Aloha Carey,
I was just thinking about this and there your's message :-) I haven't had much time for anything but work with our move 6 days away, but do you know if I can buy acoustic foam there at Home Depot or some place? The material on the Website I was looking at is
called "closed cell vinyl," and they say it acts as both a sound absorber and barrier, but it is very expensive. I'm hoping I can buy something in Hilo. I haven't found a whole lot I can do with the walls since we're renting and my budget isn't that great yet.
But I thought when we're there we can see how much sound gets through the walls. From what I've read, most of the sound comes through the windows, that is even closed windows, something like 80 percent.
Oh, and of all times for my son to first encounter his new home ....night time lol
We fly out of LAX at 10:30 a.m., but to allow time for the cat's at direct release inspection, we don't arrive in Hilo till after 6 p.m. Guess he's have a nice welcoming chorus. Other than worrying about my son,I'm so excited!
