(I have four kids... this sounds like a great suggestion > somedays!) Acoustical treatments that _really_ work are expensive. The best in the business estimated ours at $35,000 but said $10,000 probably make us happy. We are hoping to spend less than $5,000 and see where that gets us. "Hoping" because we have to get it through a budget process in competition with lots of wet leaky things. Even with thousands of dollars what helps best is the expectation that people do not yell or run in the commonhouse. Running seems to bring on yelling. Adults also need to be reminded of this since adults playing with children seem to think running is a cool thing to do. Some groups seem to have the expectation that if you can't hear, you should talk softer. Others, take the reverse course. Awareness of noise pollution is my current strategy.
