Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Common House Sound Proofing

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

After years of very loud dinners, we did extensive acoustics research. Cost
effective/ vs. sound reduction vs. esthetics led us to the decision to
carpet the dining area of the commonhouse. The noise reduction is
noticeable, the esthetics are acceptable, and cost was reasonable. We choose
to use 6 carpet sections that can be moved, replaced. This is an experiment
and we will see how long the carpet lasts in terms of spills, smells, etc.
Having it in sections makes cleaning and replacement fairly easy, at least
in theory.
