Dear all,
I have a new 36" Toshiba flat screen with speakers on the front frame. We
do not have surround sound, as the room is fairly small. The tv sits in a
corner against a brick wall, and backs up to cable conduits. The problem is
how extremely well the noise carries through the brick wall and into the
next classroom, and how varied reactions are to the noise. We've filled all
gaps around the conduit with rubber caulking. Can anyone suggest
*inexpensive* solutions that would redirect sound away from the wall
without absorbing it? Or, how I might conduct tests to figure out what will
work best?

Contact me off-list if you like at [log in to unmask]
Thanks,
Tammy
