner without covering a whole wall, grab a couple of these and
01:15call it a day. Third one is the big roll, and this is the one for people who want real
01:20coverage.
01:21It's 50 by 200 centimeters, half a centimeter thick, self-adhesive, high-density, and it's
01:27waterproof, which is a nice bonus if you're putting it somewhere damp. It handles sound,
01:32heat, and moisture, so it's genuinely a 3-in-1. $18.71, over 4,400 sold, and a perfect 5
01:41-star rating.
01:42That's the most coverage per dollar on this list. Number 4 is this 10-millimeter thermal
01:48insulation mat, and thickness is the whole selling point here. 10 millimeters is chunky,
01:53noticeably more than the thin stuff, so it does a better job of killing that low thud-thud-thud of
01:58footsteps. You can throw it on walls, floors, or doors, and it doubles as a heat barrier,
02:03which helps in winter. $13.41, 4,000 plus sold, 4.9 stars.
02:10Great middle ground if the cheap rolls felt too thin for you.
02:14And number 5 is this high-density black foam panel set, which is honestly the most underrated
02:19one here. These were designed for car engine bays, so they're built to absorb vibration and
02:25mechanical noise, which is exactly the kind of energy you get from stomping and dropped objects
02:29upstairs. $7.75, nearly 3,900 sold, 4.7 stars. Cut them to size, tuck them where the noise comes
02:40through, and you'll notice the difference fast. One honest thing before you go, none of these will
02:45magically erase a marching band upstairs, but they'll take the edge off the noise so your
02:49apartment actually feels like home again. All 5 links are in the description below with the current
02:55prices, so go check them out. If this helped, smash the like button, hit subscribe, and I'll see you in
03:01the next one.
