Do your research on this.
I spent hours going over the different product types.
The peal and seal stuff at lowes is asphalt based and though I have no first hand experience with it, from what I read I decided to steer clear of it.
I ended up going with Damplifier pro from 2nd skin. It doesnt so much eliminate air born noise it is designed to eliminate vibrational noise like hitting a drum.
I only wish that I would have used a thermal blanket too under the carpet as I still get heat up from the floors. Some people get carried away appling the stuff.
Some peaple swear by the spray in stuff too.

Its all very subjective, and in my opinion just a matter of a degrees between them all. Its also very difficult to find someone that has used different products that doesn't have a biased opinion.
