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?
