Also, do you have all of the furniture in the room? This will absorb some of the noise. Name: Julie L | Date: September 14, 2005, 1:33 pm | Answer: If you don't have drapes, add those. Not just a valance but panels in a medium to heavy material. The rug mentioned previously is a great idea too - be sure too get one large enough to cover the area even when the chairs are pulled out.
