@Fragglemuppet it's a really strange yet common thing for me to see pushed in the realm of home repairs & improvements --- these things called "sound proofing" & "noise reduction" because in as much as if I lived in a big & densely populated city (as I once did for a few years) that would make at least a little sense, where I am now it just doesn't, because there's rarely loud noises that don't mean some type of trouble & thusly I want to be able to hear what's happening.
