All true. We chose velvet curtains because I happen to live across a
recycle-store and they have 'em for next to nothing. All other
options are expensive. .. although, supposedly there is a company in
the netherlands that decorates sport-halls and so for fairs; after
the fair the throw everything out and you can pick up *miles* of
(short but intensly used) carpet for free. the guys we took over the
rehearsal room from said they got the carpet that way.
nicest option is a special kind of paint they make that looks just
like regular paint, but it has the capacity to absorb soundwaves to
the extreme - music halls use it sometimes. it looks the best and is
fire-safe. unfortunatly, if you buy it privatly it's about $50 a
square yard here.
cork also is rather expensive.
anyway, my point was that getting the volume down is the best hearing
protection.
