Comments on: Office Soundproofing (Or Lack Thereof) http://www.lockergnome.com/technobabble/2009/09/29/office-soundproofing-or-lack-thereof/ Technology News, Reviews & How-To Sun, 19 Feb 2012 04:47:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Larry http://www.lockergnome.com/technobabble/2009/09/29/office-soundproofing-or-lack-thereof/#comment-25464 Larry Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:09:35 +0000 http://wp3.lockergnome.com/technobabble/?p=989#comment-25464 Reading your post, it is not clear if you are requesting assistance or not. If you are, then understand that the clothes in your walk-in closet provide sound conditioning more than sound proofing. The same basic principle can be applied to your office by adding sound absorbing materials such as the curtain you can see in the image of Chris Pirillo's office. If you spend much of your time in your office, and it sounds like you do, you should also consider measures to increase the sound transmission rating of the room. Since any specific recommendations would be based on the existing conditions I suggest you find a local design professional to assist.

I wonder if there might be a growing market for foil wallpape to suppress emf noise and if it can really be helpful.? The old physics texts talk about a Faraday cage but that could get expensive. FM radio used to be so clean inbetween stations. Nowdays the whole FM band seems to be filled with noise and has between channels.
