Controlling Noise Based on Frequency- Sound Dampening Paint vs. Sound Absorbing Material
When you are looking to reduce noise within your space, the first thing you need to know is what kind of sound it is you want to control. All sound falls on a scale of low to high frequencies. Mid to High frequencies are the easiest to control due to the fact that their wave lengths are much closer together and thus have to go through a material numerous times before passing to the other side. Low frequencies, on the other hand, have longer wave lengths thus only hit the sound barrier once or twice before passing through. This makes low frequency sound virtually impossible to eliminate completely, although it can be dramatically reduced using sound absorption materials. 
Sound dampening paint only addresses the mid range frequencies, which is basically the frequency of regular speech. High frequencies (like sound from a flute) and low frequencies (like planes or outside traffic) are not protected using sound dampening paint.
Audimute offers a wide range of products that address all frequencies of sound. Peacemaker sound insulation, a flexible, durable rubber barrier blocks the transmission of sound rather than absorbing it. Once you have installed Peacemaker to block the sound, you should consider Audimute Acoustic Panels as the sound absorption material of choice to reduce the room’s echoes and reverberation. Sound dampening paint only works in absorbing sound through its viscoelastic polymer coating, thus cannot guarantee even a 30 percent reduction in sound.
