Hi, thanks for the comment. So for a material to be "breathable" it has to be porous. It needs to allow air to be able to pass throught it. Unfortunately if air can pass through it, sound can pass through it. It's important in soundproofing to use materials that make the surface air-tight. If it has to be breathable, then all you can really do is add some acoustic mineral wool insulation into any floor or wall cavities and this will help to some degree.
Hi, A little confused with the test, the first test the music was playing from the room below the sound proofed room to test how much sound is being received from the room below. In the second test it was the opposite. I am trying to reduce TV/Music noise from the room below, so would be good to understand if the product will accomplish this or whether its more from stopping noise escaping rather than being received.
Hi @IbrahimAli-f3q, for airborne noise the SoundMat 3 Plus works in both directions. Helping to block unwanted airborne noise from above travelling to the room below and from the room below travelling to the room above.

Love this video and the transparency. It's an incredible improvement as opposed to unrealistic silence.
Hi @SpedSpedding, great to read your comment! Much appreciated.
Really good video, thanks. Just wondering are there any breathable options to reduce sound intrusion in a traditional limestone cottage by a road.
