The first time I discussed the problem with our chair, the only solution he could come up with was to pay some acoustical engineer $10,000 just to study the problem and come up with a recommendation. And he probably would have recommended something along with what you're suggesting, probably costing another $2- 5,000. The carpeting, lumber and screws cost less than $500. Not only that, the walls are painted gray, and I bought gray carpeting to match. It actually looks like it was planned this way. But the best thing, is that it is "reversible," in that I can remove the carpeting. There are 6 panels, so if needed, we can experiment with it. But for now, they are up, and everyone likes what's there. So, until someone complaints, it's staying. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
