Acoustic foam panels are fairly cheap on ebay and are less messy than rock wool. If you place a few on surfaces that reflect towards sound apertures, it could go a long way. |

The point I was trying to make was that you can deaden a lot of noise with sound absorbent foam without needing to cover every surface and fill every hole. A good example is fitting a carpet or large curtain in an otherwise empty room. The relative silence can be deafening. The steel coverings over the foam will provide very little dampening of sound within the space. Similarly, painting a wall a dark colour can reduce the light levels in an otherwise well lit room. True, sound won't pass through the panels so well but that isn't going to be the dominant mechanism here. |

Yes I take your point entirely - just waiting for a job lot of something suitable to turn up :thumbup: |

Compressed fiberglass duct board is excellent for this application... Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk |

Yes you mentioned that before as I recall, but it doesn’t seem to be available this side of the pond. I had a search when you previously recommended it. Domestic ducted heating systems went out of fashion here in the mid ‘70s so perhaps that explains it. |
