Does it cut down the noise of the door opening & closing?

Just a bit - the material is only ~ 1/4" thick - so the benefit is mostly thermal with the double side foil and plastic bubble center.

We didn't notice that the door opening is quieter, but the garage is quieter since it muffles the outside noise.

No, the material crackles and pops and is loud But still it has kept the garage around 40 degrees when it has been 12 outside. We also installed a rubber gasket for the door to set on so this could be helping also. You can find that on amazon also.

When opening and closing a door, it is very quiet - no noise from the rollers. My husband put a guide at the bottom as we have cats and they work hard to push the door open. It is a very good product.

It makes little or no noticeable noise when my cat goes through. I have it placed in an inside door that leads to basement where his cat litter is.

If you can see a gap under your door (hardwood floors or very short carpet), I would expect this to help. I bought it just for sound reduction on hardwood floors, and am happy with it. It wouldn't help with people directly outside your door, but it could reduce reflected sounds that normally go under the gap between floor and door.

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

It will help a bit but not much. It leaves all the edges exposed for the normal operation of the garage door and the sound will get out anyway.

It is not as noisy as a vacuum cleaner, and will probably not be heard if doors are closed and there is ample noise absorbing material.

No, it just restricts the door from opening all the way. Good to stop it from hitting a wall or other cabinet doors.

No, it just makes white noise or various soothing sounds. That would help you ignore the noise from your neighbors!

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

It doesn't make that much noise unless you don't turn the dial enough and pull after it winds down. There is a dial that you turn to be able to extend it and it is kind of like a timer and clocks back until it gets to lock mode. This gate worked great for us, but if you install above the baseboards and they are really high your kiddo or pets will discover how to crawl under it.

he slits along the sides of the door go directly to the fans, it reduces the noise a bit. Hope that helps

No, it simply keeps the door from swinging closed. It might slow them down but it certainly won't prevent it. I bought it because my doors like to close themselves.

Yes. It is about as loud as a fire truck siren if toy are standing next to it though. And was very sensitive. Our door has a bit of a wiggle, when the wind blows the door moves slightly, it set the alarm off several times. I returned it. But yes it works worth any motion on the door, in or out.

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

To be honest its a little on the noisier side. If u put it in an enclosed space or box it does eliminate some of the noise.

We used it as a pantry door, so we don't really know if it dampens the noise, but the operating system is really smooth. Hope this helps
