The former is stopping the unwanted sound getting in and can be a big an expensive job, whereas sound<em> treating</em> is quicker, cheaper and easier and involves working with the sounds inside the room. Ideally, they will both be done, but if you can’t then certainly do the latter: ‘treating’ the inside of the space, reducing sounds within it from bouncing around, so they are absorbed rather than creating a thin ‘echo’ effect with sound waves bouncing off hard surfaces and re-entering the mic.</p>","author_name":"Peter Stewart"}
