Abstract: An acoustic isolator is capable of being placed on a resting surface and receiving a sound producing device. The acoustic isolator includes a sheet like barrier member having a first surface and a second surface and a thickness of less than about 0.375 inches. The barrier member is composed of a plastic material. A sheet like fiber based fabric member has a first surface coupled to the second surface of the barrier member to form a laminated sheet having at least two layers. Also, a paintable acoustic barrier sheet is capable of being attached to and covering a room surface member, and receiving a paint material to permit the user to choose the color of covered room surface member by applying paint thereto. The paintable acoustic barrier comprises a sheet like barrier member having a first surface, a second surface and a thickness of less than about 0.2 inches. The barrier member is comprised of a first plastic material.
