This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces


These smart people at MIT may have found something that has possibilities for audio applications.  I'll take a couple of bolts of this.

It seems the possibilities are endless.  How about using it to block the infernal snoring of one's partner.  Now all we need is for someone to roll out the product.

 

Some have commented it might be very expensive. Perhaps. But if it became standardized and developed as a building material, audiophiles would benefit the way we do when we make our own absorbers, now.

Thanks for the tip. Google search lead me to couple of vendors selling soundproof curtains. It will be an interesting experiment to hear the result of combining these curtains with my existing GIK’s Gobo panels.
