Sound carpet

+1 sbank, a natural wool rug will absorb better. I've been told that by a recording engineer. He recommended hanging a wool rug behind my speakers (it vented out the back) to keep the sound from transmitting down to my neighbor below me.

It did the trick.

All the best,

I use Oriental heavy wool rugs… they are extremely dense and therefore absorbent… beautiful, and relatively thin. Shop with your wife. You can see some of mine in photos of my systems. 

I've used wool in the past effectively, but enjoy my crazy sheepskin rug now. Also pics on my system page. Cheers,

Divorce.

Divorce can be a dual edged sword. While you may be able to put anything in any room you may not be able to afford anything… or a room.
