Recommended CD 4. Recommended Book 1. The other day a distraught father called me. A neighbor had taken exception to his son's choice of music. The father asked me if there was any way to control the sound coming out of his house.
Many people find themselves with a similar problem.
I explained that for tens of thousands of dollars we could design an isolated room, with lead walls and specially isolated mechanical systems so that it would be possible to breathe inside the sound-isolated structure. I helped design such an isolated room for the Danzante Flamenco Studio in Harrisburg, PA, located directly below an occupied apartment. For some reason, my caller balked at the cost. Of course, the obvious solution is to turn the volume control counter-clockwise. My caller was not convinced that his son would do this, and was afraid that he would wind up in jail.
