It works
We used this one with special soundproof drywall and green glue (sealant and caulk) since we built a second wall in our townhouse to block noise coming from neighbor's home. This stuff really works, no more noise for us from the neighbor! We can enjoy our home now.

Great sound reduction!
I just used this to seal the door to my home theater. It made a 30db sound difference. Well worth the money. Very easy to use and cleans off wood and paint very well with just a damp rag.

Dries super slow, final consitancy:Firm Playdough
This stuff dries super slow and the final consistency is that of modelers putty or firm playdough. I would imagine that is intentional as I suspect that consistency is why it absorbs vibrations in the air (Sound) so well. This also leads me to imagine that I could have shoved playdough or modelers putty in the crack and gotten the same results.Needs special care if your gap is more than very small crack or vertical. It will try to run out of the gap if not watched closely and corrected for a few days. Taking a heat gun, or blow dryer and using that to create and maintain a partially dried shell across the front of it while the center sets will hold it in place but you need to do it multiple times as whatever they use as solvent for this stuff that keeps it liquid will spread from the center and re-soften the outer shell until everything sets.I used a heat gun and imagine a blow dryer would take ALLOT longer/more effort. Just don't totally cook it, standard heat gun rules, keep moving at all times to avoid hotspots.As far as performance now that it's been about 2 weeks and is as set as I think it will get? Well, softer than expected but is totally staying in place in a quarter inch gap, though my initial application was a mess when I walked away for about 3 hours came back and found out the top part of it has slid/poured out the bottom. (Scraped the mess up then wiped with paper towel, EASY to clean up before it sets. Refilled the top, then applied heat to set a retaining shell.)It does seem to have created a world of difference as far as sound deadening.This quarter inch gap was next to a poorly installed AC unit in a new apartment near a very busy road. No maintenance couldn't fix it, they are totally incompetent and the ones who installed the AC unit with enough space beside it for even the largest of cockroaches and other insects to climb right in. It has both sealed the gap decently, and also cut the noise back by allot. I do not know if sealing this with more traditional caulk would have had the same effect, no way to test.All in all I am satisfied but the seller/producer could offer tips and advice for working with this stuff in either a pamphlet or on the product page. Would use again in the future.

Update: Missing nozzle.
I just got the acoustic caulk. Open the box and found the plastic bag open on one side and the nozzle missing. I contacted the seller and was kind enough to mail me one. Now I have to wait to find out if the product will do as advertised.

Did not include cleaning cloth
Hoping that product itself works. However, part of tube where tip screws on breaks easily during use. Also this order did not include the cleaning cloths as noted in the description. They are very helpful when included because when the tube tips break sealant gets on hands. Product is too expensive for this poor quality.

Additional Information
Would I need anything else with it to use it. I did not receive any instructions regarding what other equipment I would need to use this.

Really works for soundproofing!
We got this to caulk our bedroom windows around the sash. We live on a very busy street with morning commute traffic. This caulk was a game changer for my sleep. Don’t use the fun, put gloves on and use your finger. You will need multiple pairs of gloves. It’s sticky. It never actually dries, but you can use a putty knife to cut away what you mess up on.
