@eno: “1. Windowless rooms with wood/sheetrock walls are no match for bass. Brick and cement are, unless you’re using low grade garbage and even then. I know because I’ve experienced both.”
I get it. You’re an amazing developer of soundproof homes. But @johnpowell didn’t build his house (it’s an apartment), and stating that his materials are insufficient to withstand large amounts of noise pollution is not going to find much controversy here. Why are you mentioning it here?
Re: #2 – You’ve told me many times that you are amoral and don’t concern yourself with the suffering of others, so it might be difficult to explain the problem with having to seal up your windows – even if summer happens to be over – just to not be ear-f*cked.
Re: #3 – How does telling him to pay money he doesn’t have to buy soundproofing that won’t work helpful? We get that in a perfect world, people would have the resources to build their own homes so that they could protect themselves from douchbaggery, but he’s not in that situation. Telling him to buy things that don’t work is still as useful as saying, “why don’t you move?”.
