An asymmetric multilayer film for an ostomy pouch includes a barrier layer including a first side and a second side. At least one layer is arranged on the first side of the barrier layer, and at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer, in which the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the first side of the barrier layer is at least two times greater than the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer. The asymmetric multilayer film has a thickness of about 25 μm to about 50 μm.

The ostomy pouch of claim 1, wherein the seal layer has a thickness of about 13 μm, the inner layer has a thickness of about 9 μm, the tie layer has a thickness of about 3 μm, the barrier layer has a thickness of about 4 μm, and the outer layer has a thickness of about 3 μm. 5. The ostomy pouch of claim 1, further comprising a nonwoven layer adhesively attached to at least one of the first and second wall, wherein an adhesive layer is arranged between the outer layer of the asymmetric multilayer film and the nonwoven layer. 6. The ostomy pouch of claim 5, wherein the adhesive layer is formed from a sound absorbing adhesive including a vinyl-bond-rich triblock copolymer.
