More like sound dampening..
Our neighbours have only ever once complained about the home-cinema noise, when we had the subwoofer on watching pitch perfect and there was lots of music bass / constant beats. We're happy to not use the big-ass subwoofer and I'm satisfied with the low frequencies offered by the in-wall speakers.
So what I'm planning is more for peace of mind + my wife likes this idea...
The idea is to build a floor to ceiling book shelf, but only approximately 2.2 metres wide - because I have a AV shelf stack which I cannot move across as it'd block the rear right speaker. Also there are sockets behind it with speaker/hdmi ports.
You can give heavy but thin acoustic material, can't remember the name of it - but maybe I can line the back of a book shelf unit with it for even more acoustic dampening. The only thing is this shelf would cover just 2/3rds of the wall, would this have a significant impact?
an alternative would be try to incorporate the AV stack into the bookshelf unit.
and one other thought, is this all too heavy for engineered wood flooring with electric underfloor heating
front of room speaker layout.
